  1. 1. Characterization of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARa) regulated acyl-CoA thioesterases involved in lipid metabolism

    Författare :Mary C Hunt; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Acyl-CoA thioesterase; acyl-CoA; peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha; coenzyme A; bile acid metabolism; lipid metabolism.;

    Sammanfattning : The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARalpha) is a key nuclear receptor in the control of lipid metabolism. Target genes for PPARalpha include many enzymes involved in the oxidation of fatty acids in mitochondria and peroxisomes. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Immunohepatotoxicity of the persistent environmental pollutants perfluorooctanoate (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS)

    Författare :Mousumi Rahman Qazi; Joe DePierre; Christopher Lau; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Perfluorooctanoate; Perfluorooctane sulfonate; Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha; Hepatomegaly; Immunotoxicity; Thymus; Spleen; Biochemistry; biokemi;

    Sammanfattning : Perfluorooctanoate (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), manufactured for a variety of industrial and consumer applications, are ubiquitous environmental pollutants. Their accumulation in humans and wildlife raises serious health concerns. Here, we examined the potential effects of PFOA and PFOS on the innate immune system in mice. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Cardioprotective mechanisms by inhibition of the HMG-CoA reductase pathway and stimulation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors in myocardial ischaemia-reperfusion

    Författare :Aliaksandr Bulhak; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Endothelial function; endothelin-1; geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate; HMG-CoA reductase; infarct size; ischaemiareperfusion injury; myeloperoxidase; myocardium; nitric oxide; nitric oxide synthase; peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha; -gamma; PPAR-alpha; -gamma-ligands; RhoA; statins.;

    Sammanfattning : Acute myocardial ischaemia causes metabolic changes and results in a rapid decrease in the energy available to the cell. This leads to cell injury that, depending on the length of the ischaemic time, is reversible or irreversible. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Molecular cloning and characterization of the murine acyl-CoA thioesterase CTE-I

    Författare :Per J G Lindquist; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Acyl-CoA thioesterase; acyl-CoA; peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha; fatty acid metabolism;

    Sammanfattning : Mouse cytosolic type I acyl-CoA thioesterase (CTE-I) is a member of the type I family of acylCoA thioesterases. These enzymes hydrolyze acyl-CoAs to non-esterified fatty acids (NEFAs) and Coenzyme A (CoA-SH) and are strongly induced in rodent liver by a diverse group of compounds called peroxisome proliferators.

  7. 5. Novel radiation targets in the endothelium and heart muscle

    Författare :Venkata Ramesh Yentrapalli; Siamak Haghdoost; William F. Morgan; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ionizing radiation; Endothelial cells; Senescence; Cardiovascular disease; Proteomics; molekylärgenetik; Molecular Genetics;

    Sammanfattning : Worldwide, people are being exposed to natural and man-made sources of radiation. Epidemiological studies have shown an increased risk of vascular diseases in populations that have been exposed to ionizing radiation. Vascular endothelium is implicated as one of the targets for radiation leading to the development of cardiovascular diseases. LÄS MER
