Multi-Target Anti-Obesity Potential of <i>Coula edulis</i> Nut Extract in High-Fat Diet-Induced Obesity in Rats. [PDF]
This study evaluated the multi‐target anti‐obesity effects of Coula edulis nut extract (CEE) in high‐fat diet‐induced obese Wistar rats. Following 4 weeks of obesity induction, rats received oral CEE at 1 or 2 g/kg body weight, or orlistat for 5 weeks under continued high‐fat diet or normal diet conditions.

Production of Mevalonic Acid by Fermentation [PDF]
The purpose of this investigation was to select microorganisms that produce substantial quantities of mevalonic acid and to develop an economic fermentation process. To screen for mevalonic acid-producing microorganisms, it was necessary to improve the method for the quantitative determination of this acid.

Bacterial Metabolism of Mevalonic Acid [PDF]
Soluble cell-free extracts of actinomycete S4 grown on media containing mevalonate catalyze acetoacetate formation from mevalonate, mevaldate, and β-hydroxy-β-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A (CoA). Conversion of mevalonate to acetoacetate involves formation of free β-hydroxy-β-methylglutaryl-CoA, but not free mevaldate.

SummarySynthetic isovalthine (S-(isopropyl-carboxymethyl)-cysteine) was added to urine from hypercholesterolemic patients that had received mevalonic acid-2-C14 intravenously. Isovalthine recovered from the urine was found to be devoid of radioactivity thus indicating that either (a) mevalonic acid is not a precursor of isovalthine, or (b) mevalonic ...

Studies on a mevaldic acid reductase of rat liver*
A TPNH-specific mevaldic reductase of rat liver has been partially purified. This enzyme fraction catalyzes the reduction of both optical isomers of mevaldic acid to isomeric mevalonic acids.

Biosynthesis of Abscisic Acid by the Non-mevalonate Pathway in Plants, and by the Mevalonate Pathway in Fungi [PDF]
The biosynthetic pathways to abscisic acid (ABA) were investigated by feeding [1-(13)C]-D-glucose to cuttings from young tulip tree shoots and to two ABA-producing phytopathogenic fungi. 13C-NMR spectra of the ABA samples isolated showed that the carbons at 1, 5, 6, 4', 7' and 9' of ABA from the tulip tree were labeled with 13C, while the carbons at 2,
