Is there a role for cannabidiol in obesity, metabolic syndrome and binge eating?

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of the most abundant phytocannabinoids isolated from the Cannabis sativa plant. CBD is a lipophilic, non‐intoxicating substance that differently from Δ9‐tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9‐THC) does not present the typical profile of a drug of abuse.

A lipid‐sensitive food choice behavior influences aging outcomes from a longevity‐promoting diet

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
C. elegans are exposed to a variety of bacteria in their natural environment and must be able to distinguish between beneficial and detrimental food sources. We show that C. elegans exposed to the bacterium from their natural habitat, Methylobacterium, disrupts lipid homeostasis, causing worms to avoid this bacterial species and choose the laboratory ...

Antiobesity action of ɛ-polylysine, a potent inhibitor of pancreatic lipase

Journal of Lipid Research, 2006
In vitro, ɛ-polylysine (EPL) strongly inhibited the hydrolysis of trioleoylglycerol emulsified with phosphatidylcholine (PC) and taurocholate by either pancreatic lipase or carboxylester lipase.

L‐Glutamine Plus L‐Glutamic Acid Enhances Antioxidant Status and Ammonia Toxicity Resilience, Upregulates Interleukin IL‐10 Gene, and Improves Gut Microbiota and Survival in Juvenile Nile Tilapia

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Glutamine (Gln) and glutamic acid (Glu) are the most abundant free amino acids (AAs) in the fish body. Although classified as non‐essential AAs, their supplementation can be a strategy to optimize the growth performance and health of fish.

Improving the chemical properties of Buriti oil (Mauritia flexuosa L.) by enzymatic interesterification

Grasas y Aceites, 2018
Although Amazonian oils present great potential for various applications, they have not been extensively explored for commercial use. In this study, the effects of enzymatic interesterification of buriti oil in relation to its triacylglycerol composition,

Identification and functional analysis of class 3 lipases associated with triacylglycerol metabolism in Nannochloropsis oceanica (Eustigmatophyceae)

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Microalgae accumulate triacylglycerols (TAGs) as storage lipids in response to nutrient limitation, yet the mechanisms governing TAG turnover remain incompletely understood. In the oleaginous microalga Nannochloropsis oceanica, functional studies of TAG degradation have focused on lipases containing patatin domains, whereas the roles of other ...

Triacylglycerol Lipase Activities of Cultured Rat L6 Myoblasts [PDF]

Australian Journal of Biological Sciences, 1985
The utilization of exogenous triacylglycerol by fusing and non-fusing rat L6 myoblasts grown in culture was investigated. Although small quantities of triacylglycerol were accumulated by both cell lines during an incubation of 2 h, no evidence could be found for the presence of lipoprotein lipase, either in the cells or released into the medium.

Improved Triacylglycerol Production in Acinetobacter baylyi ADP1 by Metabolic Engineering

Microbial Cell Factories, 2011
Background Triacylglycerols are used in various purposes including food applications, cosmetics, oleochemicals and biofuels. Currently the main sources for triacylglycerol are vegetable oils, and microbial triacylglycerol has been suggested as an ...

Disruption of starch biosynthesis and triacylglycerol degradation impairs growth but improves photosynthesis in Arabidopsis

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Proposed model for altered carbon partitioning in wild‐type (a) and tgd1 sdp1 adg1‐1 Arabidopsis triple mutant (b). Summary Enhancing lipid accumulation by redirecting carbon from starch to triacylglycerol (TAG) in vegetative tissues is a promising strategy for developing high‐energy‐density crops for bioenergy production. However, our understanding of

Binding and intracellular trafficking of lipoprotein lipase and triacylglycerol-rich lipoproteins by liver cells

Journal of Lipid Research, 1998
The cellular mechanisms and pathways by which lipoprotein lipase (LPL) enhances the binding and uptake of lipoproteins remains unknown. Confocal and immunoelectron microscopy demonstrated that primary binding of bovine LPL (bLPL) occurs at the microvilli
