Diacylglycerol kinase (DGK) isoforms regulate signal transduction and lipid metabolism. DGKδ deficiency leads to hyperglycemia, peripheral insulin resistance, and metabolic inflexibility. Thus, dysregulation of other DGK isoforms may play a role in metabolic dysfunction. We investigated DGK isoform
Obesity in dogs and cats have been increasingly recognized in recent years. Because obesity underlies various diseases, pet owners and veterinarians have an important responsibility to help animals lose weight and maintain their health. Diet therapy, however, is typically based on limited calorie
Dietary fat is normally in TAG form, but diacylglycerol (DAG) is a natural component of edible oils. Studies have shown that consumption of DAG results in metabolic characteristics that are distinct from those of TAG, which may be beneficial in preventing and managing obesity. The objective of the
A randomized, double-blind controlled, parallel-group designed trial was performed to investigate the effect of alpha linolenic acid (ALA)-enriched diacylglycerol (DAG) on visceral fat area (VFA) in obese subjects. One hundred eighty-four obese subjects were recruited and randomly allocated to two
Diacylglycerol (DAG) is a natural component of edible oils with metabolic characteristics distinct from those of triacylglycerol (TAG). Consumption of DAG oil (containing > 80% DAG) induces greater fat oxidation than consumption of TAG oil. We compared the effects of 4 days of DAG oil consumption
OBJECTIVE
The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of 1-year ad libitum consumption of diacylglycerol oil on body weight and serum triglyceride in Japanese men and women. DESIGN/SUBJECTS/INTERVENTION: In a 1-year double-blind, placebo-controlled parallel trial with clinic visits at
To investigate the effect of dietary 1,3-diacylglycerol (DAG) on the development of insulin resistance (IR) and obesity, brown adipose tissue-deficient mice, a model of high-fat diet-induced IR and obesity, were fed Western-type diets (WTD) containing either DAG oil (n = 8) or standard
OBJECTIVE
Although insulin resistance has been associated with accumulations of specific intramuscular fatty acids and altered subcellular localisation of lipid droplets, these concepts remain controversial. Therefore, we aimed to identify specific intramuscular fatty acids and subcellular lipid
OBJECTIVE
Obesity is a complex disorder involving many genetic and environmental factors that are required to maintain energy homeostasis. While studies in human populations have led to significant progress in the generation of an obesity gene map and broadened our understanding of the genetic basis
1. Genetically obese Zucker rats (fa/fa) contain 2-3 times higher activities mono- and diacylglycerol lipases in their spinal cords than their lean littermates. 2. When rats were exercised (1 hr daily, 5 days/week) on a treadmill for 6 months, there was a decrease of about 30% (P less than 0.05) in
High intracellular 1,2,-sn-diacylglycerol (DAG) usually activates protein kinase C (PKC). In choline-deficient Fischer 344 rats, we previously showed that fatty liver was associated with elevated hepatic DAG and sustained activation of PKC. Steatosis is a sequelae of many liver toxins, and we wanted
Diacylglycerol acyltransferase-1 (DGAT-1) is the enzyme that catalyzes the final and committed step of triglyceride formation, namely, the acylation of diacylglycerol with acyl coenzyme A. DGAT-1 deficient mice demonstrate resistance to weight gain on high fat diet, improved insulin sensitivity, and
Apolipoprotein B100 (apoB100) is an essential component of very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), both independent markers of cardiovascular risk. Nicotinic acid (NA) is an efficacious drug for decreasing VLDL and LDL, but the underlying mechanisms are unclear. For
Pradigastat is a potent and selective inhibitor of diacylglycerol acyltransferase 1, an enzyme highly expressed in the small intestine that plays a key role in postprandial triglyceride synthesis. This first-in-human study evaluated the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, safety, and tolerability of
We have developed a series of adamantane carboxylic acid derivatives exhibiting potent diacylglycerol acyltransferase 1 (DGAT1) inhibitory activities. Optimization of the series led to the discovery of E-adamantane carboxylic acid compound 43c, which showed excellent in vitro activity with an IC50
