Partial depletion of plasminogen activator inhibitor‐1 decreases subcutaneous fat cell hypertrophy and liver cholesterol in high‐fat‐fed female mice

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Obesity raises blood levels of PAI‐1, a protein linked to metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease in people with obesity. In female mice fed a high‐fat diet, partially lowering PAI‐1 led to smaller subcutaneous fat cells and lower liver cholesterol, without changing body weight or insulin sensitivity.

Lipid-lowering Efficacy of Plant Proteins and Their Application Potential

Shipin gongye ke-ji
In recent years, there has been a gradual increase in the prevalence of obesity, hyperlipidaemia, coronary atherosclerosis, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and other conditions attributed to shifts in dietary patterns. These chronic ailments resulting

Xylo-oligosaccharides improve the adverse effects of plant-based proteins on weaned piglet health by maintaining the intestinal barrier and inhibiting harmful bacterial growth

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
IntroductionPiglets are more susceptible to weaning stress syndrome when fed high levels of plant-based proteins that contain abundant food antigens and anti-nutritional factors.

Dietary plant-protein substitution affects hepatic metabolism in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) [PDF]

British Journal of Nutrition, 2004
The high dietary protein requirements of salmonid fish are met with fishmeal-based feed in commercial aquaculture. The sustainability of this practice is questionable and, therefore, the feasibility of substituting fishmeal with plant-based products needs to be investigated.

Antimetabolic effects of plant proteins on homopteran insect pests [PDF]

, 1993
Homopteran insect pests can cause severe economical damage to crop plants by both direct physical means and as vectors of plant viral diseases. They are notoriously difficult insects to control by conventional methods, primarily due to their ability to ...

Structural and biochemical analysis of a B12 superbinder

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
BtuG proteins are vitamin B12 scavengers in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, a dominant human gut bacterium. We present crystal structures of three BtuG homologs bound to cobalamin and its precursor cobinamide, revealing picomolar binding affinities, among the highest known for any natural protein.

Characterization of two, desiccation linked, Group 1 LEA proteins from the resurrection plant Xerophyta humilis [PDF]

, 2011
Studies on resurrection plants and other anhydrobiotic organisms show expression of Late Embryogenesis Abundant (LEA) proteins associated with desiccation tolerance. However, the precise role of these proteins has not been described.

In planta localisation patterns of MADS domain proteins during floral development in Arabidopsis thaliana [PDF]

, 2009
Background: MADS domain transcription factors play important roles in various developmental processes in flowering plants. Members of this family play a prominent role in the transition to flowering and the specification of floral organ identity. Several

Metastatic niche shaped by host factors influences disseminated cancer cell fate

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Metastasis is shaped not only by cancer cells but also by the environments they encounter. This review explores how factors such as aging, diet, the microbiome, lifestyle, and environmental exposures remodel organ‐specific niches in the lung, liver, bone, and brain, influencing where metastatic cells survive, remain dormant, or grow, and ultimately ...

Impact of Plant-Based Diets on Hepatosomatic Index, Circulating Globulins and Growth in Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

Fishes
Serum proteins are essential for maintaining osmotic pressure, regulating pH, transporting metabolites, and supporting immune responses. Studying the effects of plant-based diets on these proteins is crucial to understanding their impact on fish health ...
