Quantitative model for $^{13}$C tracing applied to citrate production and secretion of prostate epithelial tissue [PDF]
Healthy human prostate epithelial cells have the unique ability to produce and secrete large amounts of citrate into the lumen of the prostate. Citrate is a Krebs cycle metabolite produced in the condensation reaction between acetyl-CoA and oxaloacetate in the mitochondria of the cell. With the application of $^{13}$C enriched substrates, such as $^{13}

The application of a novel sampling device to the on-line analysis of fermentation broth [PDF]
This thesis describes the development of an automated, aseptic, sampling, centrifugation and analysis system for fermentation broth, and its link to a process control system for the control of sugars and organic acids in fermentation processes ...

Metabolism of Exogenous Oxaloacetate in Isolated Hepatocytes
AbstractThe utilization of exogenous oxaloacetate (OAA) was studied in isolated rat liver parenchymal cells. Phenylpyruvate and α-cyanohydroxycinnamate, which inhibit pyruvate carboxylase (EC 6.4.1.1) and pyruvate transport across the mitochondrial membrane, respectively, were equally effective in decreasing glucose formation from pyruvate and OAA ...

Reduction of oxaloacetate by pig liver isocitrate dehydrogenase [PDF]
Pure isocitrate dehydrogenase from pig liver cytoplasm catalyses the reduction of oxaloacetate by NADPH at a rate comparable with that observed for the usual substrates. The products are NADP and D‐malate, the ‘unatural’ isomer. High concentrations of magnesium (25 mM) are necessary for maximal activity, and the reaction is not appreciably reversible ...

Rapid and chemically diverse C transfer from trees to mycorrhizal fruit bodies in the forest
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) are common belowground tree symbionts, supplying trees with water and nutrients. In return, large amounts of C assimilated by trees can be allocated into EMF. However, the chemical forms in which the C is transferred from trees to fungi under

Distinct lineages of the grasshopper Chorthippus parallelus (Orthoptera: Acrididae) form a well‐known hybrid zone (HZ) in the Pyrenees mountain range; the Iberian endemism C. p. erythropus (Cpe) and the subspecies C. p. parallelus, (Cpp) widely distributed throughout the rest of Europe. Both subspecies differ in diverse traits, including the strains of

How microbes dynamically coordinate uptake and simultaneous utilization of nutrients in complex nutritional ecosystems is still an open question. Here, we develop a constraint-based modeling approach that exploits non-targeted exo-metabolomics data to ...

Effects of Aging on Glucose and Lipid Metabolism in Mice
Lien et al. report a characterization of metabolism with aging across three different strains of mice. They find that glucose metabolism is robust during healthy aging; however, aging tissues exhibit evidence of upregulated fatty acid and sphingolipid metabolism reactions that regenerate NAD+ from NADH.

Longevity Humans Have Youthful Erythrocyte Function and Metabolic Signatures
Longevity humans have “a youthful erythrocyte function and metabolism” with a youth‐like oxygen release and anti‐oxidative capability to combat tissue hypoxia and improve healthspan. ABSTRACT Longevity individuals have lower susceptibility to chronic hypoxia, inflammation, oxidative stress, and aging‐related diseases.

Old people with or without sarcopenia exhibited different gut microbiota and metabolite compositions. Mice receiving microbes from people with sarcopenia displayed lower muscle mass and strength compared with those receiving microbes from non‐sarcopenic donors.
