- In mammals, the charm of L-arginine occurs through a one's own flesh of cationic amino acid transporters known as CATs (cationic amino acid transporters), the properties of which earmarks of that of the y + amino acid transport system. (fosite.ru)
Acetyl CoA1
- We explore which of these metabolite changes triggers adipose browning by generating eight adipose-selective KO mouse models with loss of ATP-citrate lyase (ACLY), acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1 (ACC1), ACC2, malonyl-CoA decarboxylase (MCD) or FASN, or dual KOs ACLY/FASN, ACC1/FASN, and ACC2/FASN.

Lipolysis1
- Fasting also promotes lipolysis in adipose tissue to release nonesterified fatty acids which are converted into ketone bodies in the liver though mitochondrial oxidation and ketogenesis. (irjs.info)
Increases1
- As activity increases and it begins to pump faster, the cardiac muscles begin to oxidize glucose at a higher rate. (wikipedia.org)
Transporters1
Lipid1
- In order to understand the development of adiposity, it is crucial to identify the factors and mechanisms that regulate the recruitment of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) of the vascular stromal fraction of the adipose tissue and its transformation into lipid-filled adipocytes. (biomedcentral.com)
Hypertrophy2
- An imbalance in glucose intake and energy expenditure has been shown to lead to both adipose cell hypertrophy and hyperplasia, which lead to obesity. (wikipedia.org)
- Therefore, growth of adipose tissue includes the hypertrophy of already existing adipocytes and the proliferation and differentiation of new ones from MSCs. (biomedcentral.com)
Protein4
- The first evidence for this distinct glucose transport protein was provided by David James in 1988. (wikipedia.org)
- Dietary protein is broken down into 20 individual amino acids for absorption. (oncohemakey.com)
- Antidiuretic hormone is a polypeptide with eight amino acids, too small to accurately be called a protein. (50webs.org)
- Sleep disorders are treated using anti-insomnia drugs that target ionotropic and G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), including g -aminobutyric acid (GABA) agonists, melatonin agonists, and orexin receptor antagonists. (vdocuments.mx)
Pathway1
- There are two more important components of this pathway, both depicting the breakdown of cholesterol into bile acid. (smpdb.ca)
Cells and tissues1
- Therefore, we propose that damage to and subsequent release of mtDNA elicits a protective signalling response that enhances nDNA repair in cells and tissues, suggesting that mtDNA is a genotoxic stress sentinel. (regenerativemedicine.net)
Hyperglycemia2
- In leptin-deficient mice, FASN ablation alleviated hepatic steatosis and improved glucose tolerance but exacerbated fed hyperglycemia and liver dysfunction. (bvsalud.org)
- Normally there is an increased blood glucose level just after the meal which is known as postprandial hyperglycemia. (gpatindia.com)
Intracellular1
- It is then transported back into intracellular space, where after its used in 3 different reactions, its derivatives interact with intestinal microflora in the extracellular space to become lithocholyltaurine, lithocholic acid glycine conjugate, and lithocholic acid. (smpdb.ca)
Promotes2
- Also during exercise, contraction of muscles promotes utilization of glucose. (howmed.net)
- Efferocytosis not only prevents tissue necrosis and inflammation caused by secondary necrosis of dying cells, but it also promotes pro-resolving signaling in macrophages, which is essential for tissue resolution and repair following injury or inflammation. (biomed.news)
Carbohydrates1
- Just after the meal which includes a lot of carbohydrates, the level of blood glucose reaches 120-140mg/dl. (gpatindia.com)
Ketogenesis1
- So when we exercise (specifically on an empty stomach), is it accurate to say we burn through our glycogen stores and resort to ketogenesis? (khanacademy.org)
