Colorimetric measurement of triglycerides cannot provide an accurate measure of stored fat content in Drosophila. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Drosophila melanogaster has recently emerged as a useful model system in which to study the genetic basis of regulation of fat storage. One of the most frequently used methods for evaluating the levels of stored fat (triglycerides) in flies is a coupled ...

RIPK3 dampens mitochondrial bioenergetics and lipid droplet dynamics in metabolic liver disease
Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022 RIPK3 dampens mitochondrial bioenergetics and lipid droplet dynamics in metabolic liver disease. Abstract Background and Aims Receptor‐interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3) mediates NAFLD progression, but its metabolic function is unclear. Here, we aimed to investigate the role of RIPK3 in modulating mitochondria function, coupled with lipid droplet (LD)

Developing the reaction kinetics for a biodiesel reactor [PDF]
, 2009 The aim of this paper was to investigate the kinetics of the biodiesel reaction in order to find out how best to reach 96.5% methyl ester. The purity of the biodiesel product was examined using gas chromatography to the EN14214 FAME standard and real ...

Effect of very low-density lipoproteins on lipid transfer in incubated serum
Journal of Lipid Research, 1965 Incubation of human serum solutions low in glyceride content for 16 hr resulted in a net increase of cholesterol esters in all three major human serum lipoprotein classes, namely the very low-density lipoproteins of d < 1.006 (VLDL), low-density ...

Genetics of fat storage in flies and worms: what went wrong? [PDF]
, 2011 Body weight and fat storage are strongly influenced by an individual’s genetic makeup. In humans, genetic polymorphisms have been identified that have effects on body mass index (BMI) and fat content (Meyre et al., 2009; Speliotes et al., 2010; Choquet ...
