oxidation 1.A substance is oxidized if it gains oxygen, loses hydrogen, or loses electrons. 2.A chemical reaction involving loss of electrons. In the human body, oxidation occurs when breathed-in oxygen combines with molecules in food to produce energy, water, and carbon dioxide. ...
Compared to glucose (32 ATP) you can see that there is far more energy stored in a fatty acid. This is because fatty acids are in a more reduced form and thus, they yield 9 kcal/g instead of 4 kcal/g like carbohydrates4. The following animation reviews lipolysis and beta-oxidation. ...
PPARα modulate plasma triglyceride, hepatic fatty acid synthesis and cholesterol concentrations by initiating cellular fatty acid uptake and β-oxidation of fatty acids (Jia et al., 2011). Moreover, of several processes of glucose regulation in the liver, gluconeogenesis is the ...
Substitutions at the histidine were observed to eliminate inflection points in the Pourbaix diagram, which plots peak potential versus pH [112,115]. Studies of H14 mutants showed that the inflection points are due to oxidation-induced pK shifts of the histidine. Fits to the data gave pK values...
PGG has been described to exert its anticancer activity by antioxidation, anti-inflammation, anti-angiogenesis, inhibiting DNA replicative synthesis, arresting cells in G1 and S phase, autophagy-mediated senescence, and inducing apoptosis22. In the present study, we found that PGG is a novel MYC...
The concentration of these groups of fatty acids was not influenced by the used β-glucans, but by their dosage (p=0.018). The type of β-glucan from spent brewer's yeast did not significantly influence the ratio of blood lipid parameters metabolism in rats on atherogenic diet containing 1%...
of ATP production. The most cost effective way producing ATP is via glucose oxidation (ATP/O2= 6.4), since the pathway via free fatty acid beta-oxidation is less efficient (ATP/O2= 5.6). This takes about 11% more O2to produce the same amount of ATP from fatty acids as it does from ...
Step 2: Oxidation of Ammonia amide of 3-hydroxy-11-keto-beta-boswellic acidA solution of ammonia amide of 3-hydroxy-11-keto-beta-boswellic acid [2 g, 0.004264 mol] in 30 mL of MDC was taken in a RB and treated slowly with Jone's reagent (6 mL of Jone's reagent adsorbed with 12...
Intensity of fluorescence was measured. h Chrebp silencing reduces oxidative stress. We incubated 832/13 cells transfected with Chrebp siRNA in 25 mmol/l d-glucose for 48 h, and measured DCFH-DA oxidation. * p < 0.05 compared with cells treated with 2.5 mmol/l d-glucose or ethanol...
Later, a second peroxisomal β-oxidation system was characterized [6]. However, the very-long-chain fatty acids, part of the long-chain class and long-chain dicarboxylic acids, are exclusively processed by the peroxisomal β-oxidation system, whereas other common long-chain fatty acids are ...
