chicken has been used as a suitable model for lipid metabolism studies, because dietary modifications especially dietary fat type can change chicken body composition. fats act as a condense source of energy and certain fatty acids such as polyunsaturated fatty acids (pufas) are required for both animal and human health. the n-3 pufas, especially, eicosapentaenoic acid (epa) and docosahexaenoic ...

This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of different carbohydrate levels on growth performance, glycogen accumulation in tissue, enzyme activities, and expression genes related hepatopancreatic glucose lipid metabolism insulin signaling pathway swimming crab, Portunus trituberculatus for 8 weeks. The results indicated that crabs fed with 60.0 g kg-1 diet exhibited highest final bo...

background and aim: in skeletal muscle, carnitine plays an essential role in the translocation of long-chain fatty-acids into the mitochondrial matrix for subsequent beta-oxidation. despite an abundance of literature describing the basic mechanisms of action of l-carnitine metabolism, there remains some uncertainty regarding the effects of oral l-carnitine supplementation on metabolism and exer...

in this study the uptake and metabolism of adenosine by mitochondria has been investigated. incubation of cem cells mitochondria preparation with [3h] -adenosine showed substantial uptake and metabolism of adenosine. adenosine was both anabolized to amp, adp and atp, and also catabolized to inosine. the highest concentration of metabolites in extracted mitochondria was due to amp. the mitochond...
