Apolipoprotein (APO) C1 is a 6.6-kDa protein present in plasma and associated with lipoproteins. Using hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp tests, we previously found that in APOC1 transgenic mice, the whole-body insulin-mediated glucose uptake is increased concomitant with a decreased fatty acid
In this study, the beneficial effects of a homogalacturonan(HG)-type pectic polysaccharide from Ficus pumila L. fruits (FPLP) in obese mice were investigated. The 17-week FPLP treatment effectively attenuated obesity, as mainly demonstrated by the reductions of body weight, serum total cholesterol
Pentadecanoic acid (15:0) and heptadecanoic acid (17:0), the dairy-specific saturated fatty acids have been inversely, while inflammation and oxidative stress have been positively related to the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Both fatty acid metabolism and inflammation and oxidative stress
Imaging metabolic processes in the human heart yields valuable insights into the mechanisms contributing to myocardial pathology and allows assessment of the efficacy of therapies designed to treat cardiac disease. Recent advances in fatty acid (FA) imaging using positron emission tomography (PET)
BACKGROUND
We contrived a scatter correction method based on an artificial neural network (ANN) and applied it to the simultaneous evaluation of myocardial perfusion and fatty acid metabolism in single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT).
METHODS
The count data of three energy windows were
The emerging incidence of antibiotic resistance trait among the bacteria populating poultry presents a devastating public health issue. On the other hand, at present, diabetes and obesity are the most serious public health issues and are increasing subsequently at alarming rate. In view of this, the
Our recent metagenomics analysis has uncovered remarkable modifying effects of green tea polyphenols (GTP) on gut-microbiota community structure and energy conversion related gene orthologs in rats. How these genomic changes could further influence host health is still unclear. In this work, the
Excess dietary fructose is a major public health concern (1-4). Evidence shows increased fructose intake can cause insulin resistance, hepatic de novo lipogenesis, hypertriglyceridemia, obesity and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) (5-9). However, little is known about the effects of
A large body of evidence has linked unhealthy eating patterns with an alarming increase in obesity and chronic disease worldwide. However, existing methods of assessing dietary intake in nutritional epidemiology rely on food frequency questionnaires or dietary records that are prone to bias and
[18F]Fluorodeoxyglucose-PET/CT (18F-FDG-PET/CT) imaging has been invaluable for visualizing metabolically active adipose tissues in humans with potential anti-diabetic and anti-obesity effects. To explore whether mice display human-like fat depots in anatomically comparable regions, we mapped fat
