Lactate: brain fuel in human traumatic brain injury: a comparison with normal healthy control subjects. [PDF]

, 2015
We evaluated the hypothesis that lactate shuttling helps support the nutritive needs of injured brains. To that end, we utilized dual isotope tracer [6,6-(2)H2]glucose, that is, D2-glucose, and [3-(13)C]lactate techniques involving arm vein tracer ...

Cytosolic Phosphoenoylpyruvate Carboxykinase Deficiency: Clinical, Biochemical, and Genetic Features of Five Non‐Finnish Patients

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cytosolic phosphoenoylpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK‐C) is an essential, rate‐limiting enzyme in the gluconeogenesis pathway. PEPCK‐C deficiency presents with hypoglycaemia, hyperlactataemia and hepatopathy, and was first reported in association with bi‐allelic PCK1 variants in 2014.

Mapping quantitative trait loci underlying body weight changes that act at different times during high‐fat diet challenge in collaborative cross mice

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Over one billion people worldwide suffer from obesity, and the number is continually rising. Animal models, especially mouse models, are crucial to identifying the genetic components of complex disorders and exploring the potential applications of these genetic findings.

Gluconeogenesis: An ancient biochemical pathway with a new twist

Fly, 2017
Synthesis of sugars from simple carbon sources is critical for survival of animals under limited nutrient availability. Thus, sugar-synthesizing enzymes should be present across the entire metazoan spectrum.

Branched-Chain Amino Acid Negatively Regulates KLF15 Expression via PI3K-AKT Pathway. [PDF]

, 2017
Recent studies have linked branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) with numerous metabolic diseases. However, the molecular basis of BCAA's roles in metabolic regulation remains to be established.

Metabolic and biochemical profiling reveals phenotypic heterogeneity in Zucker diabetic fatty rats

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Genetically uniform Zucker Diabetic Fatty (ZDF) rats spontaneously develop four distinct metabolic phenotypes despite identical housing and diet conditions. Each phenotype exhibits unique biomarker signatures encompassing glucose homeostasis, insulin secretion, polyol pathway activation, oxidative stress, inflammatory cytokines, and neurotrophic ...

Equine models in translational medicine: A comparative approach to human health

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
This diagram summarizes and contrasts rodent and equine models, outlining their strengths, limitations, and applications. Horses offer naturally occurring diseases, genetic and physiological similarities to humans, and suitability for longitudinal and clinical‐scale studies.

S-adenosylmethionine deficit disrupts very low-density lipoprotein metabolism promoting liver lipid accumulation in mice

Journal of Lipid Research
Hepatic deletion of methionine adenosyltransferase-1a (Mat1a) in mice reduces S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe), a key methyl donor essential for many biological processes, which promotes the development and progression of metabolic dysfunction-associated ...

daf-16/FoxO promotes gluconeogenesis and trehalose synthesis during starvation to support survival

eLife, 2017
daf-16/FoxO is required to survive starvation in Caenorhabditis elegans, but how daf-16IFoxO promotes starvation resistance is unclear. We show that daf-16/FoxO restructures carbohydrate metabolism by driving carbon flux through the glyoxylate shunt and ...

Hepatic morphology and serum biochemical profile according to dry and rainy seasons in Pygocentrus nattereri (Characiformes: Serrasalmidae)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigated the physiological and morphological adaptations of the liver of the carnivorous fish Pygocentrus nattereri (piranha) in response to seasonal variations (dry and rainy seasons) in the Brazilian Pantanal. The objective was to describe how the liver, a central organ in metabolic regulation, responds to environmental ...
