Lipid transport between and within organelles is poorly understood, but a growing number of genes that are involved in these processes have been unambiguously identified, and their mechanisms of action are under active investigation. There is clear evidence that several lipids are transported between or...
When we consume fats (also called lipids) in our diet, they can be metabolized or stored to provide energy for the body. But they are also involved in regulating the genes expressed within—and the signaling between—cells. Lipids influence how our cells behave and function, which affects man...
Lipid lowering agents. How important are they in secondary prevention of coronary heart disease? BACKGROUND: Coronary heart disease (CHD) is still the single major cause of death in our community despite the dramatic decline in prevalence over the past... DM Colquhoun - 《Australian Family Physic...
Of these factors, fermentable carbohydrates, which are commonly found in sweetened foodstuffs, have been identified as particularly important dietary contributors to dental caries14. Consumption of sweetened foodstuffs can rapidly increase the concentration of carbohydrates in the oral cavity, leading to a ...
How does cortisol affect lipid metabolism? Explain how peptide hormones and steroid hormones affect the metabolism of the cell. What is the relationship between enzymes and metabolism? How are enzymes involved in digestion? Explain how enzymes help to control metabolism in living organisms. Be sure ...
These adaptive responses should be reflected in the alterations of different metabolites after exposure to Cu-toxicity. Metabolomics provides a powerful tool for simultaneous analysis of many small molecular metabolites in plants. Because they are the final products of gene expression, the alterations of...
How are enzymes produced in the stomach? (a) When are carbohydrates good for us? What are good versus bad carbohydrates? When are they not good for us or our bodies? (b) What chemistry is involved in their breakdown, usage, and storage?
The researchers focused their effort on a transcription factor called HNF4-Alpha, which is known to regulate genes involved in lipid metabolism and genes that respond tomicrobes. "We thought that it might represent an interface or a crossroads between interpreting information that comes from either ...
Many drugs are metabolized in the liver through the microsomal metabolizing system. a. What specific enzymes are involved in this metabolism? b. What are the main functions of these enzymes? c. What are some factors that can contribute to individual dr What is the...
Not only do the good monounsaturated fats in almonds have an effect on insulin levels, say scientists, but also give dieters a feeling of fullness, meaning that they are less likely to overeat. So stock your pantry with almonds, walnuts, and nut butter. Eat whole foods The smoothie ...
