  1. 1. Plants as Factories for Insect Pheromone Production : Deciphering and Reconstructing Sex Pheromone Biosynthetic Pathways of Female Moths

    Författare :Yihan Xia; Funktionell zoologi; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Pheromones biosynthesis; desaturases; elongases; reductases; plant factories;

    Sammanfattning : Compared to other organisms in which the fatty acyl desaturases (FADs) are mostly involved in normal cellular lipid metabolism, moth FADs have evolved extent functions in the biosynthesis of sex pheromones. Female moths releasespecies-specific sex pheromones to attract conspecific males over a long distance for mating. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Fatty Acid Desaturase Activities in Metabolic Syndrome and Cardiovascular Disease : Special Reference to Stearoyl-CoA-Desaturase and Biomarkers of Dietary Fat

    Författare :Eva Warensjö; Ulf Risérus; Bengt Vessby; Tommy Cederholm; David Laaksonen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Nutrition; Fatty acids; Dietary fat; Biomarker; Metabolic Syndrome; Mortality; Obesity; Insulin Sensitivity; Epidemiology; Estimated desaturase activities; Stearoyl-CoA-desaturase; delta-6-desaturase; delta-5-desaturase; Single Nucleotide Polymorphism; Dietary Intervention; Rapeseed oil; Saturated fat; SCD1; Näringslära;

    Sammanfattning : The development of the metabolic syndrome (MetS) and cardiovascular diseases have been suggested to be influenced more by the quality than the amount of dietary fat. The FA composition of serum lipids may be used as biomarkers of dietary fat quality. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Evolution of Membrane Bound Proteins and their Ligands : The Melanocortin (MC) Receptor Inverse Agonists AgRP2, ASIP2, Drug/Metabolite Transporters, and SPNS1

    Författare :Åke Västermark; Helgi Schiöth; Arne Elofsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Integral membrane proteins play a key role hormonal and neuronal signaling. Transmembrane helix (TM) proteins form about 27% of the human proteome. Furthermore, 44% of the human drug targets are receptors, and 19% of these are seven-transmembrane domain receptors (GPCRs), which constitute 4% of the entire protein-coding genome. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Elovl3 and very long chain fatty acids; role in metabolism

    Författare :Andreas Jakobsson; Anders Jacobsson; James Ntambi; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Fatty acids metabolism elongation; Physiology; Fysiologi;

    Sammanfattning : Fatty acids (FA) are important in several aspects of cellular function, for example as structural molecules and metabolic substrates. The bulk of FA up to 16 carbons (palmitic acid) in length are synthesised by a cytosolic enzyme complex called fatty acid synthase (FAS), while FA can be further elongated into very long-chain fatty acids (VLCFA) by membrane-bound enzymes in the endoplasmatic reticulum (ER).
