Aryl Phosphoramidates of 5-Phospho Erythronohydroxamic Acid, A New Class of Potent Trypanocidal Compounds [PDF]

, 2010
RNAi and enzymatic studies have shown the importance of 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6-PGDH) in Trypanosoma brucei for the parasite survival and make it an attractive drug target for the development of new treatments against human African ...

Computer‐Aided Functional Oligosaccharide Screening and the Regulatory Role in Lipid Metabolism

Food Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigated the lipid‐lowering effects and intervention mechanisms of structurally diverse functional oligosaccharides on non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). By integrating computational tools such as molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations (MDS), a comprehensive “in silico‐in vitro‐in vivo” tri‐dimensional ...

Assay for the terminal enzyme of the stearoyl coenzyme A desaturase system using chick embryo liver microsomes

Journal of Lipid Research, 1977
The NADH-dependent stearoyl CoA desaturase of hepatic microsomes (EC 1.14.99.5) is an enzyme system consisting of cytochrome b5 reductase (EC 1.6.2.2), cytochrome b5, and the terminal desaturase. We have developed a simple method for routine assay of the

Aloe vera Tannin Ameliorates Fructose‐Induced Dyslipidaemia and Oxidative Stress in Wistar Rats

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Aloe vera tannin (AVT) significantly enhances liver reduced glutathione and superoxide dismutase activities in rats. Fructose consumption creates dyslipidaemia in rats by significantly increasing serum cholesterol and LDL levels. AVT prevented fructose‐induced dyslipidaemia in rats by controlling the lipid profile. AVT did not affect liver, hippocampus

Biosynthesis of presqualene pyrophosphate by liver microsomes

Journal of Lipid Research, 1970
Microsomes from rat liver have been shown to synthesize a squalene precursor from farnesyl pyrophosphate. This intermediate is identical with presqualene pyrophosphate, a 30-carbon cyclopropane containing pyrophosphate ester that had previously been ...

Activation of HMG-CoA reductase by microsomal phosphatase

Journal of Lipid Research, 1983
HMG-CoA reductase activity can be modulated by a reversible phosphorylation-dephosphorylation with the phosphorylated form of the enzyme being inactive and the dephosphorylated form, active. Phosphatases from diverse sources, including cytosol, have been

Sidedness of ceramide-phosphoethanolamine synthesis on rat liver and brain microsomal membranes.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1987
Phosphatidylethanolamine:ceramide-ethanolamine-phosphotransferase catalyzes the synthesis of ceramide-phosphoethanolamine, a sphingomyelin analogue. Its localization was studied in rat liver and brain microsomes.
