Yeh1 constitutes the major steryl ester hydrolase under heme-deficient conditions in Saccharomyces cerevisiae [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Steryl esters are stored in intracellular lipid droplets from which they are mobilized upon demand and hydrolyzed to yield free sterols and fatty acids. The mechanisms that control steryl ester mobilization are not well understood.

Alterations and mechanistic insights of gut microbiota and its metabolites in type 2 diabetes mellitus and Alzheimer's disease

open access: yesiMetaOmics, EarlyView.
This narrative review uniquely addresses how gut microbiota‐derived metabolites mediate overlapping pathologies of insulin resistance, neuroinflammation, and amyloidogenesis in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and Alzheimer's disease (AD), proposing a framework for dual therapeutic targeting.

Review article

open access: yes, 2019
In eukaryotic cells, the trans-Golgi network (TGN) serves as a platform for secretory cargo sorting and trafficking. In recent years, it has become evident that a complex network of lipid-lipid and lipid-protein interactions contributes to these key ...

A conserved mechanism of Hedgehog gradient formation by lipid modifications [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Members of the Hedgehog (Hh) family of proteins are conserved morphogens that modulate cell fates in target tissues in different developmental systems. Dysregulation of Hh signaling results in a wide range of human diseases.

Astrocyte Lipid Droplet Dynamics Orchestrate Neurological Disorders and Therapeutic Horizons

open access: yesSmall Science, EarlyView.
This review examines astrocyte lipid droplet (LD) metabolism in neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, stroke, epilepsy, and glioma. It analyzes regulatory mechanisms governing LD formation, transport, and degradation in astrocytes, highlighting their potential as biomarkers and therapeutic targets through integrative multiomics ...

Atherosclerosis and Alzheimer - diseases with a common cause? Inflammation, oxysterols, vasculature [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
BACKGROUND: Aging is accompanied by increasing vulnerability to pathologies such as atherosclerosis (ATH) and Alzheimer disease (AD). Are these different pathologies, or different presentations with a similar underlying pathoetiology?

Gut Microbiota Regulate Lipid Metabolism via the Bile Acid Pathway: Resistance to Hypoxia in Gansu Zokor (Eospalax cansus)

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
The gut microbiota regulates lipid metabolism of Gansu zokor (Eospalax cansus) through the bile acid pathway in hypoxic environments, reflecting the unique survival strategy of subterranean rodents to maintain lipid metabolism homeostasis and flexible energy metabolism in hypoxic environments.

Structures, targets and recent approaches in anti-leishmanial drug discovery and development. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Recent years have seen a significant improvement in available treatment options for leishmaniasis. Two new drugs, miltefosine and paromomycin, have been registered for the treatment of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) in India since 2002.

Role for the liver X receptor agonist 22‐ketositosterol in preventing disease progression in an Alzheimer's disease mouse model

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Liver X receptors (LXRs) are promising therapeutic targets for alleviating Alzheimer's disease (AD) symptoms. We assessed the impact of the semi‐synthetic LXR agonist 22‐ketositosterol on disease progression in an AD mouse model.

Redirection of lipid flux toward phospholipids in yeast increases fatty acid turnover and secretion [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Bio-based production of fatty acids and fatty acid-derived products can enable sustainable substitution of petroleum-derived fuels and chemicals. However, developing new microbial cell factories for producing high levels of fatty acids requires extensive
