The Influence of Drosophila Spire and Myosin V During Mid‐Oogenesis Is Independent of Their Direct Interaction

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cooperativity between cytoskeletal proteins is crucial for spatiotemporal coordination in biological processes, like oogenesis. In mammalian and Drosophila oogenesis, proper assembly and function of actin networks require coordination between actin assembly factors Spire and formins, as well as actin‐associated proteins like myosins and Rab ...

Fish Oil Ameliorates Glycolipid Metabolism Disorders Induced by Long‐Term Potato Chip Diet Through Gut‐Liver Axis

Food Frontiers, EarlyView.
Fried potato consumption is increasingly associated with metabolic disorders, yet preventive strategies remain poorly understood. In a 13‐week mouse model, long‐term potato chip intake induced significant glycolipid metabolic disturbances and tissue damage, which were ameliorated by fish oil supplementation through modulation of inflammation, hepatic ...

Insect‐Derived Bioactives for Glycemic Control and Gut Health: A Review

Food Frontiers, EarlyView.
Insect‐derived bioactive compounds (e.g., peptides, polysaccharides) effectively regulate blood glucose through dual mechanisms: directly inhibiting carbohydrate‐digesting enzymes and glucose transporters, and indirectly modulating gut microbiota to enhance intestinal barrier integrity.

Transcriptomic and phosphoproteomic profiling and metabolite analyses reveal the mechanism of NaHCO3-induced organic acid secretion in grapevine roots

BMC Plant Biology, 2019
Background Organic acid secretion is a widespread physiological response of plants to alkalinity. However, the characteristics and underlying mechanism of the alkali-induced secretion of organic acids are poorly understood.

Short-term actions of epigalocatechin-3-gallate in the liver: a mechanistic insight into hypoglycemic and potential toxic effects. [PDF]

FEBS Open Bio
Epigallocatechin‐3‐gallate (EGCG) acutely inhibited gluconeogenesis and enhanced glycolysis, glycogenolysis, and fatty acid oxidation in perfused rat livers. Mechanistic assays revealed mitochondrial uncoupling, inhibition of pyruvate carboxylation and glucose‐6‐phosphatase, shift of NADH/NAD+ ratios toward oxidation, and loss of membrane integrity ...
