Emergence of Staphylococcus aureus Resistance to Antimicrobial Peptides Nisin, NZ2114 and Bacitracin Involves Multiple Phenotypic Changes

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
The AMP‐induced mutant Staphylococcus aureus strain nzR showed increased resistance, five gene mutations, and decreased surface anion levels. AMPs affect the NDH‐2 protein encoded by ndh gene inhibiting the growth of S. aureus. The deletion of the ndh gene promotes the development of AMPs resistance.

Complex Interplay of Metabolic Substrates, Points of Entry into the Mitochondrial Electron Chain, and ROS Generation

BioEssays, EarlyView.
Recently, Singh et al. studied the influence of reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation by the ETC on mitochondrial morphology in baker's yeast. Their findings highlight evolutionary constraints, important trade‐offs using different metabolic substrates, and connections with points of entry into the ETC, ROS production, the FADH2/NADH ratio concept ...

Inhibition of cholesterol biosynthesis in hypercholesterolemia: Is it the right choice? [PDF]

Journal of Medical Biochemistry, 2013
Cholesterol biosynthesis is a complex pathway comprising more than 20 biochemical reactions. Although the final product created in the pathway is cholesterol, the intermediate products, such as ubiquinone and dolichol, also provide vital metabolic ...

Simvastatin overcomes the pPCK1‐pLDHA‐SPRINGlac axis‐mediated ferroptosis and chemo‐immunotherapy resistance in AKT‐hyperactivated intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma

Cancer Communications, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is a challenging cancer with an increasing incidence. The Phase III TOPAZ‐1/KEYNOTE‐966 study demonstrated chemo‐immunotherapy (CIT) as a significant advancement, potentially replacing traditional chemotherapy for advanced biliary tract cancer.

Effect of p-chlorophenoxyisobutyrate (CPIB) fed to rats on hepatic biosynthesis and catabolism of ubiquinone

Journal of Lipid Research, 1968
The effect of p-chlorophenoxyisobutyrate (CPIB) feeding on cholesterol and ubiquinone metabolism in rats was investigated. The results obtained from acetate-l-14C and mevalonate-2-14C incorporation studies both in vivo and in vitro confirm the results of

Electrochemical Studies of Benzoquinone, Hydrobenzoquinone, Diphenoquinone and Hydrodiphenoquinone‐Based Compounds

Electrochemical Science Advances, EarlyView.
The advantages of organic redox mediators over traditional inorganic counterparts are availability; they may in the future enlarge their applicability in all systems involving electron transfer during electrochemical processes. Several quinones, diphenoquinones and respective reduced forms, hydrobenzoquinones and hydrodiphenoquinones, were synthesized,

Oat Bran Supplementation Improves Glucose Metabolism, Food Addiction, and Gut Microbiota in Rats With High‐Fat Diet‐Induced Obesity

Food Frontiers, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oat bran (OB), a byproduct of the oat milling process, is a nutrient‐dense cereal cultivated in cool, dry mountainous regions and is known for its potential health benefits. To explore its obesity‐alleviating effects and the underlying mechanisms, we examined the influence of OB on glucose metabolism, appetite‐regulating hormones, gut ...

Ubiquinone supplementation during lovastatin treatment: effect on LDL oxidation ex vivo1

Journal of Lipid Research, 1998
A randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled cross-over trial was carried out to evaluate whether ubiquinone supplementation (180 mg daily) corrects impaired defence against initiation of oxidation of low density lipoprotein (LDL) related to effective
