High-Density Lipoprotein, Lecithin: Cholesterol Acyltransferase, and Atherosclerosis

open access: yesEndocrinology and Metabolism, 2016
Epidemiological data clearly show the existence of a strong inverse correlation between plasma high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) concentrations and the incidence of coronary heart disease.

Effect Differences of Omega‐3 Fatty Acids From Plant Oil and Fish Oil on Human Health

open access: yesAgriFood: Journal of Agricultural Products for Food, EarlyView.
Omega‐3 fatty acids in plant oil is no less than fish oil on human health. ALA in plant oil takes directly healthy effects without conversion to DHA and EPA. Plant oil can be substitutes for fish oil to support partial ω‐3 fatty acids. For people who cannot afford fish oil, plant oil is also good for public health.

Identification of an SCPL Gene Controlling Anthocyanin Acylation in Carrot (Daucus carota L.) Root

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Anthocyanins are natural health promoting pigments that can be produced in large quantities in some purple carrot cultivars. Decoration patterns of anthocyanins, such as acylation, can greatly influence their stability and biological properties and use ...

Chronic high‐fat diet induces multi‐organ dysfunction and metabolic homeostasis disruption in Macaca fascicularis

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
An 18‐month HFD successfully established a translational Macaca fascicularis model replicating key metabolic disorders (MASH, diabetes, cardiac hypertrophy). MASH was determined by liver biopsy histology, the presence steatosis, inflammatory infiltration, hepatocytic ballooning, and fibrosis were considered as MASH; diabetes was diagnosed according to ...

The plasma lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase reaction

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1968
Evidence for the existence of a plasma lecithin: cholesterol acyltransferase is reviewed with emphasis not only on the lipid reactants, but also on the lipoprotein “substrates” and “products.” The cholesteryl esters of all major lipoprotein classes ...

Acyltransferases Regulate Oil Quality in Camelina sativa Through Both Acyl Donor and Acyl Acceptor Specificities

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Camelina sativa is an emerging biotechnology oil crop. However, more information is needed regarding its innate lipid enzyme specificities. We have therefore characterized several triacylglycerol (TAG) producing enzymes by measuring in vitro substrate ...

Hydroxycarboxylic Acid Receptor 2 Mediates β‐hydroxybutyrate's Antiseizure Effect in Mice

open access: yesAnnals of Neurology, EarlyView.
A Objective The ketogenic diet, a high‐fat, low‐carbohydrate regimen, is often used to treat drug‐resistant seizures and is being studied for Alzheimer's disease and other neuropsychiatric disorders. However, its mechanism of action remains unclear. β‐hydroxybutyrate, a primary circulating ketone body produced by the ketogenic diet, may mediate its ...

Structural basis for selective recognition of acyl chains by the membrane-associated acyltransferase PatA

open access: yesNature Communications, 2016
The biosynthesis of phospholipids and glycolipids are critical pathways for virtually all cell membranes. PatA is an essential membrane associated acyltransferase involved in the biosynthesis of mycobacterial phosphatidyl-myo-inositol mannosides (PIMs ...

Silencing AT3 gene reduces the expression of pAmt, BCAT, Kas, and Acl genes involved in capsaicinoid biosynthesis in chili pepper fruits

open access: yesBiologia Plantarum, 2015
The effects of AT3-gene silencing on the expression of genes involved in capsaicinoid biosynthesis was investigated in chili pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) cv. Tampiqueño 74 fruits.
