Immuno-modulator metallo-Peptide reduces inflammatory state in obese zucker fa/fa rats.

Only registered users can translate articles

Metabolic syndrome is a prothrombotic and proinflammatory chronic state. In obesity, the adipose tissue secretes various adipokines that take part in a variety of physiological and pathophysiological processes, including immunity and inflammation. Previous studies using a liver damage model treated

[Effects of dihydromyricetin on high fat diet induced obesity in mice and its mechanism]

Only registered users can translate articles

Objective: To observe the effects of dihydromyricetin (DHM) on obesity induced by high-fat diet in mice, and to explore whether its mechanism of action is related to the promotion of WAT browning. Methods: Sixty c57bl/6j mice were

Development of formaldehyde dehydrogenase-coupled assay and antibody-based assays for ALKBH5 activity evaluation.

N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most prevalent internal modification of eukaryotic messenger RNA (mRNA). Until now, two RNA demethylases have been identified, including FTO (fat mass and obesity-associated protein) and ALKBH5 (α-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase alkB homologue 5). As a mammalian

Reduction in corpora lutea number in obese melanocortin-4-receptor-deficient mice.

Only registered users can translate articles

Obese melanocortin-4-receptor-deficient (MC4R-/-) male mice are reported to have erectile dysfunction, while homozygous MC4R-/- female mice are apparently fertile. A recently established obese mouse strain, carrying an inactivating mutation in the MC4R gene, revealed difficulties in breeding for the

The obesity-associated FTO gene encodes a 2-oxoglutarate-dependent nucleic acid demethylase.

Variants in the FTO (fat mass and obesity associated) gene are associated with increased body mass index in humans. Here, we show by bioinformatics analysis that FTO shares sequence motifs with Fe(II)- and 2-oxoglutarate-dependent oxygenases. We find that recombinant murine Fto catalyzes the Fe(II)-

Protein cross-linkage induced by formaldehyde derived from semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase-mediated deamination of methylamine.

Only registered users can translate articles

Semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO) catalyzes the conversion of methylamine to formaldehyde. This enzyme is located on the surface of the cytoplasmic membrane and in the cytosol of vascular endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, and adipocytes. Increased SSAO activity has been found in

Involvement of SSAO-mediated deamination in adipose glucose transport and weight gain in obese diabetic KKAy mice.

Only registered users can translate articles

Semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO) is located on outer surfaces of adipocytes and endothelial and vascular smooth muscle cells. This enzyme catalyzes deamination of methylamine and aminoacetone, leading to production of toxic formaldehyde and methylglyoxal, respectively, as well as

Adiponectin, adiponectin receptors, and epigenetic regulation of adipogenesis.

Only registered users can translate articles

We studied the molecular mechanism of obesity-induced insulin resistance and adipogenesis. Plasma adiponectin and adiponectin receptor (AdipoR1) in muscle are down-regulated in obesity. Analysis of muscle-specific AdipoR1 knockout mice revealed the pivotal role of adiponectin/AdipoR1 in the

Methylamine: a new endogenous modulator of neuron firing?

Only registered users can translate articles

Increasing evidence suggests that not only ammonia, but also its alkyl-derivatives, including methylamine, may modulate neuron firing. Methylamine occurs endogenously from amine catabolism and its tissue levels increase in some pathological conditions, including diabetes. Interestingly, methylamine

A non-heme iron-mediated chemical demethylation in DNA and RNA.

Only registered users can translate articles

DNA methylation is arguably one of the most important chemical signals in biology. However, aberrant DNA methylation can lead to cytotoxic or mutagenic consequences. A DNA repair protein in Escherichia coli, AlkB, corrects some of the unwanted methylations of DNA bases by a unique oxidative

[Interaction of FABP4 with plasma membrane proteins of endothelial cells].

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Fatty acid binding protein (FABP4) is an adipose tissue-secreted adipokine implicated in the regulation of the energetic metabolism and inflammation. High levels of circulating FABP4 have been described in people with obesity, atherogenic dyslipidemia, diabetes and metabolic syndrome.

Building integrated mental health and medical programs for vulnerable populations post-disaster: connecting children and families to a medical home.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Hurricane Katrina, a Category 3 hurricane, made landfall in August 2005. Approximately 1,500 deaths have been directly attributed to the hurricane, primarily in Louisiana and Mississippi. In New Orleans, Louisiana, most of the healthcare infrastructure was destroyed by flooding, and >

Expression of cytokeratins in normal and diseased livers and in primary liver carcinomas.

Only registered users can translate articles

Hepatocytes and bile duct epithelium express several types of cytokeratins, the characteristic intermediate-filament proteins of epithelial cells. The cytokeratin antigen expression was studied in normal and diseased livers, intrahepatic cholangiocarcinomas, and hepatocellular carcinomas by

Elevated serum semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase activity in non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus: correlation with body mass index and serum triglyceride.

Only registered users can translate articles

Previous clinical studies reported elevated semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO) activity in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), but there are not sufficient data about SSAO in non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). The present study was conducted to investigate serum SSAO

[Transmethylation and the redox homeostasis].

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Transmethylation modifies configuration and proceeds via formaldehyde. It has a significant role for example in epigenetic regulation. The whole methyl-pool can be evaluated by the measurement of bound formaldehyde. OBJECTIVE The bound formaldehyde was measured in wheat, bean, beetroot,
