Non-esterified fatty acids generate distinct low-molecular weight amyloid-β (Aβ42) oligomers along pathway different from fibril formation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide aggregation is known to play a central role in the etiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Among various aggregates, low-molecular weight soluble oligomers of Aβ are increasingly believed to be the primary neurotoxic agents ...

mTORC2 sustains thermogenesis via Akt-induced glucose uptake and glycolysis in brown adipose tissue [PDF]
, 2016 Activation of non-shivering thermogenesis (NST) in brown adipose tissue (BAT) has been proposed as an anti-obesity treatment. Moreover, cold-induced glucose uptake could normalize blood glucose levels in insulin-resistant patients.

Systemic redox status in lung cancer patients is related to altered glucose metabolism. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Altered systemic redox status is often observed in lung cancer. However, detailed information on factors other, than smoking, which influence this perturbation is rather scarce.

Physiological regulation of NEFA availability: lipolysis pathway [PDF]
Proceedings of the Nutrition Society, 2004 Plasma NEFA are an important energy substrate and, furthermore, play a key role in the induction of insulin resistance in the body. The availability of NEFA is determined predominantly by their mobilization from adipose tissue triacylglycerol stores by the process of lipolysis.
