Regulation of lipid droplet size and phospholipid composition by stearoyl-CoA desaturase

Journal of Lipid Research, 2013
Fatty acid desaturation regulates membrane function and fat storage in animals. To determine the contribution of stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) activity on fat storage and development in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, we analyzed the lipid ...

Multi‐Target Pharmacological Mechanisms of Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge in Metabolic Syndrome and Cardiovascular Diseases: A Comprehensive Review Based on the Theory of “Same Treatment for Different Diseases”

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge in metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular diseases: multi‐target actions on shared signaling pathways. ABSTRACT Metabolic syndrome (MetS) represents a clinical disorder characterized by the clustering of conditions including obesity, elevated blood sugar levels, and high lipid levels, which are intricately linked to the onset ...

Functional Characterization of a Higher Plant Sphingolipid Δ4-Desaturase: Defining the Role of Sphingosine and Sphingosine-1-Phosphate in Arabidopsis [PDF]

, 2008
The role of Δ4-unsaturated sphingolipid long-chain bases such as sphingosine was investigated in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). Identification and functional characterization of the sole Arabidopsis ortholog of the sphingolipid Δ4-desaturase was ...

Regulating Lipid Metabolism in Cancer: The Therapeutic Potential of Traditional Chinese Medicine

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
By regulating the reprogramming of lipid metabolism in tumor cells, TCM provides a novel strategy for antitumor therapy with reduced toxicity and enhanced efficacy. ABSTRACT Lipid metabolic reprogramming is a key feature of tumor cells to adapt to the microenvironment and plays an important role in tumor growth, invasion, and metastasis.

Ozone‐driven degradation of sex pheromone in Plutella xylostella: Implications for reproductive communication and mating success

Insect Science, EarlyView.
In this study, we examined whether realistic ozone concentrations can interfere with sexual communication in the insect pest Plutella xylostella, the diamondback moth. Ozone exposure caused a degradation of pheromone components, leading to significant changes in blend composition and component ratios.

A newly discovered member of the fatty acid desaturase gene family: a non-coding, antisense RNA gene to delta5-desaturase

, 2006
The rate limiting steps in the conversion of 18-carbon unsaturated fatty acids to 20- and 22-carbon products are catalyzed by two desaturase enzymes (Delta5-desaturase and Delta6-desaturase) found within a lipid desaturase gene cluster.

The role of iron in normal and impaired testicular function

Andrology, EarlyView.
Abstract Iron plays a critical role in testicular physiology, impacting spermatogenesis, testosterone production, and overall testicular function. Iron homeostasis is maintained through systemic and cellular regulatory mechanisms, including hepcidin‐mediated systemic iron control and the iron‐responsive element/iron regulatory protein (IRE/IRP) system ...
