Effects of Teucrium polium aerial parts extracts on malonyl-CoA decarboxylase level
Malonyl-CoA decarboxylase (MCD) is an enzyme involved in the decarboxylation of malonyl-CoA to acetyl-CoA. In order to explore the hypothesis that the changing plant materials’ MCD activity level can serve as therapy to diabetics, the effect of Teucrium polium compounds was studied in a diabetic rat model. In this experimental study, two groups of rats, a control and a diabetic group, each incl...
متن کاملRat malonyl-CoA decarboxylase; cloning, expression in E. coli and its biochemical characterization.
Malonyl-CoA decarboxylase (E.C.4.1.1.9) catalyzes the conversion of malonyl-CoA to acetyl-CoA. Although the metabolic role of this enzyme has not been fully defined, it has been reported that its deficiency is associated with mild mental retardation, seizures, hypotonia, cadiomyopathy, developmental delay, vomiting, hypoglycemia, metabolic acidosis, and malonic aciduria. Here, we isolated a cDN...
متن کاملMolecular cloning, nucleotide sequence, and tissue distribution of malonyl-CoA decarboxylase.
Malonyl-CoA decarboxylase was purified from goose uropygial gland, reduced, carboxymethylated, and digested with trypsin. Several peptides were purified by high performance liquid chromatography and their amino acid sequences determined. Oligonucleotide probes were prepared based on their amino acid sequences. Size-selected RNA from the goose uropygial gland was used to construct cDNA libraries...
متن کاملPeroxisomal-proliferator-activated receptor alpha activates transcription of the rat hepatic malonyl-CoA decarboxylase gene: a key regulation of malonyl-CoA level.
MCD (malonyl-CoA decarboxylase), which catalyses decarboxylation of malonyl-CoA, is known to play an important role in the regulation of malonyl-CoA concentration. Recently, it has been observed that the expression of MCD is significantly decreased in the hearts of the PPARalpha (peroxisome-proliferator-activated receptor alpha) (-/-) mice, where the rate of fatty-acid oxidation is decreased by...
متن کاملRegulation of malonyl-CoA concentration and turnover in the normal heart.
The goal of this study was to test the relationship between malonyl-CoA concentration and its turnover measured in isolated rat hearts perfused with NaH(13)CO(3). This turnover is a direct measurement of the flux of acetyl-CoA carboxylation in the intact heart. It also reflects the rate of malonyl-CoA decarboxylation, i.e. the only known fate of malonyl-CoA in the heart. Conditions were selecte...
