Phospholipid transfer protein-deficient mice absorb less cholesterol.
OBJECTIVE Phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP) plays an important role in lipoprotein metabolism and atherosclerosis. PLTP gene knockout (KO) mice show significant reduction of plasma cholesterol levels. Because small intestine is one of the major tissue expressing PLTP, we hypothesize that PLTP deficient small intestine absorbs less cholesterol, thus contributing to the diminishing of choleste...
متن کاملEffects of Inhibition of Serine Palmitoyltransferase (SPT) and Sphingosine Kinase 1 (SphK1) on Palmitate Induced Insulin Resistance in L6 Myotubes
BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to examine the effects of short (2 h) and prolonged (18 h) inhibition of serine palmitoyltransferase (SPT) and sphingosine kinase 1 (SphK1) on palmitate (PA) induced insulin resistance in L6 myotubes. METHODS L6 myotubes were treated simultaneously with either PA and myriocin (SPT inhibitor) or PA and Ski II (SphK1inhibitor) for different time period...

متن کاملResveratrol protects against diet-induced atherosclerosis by reducing low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and inhibiting inflammation in apolipoprotein E-deficient mice
Objective(s):Resveratrol (RES) is a polyphenol compound that has been shown a promising cardioprotective effect. However, some reports have yielded conflicting findings. Herein, we investigated the anti-atherosclerotic effects of RES in apolipoprotein E (apo E)-deficient mice on a high cholesterol diet. Materials and Methods: Firstly, atherosclerosis was induced by feeding a high cholesterol di...
متن کاملSerine palmitoyltransferase inhibitor suppresses HCV replication in a mouse model.
Serine palmitoyltransferase (SPT) is a first-step enzyme in the sphingolipid biosynthetic pathway. Myriocin is an inhibitor of SPT and suppresses replication of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) replicon. However, it is still unknown whether this SPT inhibitor suppresses HCV replication in vivo. We investigated the anti-HCV effect of myriocin against intact HCV using chimeric mice with humanized live...
