Parameters of cholesterol metabolism in the human hepatoma cell line, Hep-G2.
The human hepatoma cell line Hep-G2 has been shown to express the major enzymes of intra- and extracellular cholesterol metabolism. These include lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase, acyl coenzyme A:cholesterol acyltransferase, 3-hydroxy-3 ...

Activation of hypolipidaemic drugs to acyl-coenzyme A thioesters [PDF]
Compounds possessing the characteristics of CoA thioesters of the hypolipidaemic peroxisome proliferators clofibric acid, nafenopin and ciprofibrate were formed on incubation of the drugs with rat liver microsomal fractions, ATP and CoA. The reactivity of the drugs correlated with their pharmacological potency. It is proposed that the active species of

Assessing the effect of dynamics on the closed-loop protein-folding hypothesis [PDF]
The closed-loop (loop-n-lock) hypothesis of protein folding suggests that loops of about 25 residues, closed through interactions between the loop ends (locks), play an important role in protein structure.

An acyl-CoA-binding protein changes the acyl-CoA and oil composition in seeds of transgenic Arabidopsis. Low-molecular mass (10 kD) cytosolic acyl-coenzyme A-binding protein (ACBP) has a substantial influence over fatty acid (FA) composition in oilseeds,

Inherited metabolic epilepsies–established diseases, new approaches
Abstract Inherited metabolic epilepsies (IMEs) represent the inherited metabolic disorders (IMDs) in which epilepsy is a prevailing component, often determining other neurodevelopmental outcomes associated with the disorder. The different metabolic pathways affected by individual IMEs are the basis of their rarity and heterogeneity.

Phloretin alleviates HFD‐induced obesity and suppresses adipogenesis by activating the ferroptosis pathway, potentially via targeting PPARγ and transferrin. ABSTRACT Phloretin, a plant‐derived dihydrochalcone bioactive compound, potentially modulates preadipocyte differentiation, although this remains controversial and requires further clarification ...

Hyperinsulinism in short-chain L-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency reveals the importance of beta-oxidation in insulin secretion [PDF]
A female infant of nonconsanguineous Indian parents presented at 4 months with a hypoglycemic convulsion. Further episodes of hypoketotic hypoglycemia were associated with inappropriately elevated plasma insulin concentrations.

Structural classification of biotin carboxyl carrier proteins [PDF]
We gathered primary and tertiary structures of acyl-CoA carboxylases from public databases, and established that members of their biotin carboxylase (BC) and biotin carboxyl carrier protein (BCCP) domains occur in one family each and that members of ...

Rabbit and human tissues contain substantial amounts of an unusual lipid, a fatty acid ester of a pentacyclic triterpene, that is a potent in vitro inhibitor of acyl-CoA:cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT). A possible origin of the triterpene ester is via
