Apolipoprotein F is reduced in humans with steatosis and controls plasma triglyceride‐rich lipoprotein metabolism

open access: yesHepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Hepatic APOF transcript levels correlate inversely with plasma TG and hepatic steatosis in humans. ApoF expression in mice promotes VLDL‐TG production and lipoprotein remnant clearance in mice. Abstract Background NAFLD affects nearly 25% of the global population. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the most common cause of death among patients with NAFLD,

The mevalonate pathway in C. elegans [PDF]

open access: yesLipids in Health and Disease, 2011
The mevalonate pathway in human is responsible for the synthesis of cholesterol and other important biomolecules such as coenzyme Q, dolichols and isoprenoids. These molecules are required in the cell for functions ranging from signaling to membrane integrity, protein prenylation and glycosylation, and energy homeostasis. The pathway consists of a main

A move in response to starvation

open access: yeseLife, 2021
When a yeast cell runs out of fuel, it can increase the flux through a central metabolic pathway by simply changing the location of an enzyme.

Management of Mevalonate Kinase Deficiency: A Pediatric Perspective

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2020
Background: Mevalonate kinase deficiency (MKD) is an inborn error of metabolism leading to a syndrome characterized by recurrent inflammation. This clinically manifests itself as fever and can be accompanied by gastrointestinal symptoms, oral ulcers ...

Mevalonate Kinase Deficiency and Squalene Synthase Inhibitor (TAK-475): The Balance to Extinguish the Inflammation

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2021
Mevalonate Kinase Deficiency (MKD) is a rare inborn disease belonging to the family of periodic fever syndromes. The MKD phenotype is characterized by systemic inflammation involving multiple organs, including the nervous system.

Effect of ethanol on cholesterol and bile acid metabolism

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1972
Ethanol feeding increased significantly levels of hepatic esterified cholesterol and serum free and esterified cholesterol in rats. Incorporation of intraperitoneally administered [14C]acetate into cholesterol was significantly increased.

Role of Withaferin A and Its Derivatives in the Management of Alzheimer’s Disease: Recent Trends and Future Perspectives

open access: yesMolecules, 2021
Globally, Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is one of the most prevalent age-related neurodegenerative disorders associated with cognitive decline and memory deficits due to beta-amyloid deposition (Aβ) and tau protein hyperphosphorylation. To date, approximately

Evidence for an underestimation of the shunt pathway of mevalonate metabolism in slices of livers and kidneys from fasted rats and rats in diabetic ketosis

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1982
Yields of (14)CO(2) from [2-(14)C]mevalonate and [5-(14)C]mevalonate have been used by others to estimate the activity of the non-sterol-forming pathway, also called the mevalonate shunt pathway, and yields of (14)C in sterols have been used to estimate ...

Determination of mevalonate in blood plasma in man and rat. Mevalonate “tolerance” tests in man.

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1979
A method is described for the determination of mevalonate in ultrafiltrates of blood plasma. The method depends on the phosphorylation of mevalonate with [gamma-32P]ATP and mevalonate kinase to 5-[32P]phosphomevalonate, and the subsequent isolation of ...
