Combined interleukin-6 and interleukin-1 deficiency causes obesity in young mice.
Proinflammatory cytokines including interleukin (IL)-1 and IL-6 exert pleiotropic effects on the neuro-immuno-endocrine system. Previously, we showed that IL-1 receptor antagonist-deficient (IL-1Ra(-/-)) mice show a lean phenotype due to an abnormal lipid metabolism. On the contrary, it was reported that IL-6(-/-) mice exhibit obesity after 6 months of age. This study sought to assess the roles...
متن کاملArap1 Deficiency Causes Photoreceptor Degeneration in Mice
Purpose Small guanosine triphosphatase (GTPase) ADP-ribosylation factors (Arfs) regulate membrane traffic and actin reorganization under the control of GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs). Arap1 is an Arf-directed GAP that inhibits the trafficking of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) to the early endosome, but the diversity of its functions is incompletely understood. The aim of this study ...
متن کاملVitamin D deficiency and secondary hyperparathyroidism in pediatrics obesity
Obesity is one of the health problems in the developing and developed countries. Obesity subjects the individuals with metabolic and endocrine disorders. It is obvious that vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency may lead to secondary hyperparathyroidism. Thus, obesity increases the risk of vitamin D deficiency. Considering the high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in children and adolescents w...
متن کاملAgpat6 deficiency causes subdermal lipodystrophy and resistance to obesity.
Triglyceride synthesis in most mammalian tissues involves the sequential addition of fatty acids to a glycerol backbone, with unique enzymes required to catalyze each acylation step. Acylation at the sn-2 position requires 1-acylglycerol-3-phosphate O-acyltransferase (AGPAT) activity. To date, seven Agpat genes have been identified based on activity and/or sequence similarity, but their physiol...
متن کاملBiglycan deficiency causes spontaneous aortic dissection and rupture in mice.
BACKGROUND For the majority of cases, the cause of spontaneous aortic dissection and rupture is unknown. An inherited risk is associated with Marfan syndrome, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type IV, and loci mapped to diverse autosomal chromosomes. Analysis of pedigrees however has indicated that it may be also inherited as an X-linked trait. The biglycan gene, found on chromosome X in humans and mice,...
