Cancer-derived myocardial damage is an important cause of death in cancer patients. However, the development of dietary interventions for treating such damage has not been advanced. Here, we investigated the effect of dietary intervention with lauric acid (LAA) and glucose, which was effective
BACKGROUND
Oral intake of medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs) reportedly suppresses the accumulation of visceral fat and has antitumor effects in tumor-bearing animals. MCFAs penetrate the mitochondrial membrane in a carnitine shuttle-independent manner and are metabolized more quickly than long-chain
Skeletal muscle volume is associated with prognosis of cancer patients. Maintenance of skeletal muscle is an essential concern in cancer treatment. In nutritional intervention, it is important to focus on differences in metabolism between tumor and skeletal muscle. We examined the influence of oral
Storage was an essential part of brown rice circulation. During the storage process, the metabolic activity of brown rice was still ongoing, and long-term storage lead to the deteriorate of brown rice. Metabolomics analysis was performed using GC-MS to investigate the changes in GPR40 was originally isolated from human genomic DNA by degenerate PCR. We isolated GPR40 cDNAs from various species, and precisely analyzed its mRNA expression in rat tissues, and found that GPR40 was highly expressed in beta cells in the islets of rat pancreas. When compared to the cell-surface
To obtain information on the role of iron-catalyzed lipid peroxidation in the presence of the small amount of lipid peroxide in deterioration of biological membranes, we examined factors affecting peroxidation of fatty acids in charged micelles. Peroxidation of linoleic acid (LA) was catalyzed by
OBJECTIVE
Although retinoid X receptor (RXR) and peroxisome proliferator activated receptor-gamma (PPARgamma) agonists have antidiabetic effects in hyperinsulinaemic animals, little information exists on their effects after pancreatic beta-cell failure. Thus, we examined if RXR and PPARgamma
Fourteen dogs received an orthotopically vascularized allograft of a 100-cm length of terminal ileum as a Thiry-Vella segment. Absorption, motility, myoelectrical activity and morphology of the allograft were studied to determine the most reliable indices of rejection. The earliest histological
Acyl-acyl carrier protein (ACP) thioesterases (TE EC 3.1.2.14) are fatty acid biosynthesis key enzymes that determine fatty acid carbon chain length in most plant tissues. A full-length cDNA corresponding to one of the fatty acyl-ACP thioesterase (Fat) genes, designated LcFatB, was isolated from
Anther cuticle and pollen exine act as protective envelopes for the male gametophyte or pollen grain, but the mechanism underlying the synthesis of these lipidic polymers remains unclear. Previously, a tapetum-expressed CYP703A3, a putative cytochrome P450 fatty acid hydroxylase, was shown to be
BACKGROUND
Nutritional recommendations are aimed at, among others, reducing morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular diseases and metabolic disorders, which are common in the aging population. Adherence to these recommendations allows not only to stop the progression of a disease but also to
To explore the effect of bradykinin on rats with thromboangiitis obliterans (TAO) through the phosphatidylinositol 3-hydroxy kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/Akt) signaling pathway.The female Wistar rats were injected with lauric acid via the femoral artery to
