The Plasma Free Fatty Acid Carrier Proteome is Altered in Diet‐Induced and Genetically Obese Mice

open access: yesObesity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective We aimed to examine the effect of obesity on the plasma free fatty acid (FFA) carrier proteome in mice. Methods From 6 to 20 weeks of age, male and female C57BL/6J wild‐type mice were fed either a low‐fat diet (10% of kilocalories from fat) or a high‐fat diet (60% of kilocalories from fat), and leptin‐deficient ob/ob mice were fed a ...

The importance of wild meat and freshwater fish for children's nutritional intake in the Congo Basin

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Wild meat and freshwater fish are widely consumed in the Congo Basin, but in some areas, they are at risk of disappearing due to unsustainable hunting and fishing and changes in their habitat. Wild meat is also at risk of being eliminated from local diets due to potential policy changes such as wild meat bans.

Current Insight into Human Ornithine Aminotransferase: A Review

open access: yesProteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Human ornithine aminotransferase (hOAT) is a mitochondrial matrix pyridoxal‐5′‐phosphate enzyme (PLP) that catalyzes the reversible transfer of the δ‐amino group of L‐ornithine (L‐Orn) to α‐ketoglutarate (α‐KG) yielding glutamate‐5‐semialdehyde (GSA) and glutamate. GSA is prone to cyclize to Δ1‐pyrroline‐5‐carboxylate.

Integrated genomic and transcriptomic approaches reveal oxidative stress adaptation mechanisms in a mesotrione‐resistant Amaranthus tuberculatus biotype

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Integrated GWAS and transcriptomics in a Canadian waterhemp biotype reveal mesotrione resistance is polygenic and metabolically driven. Significant SNPs and 187 herbicide‐responsive genes point to enhanced redox homeostasis, glutathione‐linked detoxification, lipid/secondary metabolism, and oxidative stress responses. Resistance arises from coordinated,
