Alkylthioacetic acids (3-thia fatty acids) as non-beta-oxidizable fatty acid analogues: a new group of hypolipidemic drugs. III. Dissociation of cholesterol- and triglyceride-lowering effects and the induction of peroxisomal beta-oxidation.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1989
Previous work in this laboratory indicated that sulfur-substituted fatty acid analogues, 1.10-bis(carboxymethylthio)decane and alkylthioacetic acid, both non-beta-oxidizable compounds, and the beta-oxidizable alkylthiopropionic acid (1) caused, to ...

Carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1B 531K allele carriers sustain a higher respiratory quotient after aerobic exercise, but β3-adrenoceptor 64R allele does not affect lipolysis: a human model. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Carnitine palmitoyltransferase IB (CPT1B) and adrenoceptor beta-3 (ADRB3) are critical regulators of fat metabolism. CPT1B transports free acyl groups into mitochondria for oxidation, and ADRB3 triggers lipolysis in adipocytes, and their respective ...

Hematopoietic (stem) cells—The elixir of life?

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The aging of HSCs (hematopoietic stem cells) and the blood system leads to the decline of other organs. Rejuvenating aged HSCs improves the function of the blood system, slowing the aging of the heart, kidney, brain, and liver, and the occurrence of age‐related diseases.

Peroxisomal beta-oxidation of branched chain fatty acids in human skin fibroblasts.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1992
Human skin fibroblasts in suspension are able to degrade [1-14C]-labeled alpha- and gamma-methyl branched chain fatty acids such as pristanic and homophytanic acid.

Mechanisms of parasite‐mediated disruption of brain vessels

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Parasites can affect the blood vessels of the brain, often causing serious neurological problems. This review explains how different parasites interact with and disrupt these vessels, what this means for brain health, and why these processes matter. Understanding these mechanisms may help us develop better ways to prevent or treat brain infections in ...

Pretranslational regulation of cytochrome P4504A1 by free fatty acids in primary cultures of rat hepatocytes.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1994
The effect of different fatty acids on cytochrome P4504A1 mRNA levels was studied in primary cultures of rat hepatocytes, using a solution hybridization assay. All fatty acids tested induced P4504A1 mRNA levels in a dose- and time-dependent manner.

An upstream open reading frame regulates expression of the mitochondrial protein Slm35 and mitophagy flux

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals how the mitochondrial protein Slm35 is regulated in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The authors identify stress‐responsive DNA elements and two upstream open reading frames (uORFs) in the 5′ untranslated region of SLM35. One uORF restricts translation, and its mutation increases Slm35 protein levels and mitophagy.

Beta-Blocker Type Effect on Substrate Oxidation during HIIE in Heart Failure Patients: Pilot Data

Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia
The effect of third and second-generation type of beta-blocker on substrate oxidation especially during high-intensity exercises are scarce. The objective of the study is to explore differences of beta-blocker regimens (vasodilating vs.

Specificity in the action of hypolipidemic drugs: increase of peroxisomal beta-oxidation largely dissociated from hepatomegaly and peroxisome proliferation in the rat.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1982
Hypolipidemic drugs increased 3- to 4-fold the activity of the peroxisomal beta-oxidation system in rat liver, with modest or no effects on catalase activity, liver weight, or peroxisome abundance.

Inhibiting stearoyl‐CoA desaturase suppresses bone metastatic prostate cancer by modulating cellular stress, mTOR signaling, and DNA damage response

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Bone metastasis in prostate cancer (PCa) patients is a clinical hurdle due to the poor understanding of the supportive bone microenvironment. Here, we identify stearoyl‐CoA desaturase (SCD) as a tumor‐promoting enzyme and potential therapeutic target in bone metastatic PCa.
