(2011-08-08)An integrative biophysical and bioanalytical approach to studying the Fe distribution in isolated mitochondria was developed. This procedure involved large-scale growths, the inclusion of a chelator in isolation buffers ...
-
(2013-08-30)The speciation of iron in intact Jurkat cells and their isolated mitochondria was assessed using biophysical methods. [Fe4S4]^(2+) clusters, low-spin (LS) Fe^(II) heme centers, non-heme high-spin (NHHS) FeII species, ...
-
(2012-07-16)Hydrolysis of dietary lipids to free fatty acids (FFA) is a prerequisite for ruminal biohydrogenation, a bacterially mediated process that extensively saturates unsaturated FFAs thus limiting the absorption and ultimate ...
-
(2010-07-14)Ecophysiological responses of Litopenaeus vannamei were evaluated as functions of 1) salinity and animal size, 2) temperature and the animal's nutritive state, and 3) dissolved-oxygen concentration and animal size. Growth ...
-
(2012-04-26)Protein kinases are enzymes which phosphorylate other proteins and often play critical regulatory roles in cellular metabolism. We studied the effects of deletion of the TDA1 gene in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. TDA1 encodes ...
-
(2008-05-21)When prototrophic yeast cells undergo continuous growth in nutrient-limited conditions, they experience robust metabolic oscillations. Additionally, the processes of metabolism in yeast cells have been shown to be coordinated ...
-
(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 ...
-
(2019-10-21)Lignin is the most abundant renewable aromatic in the world that has great potential as a sustainable source of monomeric units for the production of bioplastics. However, the chemical and biological processing of lignin ...
-
(2019-05-15)Terpenes and terpenoids have a vast array of applications for human use as fuels, specialty chemicals, nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals, and food and fragrance additives. In plants, terpene production is limited and highly ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)Heart-type Fatty Acid-Binding Protein (H-FABP) is required for high rates of skeletal muscle long chain fatty acid (LCFA) oxidation and esterification. Here we assessed whether H-FABP affects soleus muscle glucose uptake ...
-
(2017-06-24)The purpose of this study was to retrospectively determine the influence of genetic profiling on diet type and exercise for weight loss, body composition, and biomarkers of metabolic health in previously sedentary women. ...
-
(2022-12-07)Bacterial cell morphology plays important roles in nutrient absorption, cell growth, and pathogenesis, so understanding the determinants of morphology has the potential to significantly improve bioproduction, drug design ...
-
(2010-07-14)The longstanding view has been that metabolism allows for cell division to take place, but that metabolic processes do not actively promote cell division. I have recently challenged this notion by identifying a unique ...
-
(2020-04-30)Normal physiological or developmental processes, including invasion, proliferation, metabolic reprogramming, and apoptotic escape, are often hijacked in malignant states to drive disease occurrence or progression. As ...
-
(2014-08-06)Aging has been a subject of interest throughout history. Scientific studies have focused on lifespan regulation, but ignored many other aspects of aging such as behavioral decline. Research using the model organism C. ...
-
(2011-08-04)Metabolic disorders, including obesity and fatty acid oxidation disorders (FODs), occur in approximately 34% of the American population and in 1 in every 10,000 Americans, respectively (19, 55). Melanocortin-5 receptor ...
-
(2009-05-15)Maintaining thermal balance is essential for all homeotherms but can be especially challenging for pinnipeds which must regulate over a variety of ambient temperatures and habitats as part of their life history. Young ...
-
(2021-11-23)Roughly half of eukaryotic mRNAs cycle in abundance under control of the circadian clock, with some mRNAs peaking in levels during the day, and other mRNAs peaking in levels during the night. While phase regulation is ...
-
(2021-01-13)The control of cell metabolism is intimately linked to the size and shape of mitochondria, which varies significantly across cell types. Mitochondria can elongate (fuse) with other nearby mitochondria, or they can fragment ...
-
(2013-07-15)Programmed cell death (PCD) is a fundamentally important process delicately coordinated throughout an organism’s life cycle. In plants, PCD is an integral part of development, reproduction, and pathogenesis. Numerous types ...
