The Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxykinase of Verticillium albo-atrum [PDF]

Microbiology, 2000
Partially purified phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase from Verticillium albo-atrum had a pH optimum of 6·2 and required manganese for maximum activity, having lesser activity with iron or cobalt. Sodium and potassium ions were slightly stimulatory. Adenosine-5′-diphosphate increased activity and inosine-5′-diphosphate supported low activity, but other ...

Bioactive polysaccharides and their potential health benefits in reducing the risks of metabolic syndrome: A review

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Abstract Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a complex noncommunicable condition characterized by central obesity, insulin resistance, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and hyperglycemia. Epidemiological evidence shows that MetS affects a third of the global population; however, due to its complex pathogenesis and limited drug therapy options, the increasing ...

Betaine supplementation in maternal diet modulates the epigenetic regulation of hepatic gluconeogenic genes in neonatal piglets. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
In this study, gestational sows were fed control or betaine-supplemented diets (3 g/kg) throughout the pregnancy, and the newborn piglets were used to elucidate whether maternal dietary betaine affected offspring hepatic gluconeogenic genes through ...

Effects of SADS‐CoV accessory proteins NS3a, NS7a, and NS7b on viral pathogenicity: A multi‐omics investigation

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
This study has elucidated the role of three swine acute diarrhea syndrome coronavirus (SADS‐CoV) accessory proteins in influencing viral pathogenicity and preliminarily explored the host molecular targets and pathways affected by the NS3a, NS7a, and NS7b proteins of SADS‐CoV.

Characteristics of C-4 photosynthesis in stems and petioles of C-3 flowering plants [PDF]

, 2002
Most plants are known as C-3 plants because the first product of photosynthetic CO2 fixation is a three-carbon compound. C-4 plants, which use an alternative pathway in which the first product is a four-carbon compound, have evolved independently many ...

A Mediterranean Diet‐Based Food Mix Ameliorates Diabetes‐ and Obesity‐Associated Liver Alterations Through Mitochondrial and Metabolic Reprogramming

Molecular Nutrition &Food Research, EarlyView.
Metabolic syndrome (MetS)‐related conditions are key factors in liver damage. A Mediterranean lifestyle shows promise in managing MetS, though its mechanisms remain unclear. This study tested a lab‐designed food mix mimicking the 1960s Mediterranean Diet (MD) on obese and diabetic mice; it prevented hyperlipidemia and reduced oxidative liver damage ...

Differential gene expression in Chorthippus parallelus (Zetterstedt, 1821) (Orthoptera: Acrididae: Gomphocerinae) induced by Wolbachia infection

Insect Science, EarlyView.
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

-Glutamine supplementation promotes an improved energetic balance in Walker-256 tumor–bearing rats

Tumor Biology, 2017
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 ...
