Homocysteine suppresses lipolysis in adipocytes by activating the AMPK pathway.
Hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) is an independent risk factor for coronary artery disease. Emerging evidence suggests that HHcy is also associated with adipocyte tissue dysfunction. One of the principal functions of adipose tissue is to provide energy substrate via lipolysis. In the present study, we investigated the effects of homocysteine (Hcy) on lipolysis in adipocytes. We found that Hcy inhibi...
متن کاملDaming capsule restores endothelial dysfunction induced by high-fat diet
BACKGROUND Daming capsule (DMC), a traditional Chinese formula, has a lipid-modulating action with reduced adverse side effects as compared with other lipid lowering compounds. Since endothelial dysfunction often accompanies the hyperlipidemic state, we hypothesize that DMC might restore endothelial dysfunction produced by a high-fat (HF) diet. Importantly, we also investigate possible mechanis...
متن کاملMiltefosine Suppresses Hepatic Steatosis by Activating AMPK Signal Pathway
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE It has been accepted that AMPK (Adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase) activation exhibits many beneficial effects on glucolipid metabolism. Lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) is an important lysophospholipid which can improve blood glucose levels in diabetic mice and attenuate inflammation by activating AMPK signal pathway in macrophages. Synthetic alkylphospholipi...
متن کاملIrisin Lowers Blood Pressure by Improvement of Endothelial Dysfunction via AMPK‐Akt‐eNOS‐NO Pathway in the Spontaneously Hypertensive Rat
BACKGROUND Exercise is a major nonpharmacological treatment for hypertension, but its underlying mechanisms are still not completely elucidated. Irisin, a polypeptide containing 112 amino acids, which is secreted mainly by skeletal muscle cells during exercise, exerts a protective role in metabolic diseases, such as diabetes mellitus and obesity. Because of the close relationship between irisin...
متن کاملVisualizing signalling by phosphoinositide 3-kinase pathway lipids.
Cells signal through lipids produced by phospholipid and phosphoinositide metabolism that involves three enzymic processes: (i) ester and phosphodiester hydrolysis by phospholipases; (ii) monophosphate hydrolysis by phosphatases; and (iii) phosphorylation of hydroxy groups by kinases. Unregulated enzyme activity correlates with specific pathologies, which are specific targets for therapeutic in...
