Human Cytomegalovirus Infection Induces Adipocyte-Like Lipogenesis through Activation of Sterol Regulatory Element Binding Protein 1 [PDF]
ABSTRACT Sterol regulatory element binding proteins (SREBPs) are essential transcriptional factors that control expression of lipogenic genes and adipocyte differentiation. Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection has been shown to require the induction of lipogenesis.

High folic acid consumption leads to pseudo-MTHFR deficiency, altered lipid metabolism, and liver injury in mice. [PDF]
Increased consumption of folic acid is prevalent, leading to concerns about negative consequences. The effects of folic acid on the liver, the primary organ for folate metabolism, are largely unknown.

Acetyl-CoA Carboxylase β Gene Is Regulated by Sterol Regulatory Element-binding Protein-1 in Liver [PDF]
Acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) exists as two major isoforms originated from separate genes: ACCalpha (or ACC1) and ACCbeta (or ACC2). Previous data revealed that ACCbeta has two forms of mRNA with different 5'-untranslated regions derived by different usage of promoters, I and II, in human.

Regulatory role of isthmin-1 in glucose and lipid metabolism and its clinical implications [PDF]
Isthmin-1 (ISM1), a novel adipokine, regulates glucose and lipid metabolism with a tissue-specific manner. In skeletal muscle and adipose tissue, ISM1 activates the insulin-independent mTORC2/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, promoting GLUT4 translocation to ...

Fenofibrate improves renal lipotoxicity through activation of AMPK-PGC-1α in db/db mice. [PDF]
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-α, a lipid-sensing transcriptional factor, serves an important role in lipotoxicity. We evaluated whether fenofibrate has a renoprotective effect by ameliorating lipotoxicity in the kidney. Eight-week-old

Transcriptional Regulation of T-Cell Lipid Metabolism: Implications for Plasma Membrane Lipid Rafts and T-Cell Function [PDF]
It is well established that cholesterol and glycosphingolipids are enriched in the plasma membrane (PM) and form signalling platforms called lipid rafts, essential for T-cell activation and function.

Sulforaphane Improves Abnormal Lipid Metabolism via Both ERS-Dependent XBP1/ACC &SCD1 and ERS-Independent SREBP/FAS Pathways [PDF]
Scope: To investigate the effect of sulforaphane (SFN) on the abnormal lipid metabolism and underlying mechanisms. Methods and results: Models with abnormal lipid metabolism were established both in rats and human hepatocytes.
