OBJECTIVE
Atherosclerosis is a chronic and progressive inflammatory disease of the arteries that is characterized by subendothelial accumulation of lipid-rich macrophages, called foam cells. We sought to identify the molecular details of cross-talk between liver X receptor α (LXRα) and
Cholesterol, low/high density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLc, HDLc), triglycerides and phospholipids plasma concentrations were measured in arterial (UA) and venous (UV) cord blood samples collected at birth in 22 healthy newborn infants (G-I) in 24 intrapartum stressed newborn infants (G-II) and in
The effect of fasting on the mechanics of contraction was studied in the isolated perfused rat heart, in oxygenated and hypoxic conditions. Animals were subjected to 48 h of fasting, a condition which produces augmented endogenous triglycerides (TG). Normal and fasted rats were submitted to a 10-min
Plasma lipoproteins are a source of lipids for the heart, and the proportion of electronegative low density lipoprotein [LDL(-)] is elevated in cardiometabolic diseases. Perilipin 5 (Plin5) is a crucial protein for lipid droplet management in the heart. Our aim was to assess the effect of LDL(-) on
At normal atmospheric pressure, an erucic acid-supplemented diet produces an increase of heart mitochondrial triglycerides. With the same quantity of erucic acid, hypoxia emphasizes the triglyceride overload in rat heart mitochondria. Thus, hypoxia increases the risk caused by rapeseed-oil. In
BACKGROUND
A previous study has demonstrated that endurance training under hypoxia results in a greater reduction in body fat mass compared to exercise under normoxia. However, the cellular and molecular mechanisms that underlie this hypoxia-mediated reduction in fat mass remain uncertain. Here, we
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the impact of transient (2-4 h) hypoxia on metabolic reprogramming of adipocytes.
METHODS
The impact of transient hypoxia on metabolic reprogramming was investigated in 3T3-L1 cells before and after differentiation. Glucose uptake, fatty acid oxidation, lipolysis and
Elaborate control mechanisms of intracellular triacylglycerol (TAG) breakdown are critically involved in the maintenance of energy homeostasis. Hypoxia-inducible lipid droplet-associated protein (HILPDA)/hypoxia-inducible gene-2 (Hig-2) has been shown to affect intracellular TAG levels, yet, the
The liver is a major site of glucose, fatty acid, and triglyceride (TG) synthesis and serves as a major regulator of whole body nutrient homeostasis. Chronic exposure of humans or rodents to high-calorie diets promotes non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, characterized by neutral lipid accumulation in
Chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) inhibits plasma lipoprotein clearance and adipose lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity in association with upregulation of an LPL inhibitor angiopoietin-like protein 4 (Angptl4). We hypothesize that CIH inhibits triglyceride (TG) uptake via Angptl4 and that an
Circulating fatty acids are a major systemic energy source in the fasting state as well as a determinant of hepatic triglycerides (TG)-rich very-low-density lipoprotein production. Upon acute hypoxia, sympathetic arousal induces adipose tissue lipolysis, resulting in an increase in circulating
Elevated plasma triglyceride (TG) concentrations are an important contributor to deleterious metabolic alterations. Evidence in animals suggest that acute exposure to an environment with reduced oxygen inhibits plasma TG clearance and causes important rise in plasma TG, especially in OBJECTIVE
Delayed lipoprotein clearance is associated with atherosclerosis. This study examined whether chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH), a hallmark of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), can lead to hyperlipidaemia by inhibiting clearance of triglyceride rich lipoproteins (TRLP).
RESULTS
Male
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) play major roles in the regulation of hepatic lipid metabolism through the control of numerous genes involved in processes such as lipid uptake and fatty acid oxidation. Here we identify hypoxia-inducible lipid droplet-associated (Hilpda/Hig2) as a
Adaptation to hypoxia involves hypoxia-inducible transcription factors (HIFs) and requires reprogramming of cellular metabolism that is essential during both physiological and pathological processes. In contrast to the established role of HIF-1 in glucose metabolism, the involvement of HIFs and the
