NDI-010976, an allosteric inhibitor of acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylases (ACC) ACC1 and ACC2, reduces hepatic de novo lipogenesis (DNL) and favorably affects steatosis, inflammation, and fibrosis in animal models of fatty liver disease. This study was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled,
The total cytosol activity of acetyl-CoA carboxylase (acetyl-CoA:CO(2) ligase (ADP), EC 6.4.1.2) in the liver is known to be 6- to 10-fold higher in genetically obese hyperglycemic mice (C57BL/6J-ob) than in nonobese mice. The results of immunochemical titrations, Ouchterlony double-diffusion
OBJECTIVE
A relationship between free fatty acids, intramuscular triglycerides (TG(M)s), and insulin resistance is widely accepted. The intracellular level of malonyl-coenzyme A (CoA) was suggested to be the possible link. Acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) is a key enzyme in fatty acid metabolism,
Topiramate (TPM) treatment has been shown to reduce adiposity in humans and rodents. The reduction in adiposity is related to decreased food intake and increased energy expenditure. However, the molecular mechanisms through which TPM induces weight loss are contradictory and remain to be clarified.
BACKGROUND
Health beneficial effects of blueberry have been well documented. Obesity is health hazard that is associated with metabolic abnormalities. We investigated the effect of blueberry leaf extract (BBLE) on high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity in C57BL/6J mice.
METHODS
C57BL/6 mice were fed
Hepatic acyl-coenzyme A synthetase (ACS), carnitine palmitoyltransferase-I (CPT-I) and acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase (ACC) are coenzymes associated with the genetic type of obesity in animal models. This paper reports the use of microchip electrophoresis (ME) with a laser-induced fluorescence (LIF)
In a previous study, we demonstrated the anti-obesity and hypolipidemic effects of Boussingaulti gracilis Miers var. pseudobaselloides Bailey in high-fat diet-induced obese rats. The present study investigated the molecular mechanisms by which B. gracilis Miers var. pseudobaselloides Bailey ethanol
We compared hepatic expression of genes that regulate lipid biosynthesis and metabolic signaling in liver biopsy specimens from women who were undergoing gastric bypass surgery (GBP) for morbid obesity with that in women undergoing ventral hernia repair who had experienced massive weight loss (MWL)
We examined the actions of a second-generation ciliary neurotrophic factor analog (CNTF(Ax15)) on AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), a known regulator of food intake. Unlike leptin CNTF(Ax15) has been shown to reduce food intake in obese rodents and humans. Intraperitoneal injection of CNTF(Ax15)
Chronic intracerebroventricular (icv) administration of neuropeptide-Y (NPY; 10 micrograms/day) was performed in normal female rats to investigate its hormonal and metabolic consequences. Intracerebroventricular NPY produced hyperphagia, increased basal insulinemia, as well as liver and adipose
Obesity in humans is associated with lipid accumulation in skeletal muscle, insulin and leptin resistance, and type 2 diabetes. AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is an important regulator of fatty acid (FA) metabolism in skeletal muscle. To address the hypothesis that lipid accumulation in
Several adipocyte-secreted factors have been demonstrated to potentially link obesity, insulin resistance, and cardiovascular disease. Among those, adiponectin is an insulin-sensitizing and anti-inflammatory adipokine, concentrations of which are decreased in obesity-associated metabolic and
Previous studies have shown that piglets weaned to a liquid milk replacer (MR), rather than a typical dry diet (DD) regimen, have improved growth rates and deposit more energy as body fat. In the present study, we used this model to determine whether changes in the expression of genes linked to the
Acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylase (ACC) is an attractive target for research into the treatment of a variety of human diseases, including diabetes, obesity and cancer. Mounting evidence suggests that the inhibition of ACC induced of cancer cell apoptosis. However, whether the inhibition of ACC regulates
