Biodiesel Production from Hevea brasiliensis Seeds: A Systematic Review

open access: yesVietnam Journal of Chemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Hevea brasiliensis (HB) species, also called the rubber tree, is currently cultivated worldwide for the extraction of latex, an input for rubber production. In addition, its seeds currently have few productive applications, despite their high oil content.

Hepatic monoacylglycerol acyltransferase: ontogeny and characterization of an activity associated with the chick embryo.

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1989
Hepatic monoacylglycerol acyltransferase is expressed during the perinatal period in rats and guinea pigs and appears to be related temporally to the availability of fatty acids and to the development of hepatic steatosis.

Is there a role for cannabidiol in obesity, metabolic syndrome and binge eating?

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of the most abundant phytocannabinoids isolated from the Cannabis sativa plant. CBD is a lipophilic, non‐intoxicating substance that differently from Δ9‐tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9‐THC) does not present the typical profile of a drug of abuse.

Novel approaches for drug development against chronic primary pain: A systematic review

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Chronic primary pain (CPP) persisting for more than 3 months, associated with significant emotional distress without any known underlying cause, is an unmet medical need. Traditional or adjuvant analgesics do not provide satisfactory pain relief for a great proportion of these patients.

Covalent fluorescent probes for 2‐arachidonoylglycerol metabolic pathways

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Covalent fluorescent probes have emerged as versatile chemical tools to visualise active enzymes in complex biological systems. When tailored for specific applications, ranging from activity‐based protein profiling for drug development to high spatiotemporal resolution imaging of enzymatic activities, these probes provide unique insights into ...

Perinatal hepatocyte/hepatoma hybrids: construction of clones that express the developmentally regulated monoacyglycerol acyltransferase activity.

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1990
Microsomal monoacyglycerol acyltransferase is a developmentally expressed enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of sn-1,2-diacylglycerol from sn-2-monoacylglycerol and palmitoyl-CoA.

Impact of incretin analogues on lipid and lipoprotein metabolism in obesity and diabetes

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Incretin‐based therapies have gained momentum as a key strategy for reducing cardiovascular risk in individuals with obesity and/or type 2 diabetes (T2D). It remains unclear whether the cardiovascular benefits reflect a direct reduction in atherogenic lipoproteins—namely, low‐density lipoproteins (LDL), very low‐density lipoproteins (VLDL) and

SCD2 Alleviates Diabetes‐Associated Cognitive Dysfunction by Improving Microglial Lipid Metabolism

open access: yesCell Proliferation, EarlyView.
This study reveals a novel mechanism of microglial metabolic dysfunction in diabetic cognitive impairment. Defective SCD2 disrupts monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) metabolism, triggering mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation dysfunction and leading to abnormal lipid droplet accumulation (marked by PLIN2).

Properties of acyl-coenzyme A:1-acylglycerophosphate acyltransferase and lipases in porcine erythrocyte membranes.

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1984
Acyl-CoA:1-acylglycerophosphate acyltransferase activity was found in porcine erythrocyte membranes. However, the membrane preparations did not catalyze the acylation of either 2-acylglycerophosphate or 2-acylglycerophosphocholine.

Circadian disruption elicits sex‐specific gut microbiota, endocannabinoidome, and lipid mediator responses

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Circadian disruption via constant light induces sex‐specific remodeling of the microbiome, lipid mediators, and immune responses. Females exhibit broader gut microbiota alterations, reduced jejunal oxylipins, increased hypothalamic N‐acylethanolamines, and a more inflammatory cytokine profile. Muscle responses are sex‐ and fiber type‐dependent: females
