Acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA) carboxylase activity, amount, and mRNA levels increase during the differentiation of 30A-5 preadipocytes to adipocytes. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) completely prevents this differentiation, with concomitant inhibition of acetyl-CoA carboxylase mRNA accumulation. To
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is secreted by macrophages in response to various stimuli and blocks lipid accumulation during the conversion of preadipocytes to adipocytes in culture. In the present report, we investigate the effect of recombinant TNF on the expression of acetyl-coenzyme-A (CoA)
Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) stimulates hepatic lipogenesis. Therefore, it could play a role in the control of ketogenesis. To test this hypothesis, we measured simultaneously free fatty acids (FFA; [1-13C]palmitate) and ketone body (KB; [3,4-13C2]acetoacetate) kinetics, before and after
Tumor necrosis factor/cachectin (TNF) inhibits differentiation of 30A5 preadipocytes into adipocytes. In this process, TNF inhibits the expression of the gene for acetyl-coenzyme-A carboxylase, the rate-limiting enzyme for biogenesis of long chain fatty acids. One of the early reactions caused by
Effects of asiatic acid (AA) at 10 or 20 mg/kg/day upon hepatic steatosis in mice consuming a high-fat diet (HFD) were examined. AA intake decreased body weight, water intake, feed intake, epididymal fat, and plasma and hepatic triglyceride levels in HFD-treated mice (P < 0.05). HFD enhanced
Cytokines induce a number of changes in lipid metabolism that can produce hyperlipidemia. Leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), a recently discovered cytokine, has been suggested to play a role in the cancer cachexia syndrome through its ability to decrease lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity. This study
It has previously been established that supplementation of trans-10, cis-12 18:2 reduces milk fat content and fat deposition in several species. The objectives of the study were 1) to examine whether potential mechanisms by which trans-10, cis-12 18:2 is reported to affect lipid metabolism in
Earlier, we demonstrated that chronic exposure to monocrotophos (MCP) elicits insulin resistance in rats along with increased white adipose tissue (WAT) weights. This study was carried out to delineate the biochemical and molecular changes in adipose tissues of rats subjected to chronic exposure to
Alcohol intake remains the most important cause of fatty liver throughout the world. The current study was undertaken to determine whether dietary supplementation with Codonopsis lanceolata root water extract attenuates the development of alcoholic fatty liver in rats and to elucidate the molecular
The AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) signaling system plays a key role in cellular stress by repressing the inflammatory responses induced by the nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) system. Previous studies suggest that the anti-inflammatory role of AMPK involves activation by adenine, but the
Obesity and dyslipidemia are major risk factors associated with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). NAFLD refers to the accumulation of fat in more than 5% of the liver without alcohol consumption. NAFLD is the most common liver disease and is rapidly becoming a global public BACKGROUND
Microdermabrasion is a popular method of superficial skin resurfacing. It is unclear if dermal remodeling actually occurs.
OBJECTIVE
To rigorously investigate the molecular alterations observed following a single microdermabrasion treatment.
METHODS
Forty-nine subjects received a single
Ethnopharmacological relevance: The root of Gentiana dahurica Fisch (called Qin-Jiao in China), a traditional Chinese medicine, is used in China to treat alcoholic liver disease (ALD), but there has been no scientific report on the
OBJECTIVE
More than 60% of advanced cancer patients suffer from anorexia and cachexia. This review focuses on the possible mechanisms by which the endocannabinoid system antagonizes cachexia-anorexia processes in cancer patients and how it can be tapped for therapeutic
Background: As a typical representative of metabolic syndrome, obesity is also one of the extremely dangerous factors of cardiovascular diseases. Thus, the prevention and treatment of obesity has gradually become a global campaign. There
