-Glutamine supplementation promotes an improved energetic balance in Walker-256 tumor–bearing rats
We evaluated the effects of supplementation with oral l -glutamine in Walker-256 tumor–bearing rats. A total of 32 male Wistar rats aged 54 days were randomly divided into four groups: rats without Walker-256 tumor, that is, control rats (C group ...

The PEP—pyruvate—oxaloacetate node as the switch point for carbon flux distribution in bacteria: We dedicate this paper to Rudolf K. Thauer, Director of the Max-Planck-Institute for Terrestrial Microbiology in Marburg, Germany, on the occasion of his 65th birthday [PDF]
In many organisms, metabolite interconversion at the phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP)-pyruvate-oxaloacetate node involves a structurally entangled set of reactions that interconnects the major pathways of carbon metabolism and thus, is responsible for the ...

Which way does the citric acid cycle turn during hypoxia? The critical role of alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex [PDF]
The citric acid cycle forms a major metabolic hub and as such it is involved in many disease states involving energetic imbalance. In spite of the fact that it is being branded as a "cycle", during hypoxia, when the electron transport chain does not ...

ABSTRACT Phosphate (Pi) is an essential macronutrient for plant development that is often limited in soil. Plants have evolved dynamic biochemical, physiological and morphological adaptations to cope with Pi deficiency, known as the Pi starvation response (PSR).

Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase 1 (PCK1), a step limiting enzyme of gluconeogenesis, is downregulated in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Overexpression of PCK1 has been shown to suppress hepatoma cell growth, but the underlying mechanism remains ...

The relative importance of kinetic mechanisms and variable enzyme abundances for the regulation of hepatic glucose metabolism – insights from mathematical modeling [PDF]
Background Adaptation of the cellular metabolism to varying external conditions is brought about by regulated changes in the activity of enzymes and transporters.

Ginsenoside Rg1 (Rg1) from Panax ginseng shows multifunctional health effects. Although oral bioavailability is low and blood–brain barrier (BBB) penetration is limited, delivery systems such as liposomes and nanoparticles may improve exposure. Rg1 reduces inflammation/oxidative stress by inhibiting nuclear factor‐κB (NF‐κB) signaling and reactive ...

ABSTRACT Background Skeletal muscle wasting and weakness are prominent disease features. Originally considered to arise from common transcriptional changes, recent analyses demonstrated that different stimuli induce muscle wasting via largely distinct mRNA and protein changes.

The Subgingival Host–Microbial Landscape in Mothers With Periodontitis and Their At‐Risk Offspring
ABSTRACT Aim To evaluate the subgingival proteome and microbiome of mothers with periodontitis and their offspring, thereby assessing signatures of periodontal diseases. Methods Forty participants in four groups were included: mothers with periodontitis and their offspring, as well as periodontally healthy mothers and their offspring.
