Endocrinology. 2003 Jun;144(6):2404-8. In vitro inhibition of insulin-degrading enzyme by long-chain fatty acids and their coenzyme A thioesters. Hamel FG, Upward JL, Bennett RG. Insulin-degrading enzyme is responsible for initiating insulin degradation in cells, but little is known about the factors controlling its activity. Because obesity and high levels of free fatty acids decrease insulin [...]
Aquaculture Volume 290, Issues 1–2, 4 May 2009, Pages 122–131 Physiological roles of fatty acyl desaturases and elongases in marine fish: Characterisation of cDNAs of fatty acyl Δ6 desaturase and elovl5 elongase of cobia (Rachycentron canadum) Xiaozhong Zheng, Zhaokun Ding, Youqing Xu, Oscar Monroig, Sofia Morais, Douglas R. Tocher In the present paper, we investigated [...]
The estrogenic effects of bisphenol A (BPA) create a potential model of estrogen’s harm of mother and fetus. Arch Toxicol. 2006 Oct;80(10):647-55. Epub 2006 Apr 8. Toxicokinetics of bisphenol A in pregnant DA/Han rats after single i.v. application. Moors S, Diel P, Degen GH. Bisphenol A (BPA) is an important chemical in the production of [...]
Am J Clin Nutr. 2000 Aug;72(2 Suppl):573S-8S. Serotonin and central nervous system fatigue: nutritional considerations. Davis JM, Alderson NL, Welsh RS. Fatigue from voluntary muscular effort is a complex phenomenon involving the central nervous system (CNS) and muscle. An understanding of the mechanisms within muscle that cause fatigue has led to the development of nutritional [...]
Diabetes Care. 2007 Jun;30(6):1406-11. Epub 2007 Mar 23. Orange juice or fructose intake does not induce oxidative and inflammatory response. Ghanim H, Mohanty P, Pathak R, Chaudhuri A, Sia CL, Dandona P. OBJECTIVE: We have previously shown that 300 kcal from glucose intake induces a significant increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and nuclear [...]
Am J Clin Nutr. 2000 Jun;71(6):1536-44. The bovine protein alpha-lactalbumin increases the plasma ratio of tryptophan to the other large neutral amino acids, and in vulnerable subjects raises brain serotonin activity, reduces cortisol concentration, and improves mood under stress. Markus CR, Olivier B, Panhuysen GE, Van Der Gugten J, Alles MS, Tuiten A, Westenberg HG, [...]
The American Journal of Cardiology (May 1969), 23 (5), pg. 719-722 Sensitization by corn oil for the production of cardiac necroses by various steroids and sodium salts Hans Selye; Árpád Somogyi; Gaston Côté In the rat, the production of extensive and usually fatal myocardial necroses by fluorocortisol or desoxycorticosterone in combination with Na2HPO4 is greatly [...]
At birth, the baby’s mitochondria contain a phospholipid, cardiolipin, containing palmitic acid, but as the baby eats foods containing polyunsaturated fatty acids, the palmitic acid in cardiolipin is replaced by the unsaturated fats. As the cardiolipin becomes more unsaturated, it becomes less stable, and less able to support the activity of the crucial respiratory enzyme, [...]
Adv Shock Res. 1981;6:93-105. Essential fatty acid deficient rats: a new model for evaluating arachidonate metabolism in shock. Cook JA, Wise WC, Knapp DR, Halushka PV. Essential fatty acid deficient (EFAD) rats are significantly more resistant to the lethal effects of S. enteritidis endotoxin (20 mg/kg, IV) than normal control rats. Compared to endotoxin-treated normal [...]
J Am Geriatr Soc. 1976 Jul;24(7):301-7. Free radical theory of aging: effect of dietary fat on central nervous system function. Harman D, Hendricks S, Eddy DE, Seibold J. Free radical reactions have been implicated in aging. A rise in the level of random free radical reactions in a biologic system might have a greater effect [...]
