Novel Effect of p-Coumaric Acid on Hepatic Lipolysis: Inhibition of Hepatic Lipid-Droplets
Molecules, 2023 p-coumaric acid (p-CA), a common plant phenolic acid with multiple bioactivities, has a lipid-lowering effect. As a dietary polyphenol, its low toxicity, with the advantages of prophylactic and long-term administration, makes it a potential drug for ...

Therapeutic potential of monoacylglycerol lipase inhibitors [PDF]
Life Sciences, 2013 Marijuana and aspirin have been used for millennia to treat a wide range of maladies including pain and inflammation. Both cannabinoids, like marijuana, that exert anti-inflammatory action through stimulating cannabinoid receptors, and cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitors, like aspirin, that suppress pro-inflammatory eicosanoid production have shown ...

Cytoplasmic fungal lipases release fungicides from ultra-deformable vesicular drug carriers. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The Transfersome® is a lipid vesicle that contains membrane softeners, such as Tween 80, to make it ultra-deformable. This feature makes the Transfersome® an efficient carrier for delivery of therapeutic drugs across the skin barrier.

Assay of Monoacylglycerol Lipase Activity [PDF]
, 2016 Monoacylglycerol lipase (MGL) is a serine hydrolase involved in the biological deactivation of the endocannabinoid 2-arachidonoyl-sn-glycerol (2-AG). 2-AG is one of the main endogenous lipid agonists for cannabinoid receptors in the brain and elsewhere in the body.

Inhibition of monoacylglycerol lipase reduces nicotine withdrawal [PDF]
British Journal of Pharmacology, 2015 Background and PurposeAbrupt discontinuation of nicotine, the main psychoactive component in tobacco, induces a withdrawal syndrome in nicotine‐dependent animals, consisting of somatic and affective signs, avoidance of which contributes to drug maintenance.

The evolution and comparative neurobiology of endocannabinoid signalling [PDF]
, 2012 CB(1)- and CB(2)-type cannabinoid receptors mediate effects of the endocannabinoids 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) and anandamide in mammals. In canonical endocannabinoid-mediated synaptic plasticity, 2-AG is generated postsynaptically by diacylglycerol ...

Seed storage oil mobilization is important but not essential for germination or seedling establishment in Arabidopsis [PDF]
, 1992 Triacylglycerol (TAG) is a major storage reserve in many plant seeds. We previously identified a TAG lipase mutant called sugar-dependent1 (sdp1) that is impaired in TAG hydrolysis following Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) seed germination (Eastmond,

Glicerolisis de aceite de sardina catalizada por una lipasa dependiente de agua en diferentes tert-alcoholes como medio de reacción [PDF]
, 2015 The production of monoacylglycerol rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) via enzymatic glycerolysis of sardine oil in a homogeneous system was evaluated. Reactions were conducted in two different tert-alcohols. Based on the phase equilibrium data,
