(2017-07-18)Being the largest tissue that accounts for 40-50% of overall metabolism in non-obese individuals, skeletal muscle is a modifiable target for reducing the risk of chronic diseases. Resistance exercise induces cell signaling ...

(2012-10-19)The consumption of high-fat hamburger enriched with saturated fatty acids (SFA) and trans-fatty acids (TFA) may increase risk factors for cardiovascular disease, whereas hamburger enriched with monounsaturated fatty acids ...

(2012-02-14)Sterols serve two important biological functions in animals - they act as cellular membrane components, and as the precursor to steroid hormones. Insects require a dietary source of sterol because they cannot synthesize ...

(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)Oxygen balance is very important and tightly regulated in mammals. Under hypoxia, hypoxia inducible factor 1(HIF-1) dimerizes with hypoxia inducible factor 1± (HIF-) and activates expression of several genes. Using a mammalian ...

(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)Cholesterol and fatty acyl-coenzymeA thioesters are signalling molecules with role in regulation of genes involved in lipid and glucose transport and metabolism. The studies described herein focused on three proteins that ...

(2019-08-14)Sterols are crucial membrane components in all eukaryotic cells. Cholesterol is the most common sterol in animals, including insects, and it is the required precursor of the insect steroid hormone that regulates molting ...

Plant phloem sterol content: forms, putative functions, and implications for phloem-feeding insects (Frontiers Media, 2013-09-24)All eukaryotes contain sterols, which serve as structural components in cell membranes, and as precursors for important hormones. Plant vegetative tissues are known to contain mixtures of sterols, but very little is known ...

(2011-10-21)Obesity is associated with greater rates of cardiovascular disease, dyslipidemia and dysfunctional lipid metabolism. Exercise may provide an effective therapeutic tool to ameliorate dyslipidemia. However, how exercise ...

(2011-02-22)The rotavirus NSP4 protein is the first described viral enterotoxin. Abundant data from our laboratory reveals that NSP4 binds both the N- and C-termini of caveolin- 1 (aa2-31 and 161-178, respectively). Yeast two-hybrid ...

The Effect of Plant Sterols on the Growth, Survival, and Sterol Levels in Macrobrachium Rosenbergii (1977)Growth in Macrobrachium rosenbergii was studied using diets in which plant sterol was substituted for cholesterol. Weight changes, mortality, molt cycle, and sterol levels were observed. Results of a study of the effect ...
