Monoacylglycerol Lipase Regulates Fever Response

PLOS ONE, 2015
Cyclooxygenase inhibitors such as ibuprofen have been used for decades to control fever through reducing the levels of the pyrogenic lipid transmitter prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). Historically, phospholipases have been considered to be the primary generator of the arachidonic acid (AA) precursor pool for generating PGE2 and other eicosanoids.

Monoacylglycerol lipase – a target for drug development? [PDF]

British Journal of Pharmacology, 2012
The endocannabinoid (eCB) system is involved in processes as diverse as control of appetite, perception of pain and the limitation of cancer cell growth and invasion. The enzymes responsible for eCB breakdown are attractive pharmacological targets, and fatty acid amide hydrolase inhibitors, which potentiate the levels of the eCB anandamide, are now ...

Liquiritigenin Ameliorates High‐Fat Diet‐Induced Hepatic Steatosis by Promoting Lipid Droplet Catabolism via PLIN2‐ATGL Regulation

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
Liquiritigenin promotes expression of CGI‐58 and enhances lipolysis by down‐regulating expression of PLIN2, thereby facilitating the catabolism of larger‐sized lipid droplets and producing smaller‐sized lipid droplets, resulting in enhanced activity of lipophagy and ameliorated hepatic steatosis. ABSTRACT Metabolic‐associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD)

Purification and properties of a monoacylglycerol lipase in human erythrocytes [PDF]

Biochemical Journal, 1995
A membrane-bound monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) activity, previously demonstrated in intact human erythrocytes [Boyer, Somma, Vérine, L'Hôte, Finidori, Merger and Arnaud (1981) J. Clin. Endocrinol. Metab. 53, 143-148], has now been purified to apparent homogeneity by a five-step procedure involving solubilization in CHAPS and sequential ...

Regulating Lipid Metabolism in Cancer: The Therapeutic Potential of Traditional Chinese Medicine

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
By regulating the reprogramming of lipid metabolism in tumor cells, TCM provides a novel strategy for antitumor therapy with reduced toxicity and enhanced efficacy. ABSTRACT Lipid metabolic reprogramming is a key feature of tumor cells to adapt to the microenvironment and plays an important role in tumor growth, invasion, and metastasis.

Biodiesel Production from Hevea brasiliensis Seeds: A Systematic Review

Vietnam 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.

Intrinsic up-regulation of 2-AG favors an area specific neuronal survival in different in vitro models of neuronal damage [PDF]

, 2012
BACKGROUND: The endocannabinoid 2-arachidonoyl glycerol (2-AG) acts as a retrograde messenger and modulates synaptic signaling e. g. in the hippocampus. 2-AG also exerts neuroprotective effects under pathological situations.
