Genetic factors influencing human serum trehalase activity.
Trehalase (EC Number 3.2.1.28; trehalose 1-glucohydrolase) is an enzyme which splits the disaccharide trehalose (1-a-D-glucopyranosyl-a-Dglucopyranoside) to glucose; and it is widely distributed in both plants and animals. It was first discovered by Bourquelot (1893) in Aspergillus niger and since then has been found in bacteria, fungi, yeast, the serum of certain fishes, and in insects (Kalf a...
متن کاملGenetic Determinants Influencing Human Serum Metabolome among African Americans
Phenotypes proximal to gene action generally reflect larger genetic effect sizes than those that are distant. The human metabolome, a result of multiple cellular and biological processes, are functional intermediate phenotypes proximal to gene action. Here, we present a genome-wide association study of 308 untargeted metabolite levels among African Americans from the Atherosclerosis Risk in Com...
متن کاملTrehalase activity in genetically diabetic mice (serum, kidney, and liver).
Trehalase activity was determined in serum, liver, and kidney in alloxan treated Swiss mice and in homozygous (Ob/Ob, Db/Db) and heterozygous (Ob/+, Db/m+) diabetic mice. Both alloxan and genetic diabetic mice exhibited a large increase in serum and liver trehalase activity with no change in kidney trehalase activity. The heterozygotes (Ob/+, Db/m+) showed only a slight increase of enzyme activ...
متن کاملGenetic factors influencing alcohol dependence.
Plentiful data from both animal and human studies support the importance of genetic influences in substance abuse and dependence (Bierut et al., 1998; Tsuang et al., 1998; Kendler et al., 2003). This review summarizes the evidence supporting such genetic influences, places them into perspective regarding animal and human studies, discusses the importance of both genes and environment, and highl...
متن کاملGenetic and environmental factors influencing human diseases with telomere dysfunction.
Both genetic and environmental factors have been implicated in the mechanism underlying the pathogenesis of serious and fatal forms of human blood disorder (acquired aplastic anemia, AA) and lung disease (idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, IPF). We and other researchers have recently shown that naturally occurring mutations in genes encoding the telomere maintenance complex (telomerase) may predisp...
