Modulation of Lipid Transport and Adipose Tissue Deposition by Small Lipophilic Compounds

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020
Small lipophilic molecules present in foods of plant origin have relevant biological activities at rather low concentrations. Evidence suggests that phytosterols, carotenoids, terpenoids, and tocopherols can interact with different metabolic pathways ...

Characterization of the sterol 14α-demethylases of Fusarium graminearum identifies a novel genus-specific CYP51 function [PDF]

, 2013
CYP51 encodes the cytochrome P450 sterol 14-demethylase, an enzyme essential for sterol biosynthesis and the target of azole fungicides. In Fusarium species, including pathogens of humans and plants, three CYP51 paralogues have been identified with one ...

Membrane composition and thermodynamic identity as boundaries of life for synthetic cell research

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
What makes a cell a cell? The boundary of a living cell is not just a wall. Read as a Markov blanket, the membrane separates internal from external states, generating identity and non‐equilibrium order. Can this identity be rebuilt from scratch in a synthetic cell?

Effects of IGFBP4 deficiency on human preadipocyte proliferation and differentiation through the IGF1R/AKT pathway

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
IGFBP4 knockdown (KD) impairs preadipocyte proliferation and is associated with IGF1R protein downregulation and attenuated AKT phosphorylation. The mechanisms by which IGFBP4 KD influences the IGF1R/AKT signaling pathway involve newly synthesized proteins and lysosomal degradation pathways. Created in BioRender.

Vertical distributions of lipid biomarkers in spring and summer in coastal regions of the East China Sea

Frontiers in Marine Science
Lipid biomarkers are amongst the most widely used proxies in studies of the structure and functioning of marine food webs. However, vertical distributions of lipid biomarkers and their controlling mechanisms remain unclear, especially in highly dynamic ...

Impact of Roasting on Quality and Compositional Characteristics of Fig Seed Oil

Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2023
This study investigates the effect of roasting time and temperature on the chemical parameters and bioactive compound content of fig seed oil. For this purpose, fig seeds were ground and roasted in an electrical oven at 100, 150 and 200 °C for 10 and 20 ...

Evaluating the effect of γ‐oryzanol on MASLD pathology using a medaka fish model

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This study explores a liver disease called MASLD, which is increasing worldwide and can lead to serious damage. Researchers used medaka fish instead of rodents to test a food compound, γ‐oryzanol. Fish fed this compound had less liver fat and healthier gut bacteria.
