NTCP deficiency in mice protects against obesity and hepatosteatosis

Kristina Schoonjans

Bile acids play a major role in the regulation of lipid and energy metabolism. Here we propose the hepatic bile acid uptake transporter Na+ taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (NTCP) as a target to prolong postprandial bile acid elevations in plasma. R ...

N-acetylaspartate availability is essential for juvenile survival on fat-free diet and determines metabolic health

Johan Auwerx, Dina Hofer

N-acetylaspartate (NAA) is synthesized by aspartate N-acetyltransferase (gene: Nat8l) from acetyl-coenzyme A and aspartate. In the brain, NAA is considered an important energy metabolite for lipid synthesis. However, the role of NAA in peripheral tissues r ...

The role of the transcriptional regulator BCL6 in adipose tissue development and remodeling

Teresa Didonna

The adipose tissue is increasingly recognized for the important role it plays in various diseases and pathological conditions, such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, osteoporosis, cancer, and aging. Despite its long-held reputation for being a ...

Genistein increases the thermogenic program of subcutaneous WAT and increases energy expenditure in mice

Lilia Noriega Lopez, Laura Alejandra Velazquez Villegas

White adipose tissue (WAT) can differentiate into beige adipose tissue by the browning process. Some polyphenols, including isoflavones, particularly genistein, are suggested to increase the expression of browning markers. There is evidence that consumptio ...

Glycogen metabolism is impaired in the brain of male type 2 diabetic Goto‐Kakizaki rats

João Miguel das Neves Duarte, Ana Francisca Leal Silva Soares, Sakura Sophie Nussbaum

Diabetes impacts the central nervous system predisposing to cognitive decline. While glucose is the main source of energy fueling the adult brain, brain glycogen is necessary for adequate neuronal function, synaptic plasticity and memory. In this study, we ...

Mechanistic insights into AMP-activated protein kinase-dependent gene expression

Caterina Collodet

AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a fundamental enzyme that controls energy homeostasis, through orchestrating the cellular response to a reduction in energy availability. Under conditions of cellular energy stress AMPK senses the decrease in ATP leve ...

Neurochemical Modifications in the Hippocampus, Cortex and Hypothalamus of Mice Exposed to Long-Term High-Fat Diet

Ana Francisca Leal Silva Soares, João Miguel das Neves Duarte, Blanca Lizarbe Serra

Metabolic syndrome and diabetes impact brain function and metabolism. While it is well established that rodents exposed to diets rich in saturated fat develop brain dysfunction, contrasting results abound in the literature, likely as result of exposure to ...

Psychotropic drug-induced genetic-epigenetic modulation of CRTC1 gene is associated with early weight gain in a prospective study of psychiatric patients

Johannes Gräff, Jose Vicente Sanchez Mut

Background: Metabolic side effects induced by psychotropic drugs represent a major health issue in psychiatry. CREB-regulated transcription coactivator 1 (CRTC1) gene plays a major role in the regulation of energy homeostasis and epigenetic mechanisms may ...

Alterations of Brain Energy Metabolism in Type 2 Diabetic Goto-Kakizaki Rats Measured In Vivo by (13)C Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy

João Miguel das Neves Duarte, Rolf Gruetter, Sarah Catherine Sonnay

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is associated with deterioration of brain structure and function. Here, we tested the hypothesis that T2D induces a reorganization of the brain metabolic networks that support brain function. For that, alterations of neuronal and glia ...

Evaporation from a small water reservoir: Direct measurements and estimates

Marc Parlange, Shirit Cohen

Summary Knowing the rate of evaporation from surface water resources such as chan¬nels and reservoirs is essential for precise management of the water balance. However, evaporation is difﬁcult to measure experimentally over water surfaces and several tech¬ ...
