Signal regulatory protein alpha initiates cachexia through muscle to adipose tissue crosstalk [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Muscle wasting from chronic kidney disease (CKD) or from defective insulin signalling results in morbidity and, ultimately, mortality. We have identified an endogenous mediator of insulin resistance, signal regulatory protein alpha (SIRPα ...

Thermal degradation of citrus pectin in low-moisture environment - Influence of acidic and alkaline pre-treatment [PDF]
Pectin powder is degraded during storage and transport by demethoxylation and depolymerisation. The degradation mechanisms and especially the influence of pre-treatments on the degradation reactions are not completely understood.

The Mechanism of White and Brown Adipocyte Differentiation [PDF]
Obesity gives vent to many diseases such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia, being considered as the main causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide. The pathogenesis and pathophysiology of metabolic syndrome can well be understood by studying the molecular mechanisms that control the development and function of adipose tissue.

Browning mechanism and process optimization during MaizeMaize KX7349 Drying
Browning of KX7349 maize during drying occurred mainly in the pericarp layer. Browning was caused by oxidation of water soluble matter in the pericarp layer. Moisture content had no significant influence on browning rate.

Adipocyte lipid synthesis coupled to neuronal control of thermogenic programming [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The de novo biosynthesis of fatty acids (DNL) through fatty acid synthase (FASN) in adipocytes is exquisitely regulated by nutrients, hormones, fasting, and obesity in mice and humans. However, the functions of DNL in adipocyte biology and in

UV-A light treatment for controlling enzymatic browning of fresh-cut fruits [PDF]
Enzymatic browning is critical in the preservation of the quality and the shelf-life of fresh-cut fruits. Non-thermal technologies such as UV radiation are emerging for controlling polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity, the main agent responsible for ...

A comparison of freezing-damage during isochoric and isobaric freezing of the potato. [PDF]
BACKGROUND:Freezing is commonly used for food preservation. It is usually done under constant atmospheric pressure (isobaric). While extending the life of the produce, isobaric freezing has detrimental effects.

Research Progress on the Mechanism and Regulation of Enzymatic Browning in Peach Fruit [PDF]
Peaches are an ancient fruit in China, with great nutritional and commercial value. Peach fruit is a typical respiratory climacteric fruit, which is prone to browning within a short period of time after harvesting, and rapid browning and high browning ...
