BACKGROUND
We have identified the acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylase beta gene (ACACB) as a strong susceptibility gene to diabetic nephropathy in individuals with type 2 diabetes. To elucidate the mechanism by which ACACB contributes to conferring susceptibility to diabetic nephropathy, we examined the
A recent study reported a significant association between the T-allele in intron 18 of the acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylase beta (ACACB) gene (C>T polymorphism) and nephropathy caused by diabetes mellitus (DM). Considering the involvement of chronic inflammation in the pathophysiology of DM, the
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
We hypothesized that the reduction in liver fat accumulation known to occur with exercise training in ovariectomized (Ovx) rats is associated with reduced expression of genes involved in lipogenesis while favoring the expression of transcription factors regulating lipid oxidation. We also tested the
Chronic consumption of unhealthy diet and sedentary lifestyle induces fatty liver and metabolic complications. Adipocytes get overloaded with lipid succeeding low-grade inflammation and disrupting adipokine release. This research aims to investigate the effect of sitagliptin on white adipose tissue
Alcoholic and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis are characterized by fatty liver plus inflammation. It is generally believed that steatosis promotes inflammation, whereas inflammation in turn aggregates steatosis. Thus, we hypothesized the deletion of interleukin (IL)-10, a key anti-inflammatory
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
Chronic heart failure affects myocardial energy metabolism and cardiac function. Puerarin has been reported to improve cardiac function through regulation of energy metabolism in mice with myocardial infarction. The aim of the current study was to determine whether puerarin can improve body weight
Joint mobilization is known to be beneficial in osteoarthritis (OA) patients. This study aimed to investigate the effect of stretching on adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activity and its role in modulating inflammation in rabbit synovial fibroblasts. Uniaxial stretching of
A promising approach for the treatment of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is the inhibition of enhanced hepatic de novo lipogenesis (DNL), which is the synthesis of fatty acids from nonlipid sources. This study assesses three approaches to DNL suppression in a newly developed dietary NASH
BACKGROUND
Obesity induces steatosis and increases oxidative stress, as well as chronic inflammation in the liver. The balance between lipogenesis and lipolysis is disrupted in obese animals. At a cellular level, the changes in metabolic sensors and energy regulators are poorly understood. We
Background and Purpose- Cerebral ischemic stroke elicits profound responses of CD4+ T cells, which in turn significantly affect the ischemic brain injury. ACC1 (acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase 1) is a key enzyme that has been recently found to propagate CD4+ T cell-associated
NDI-010976, an allosteric inhibitor of acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylases (ACC) ACC1 and ACC2, reduces hepatic de novo lipogenesis (DNL) and favorably affects steatosis, inflammation, and fibrosis in animal models of fatty liver disease. This study was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled,
Context: The antiobesity effect of dietary calcium by preventing fat accumulation and weight gain was well established from several epidemiological and animal studies.Objective: To evaluate the effect of dietary calcium against obesity-associated with renal injury in high fat diet
Hunt et al. show that olumacostat glasaretil, an inhibitor of acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase, reduces saturated and monounsaturated fatty acyl chains in sebaceous lipids. Topical olumacostat glasaretil application decreases hamster ear sebaceous gland size and shows efficacy in treating patients with
