This chapter discusses the role of enzymes in carbohydrate metabolism and related biological processes. The chapter discusses how a number of enzymes can act together to carry out an integrated and complicated process. In an intact biological system there are several ways in which the reduced ...
Answer to: Briefly describe the role of enzymes during the regulation of metabolism, and provide the basic characteristics of these enzymes. By...
Genetic toxicology of flavonoids: The role of metabolic conditions in the induction of reverse mutation, SOS functions and sister-chromatid exchanges While in the Ames assay the mutagenicity of quercetin is enhanced by the presence of rat liver microsomal enzymes (S9) or the respective cytosolic frac...

of enzymes known as dihydroceramide synthases. In addition, alterations in ceramide synthesis, trafficking and metabolism in specific cellular compartments exert distinct consequences on metabolic homeostasis. Here, we examine the emerging concept of how the intracellular localization of ceramides with ...
A constant metabolism and energy supply are crucial to all organs, particularly the brain. Age-dependent neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson’s disease (PD), are associated with alterations in cellular metabolism. These changes have been recogn
However, more in-depth studies showed this viewpoint to be too one-sided. Emerging evidence suggests that lysosomes may also be the cellular center for intracellular transport (Fig. 1), signaling (Fig. 2), and metabolism. Fig. 1 Lysosomes play a crucial role in intracellular transport. ...
The primary enzymes involved in alcohol metabolism are alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH). Both enzymes occur in several forms that are encoded by different genes; moreover, there are variants (i.e., alleles) of some of these genes that encode enzymes with different ...
In particular, metabolism is drastically altered in osteoarthritis (OA) and aberrant immunometabolism may be a key feature of many phenotypes of OA. This Review focuses on aberrant metabolism in the pathogenesis of OA, summarizing the current state of knowledge on the role of impaired metabolism in...
CA, USA and 6US Department of Energy, Joint Genome Institute, Walnut Creek, CA, USA The trace element selenium (Se) is required for the biosynthesis of selenocysteine (Sec), the 21st amino acid in the genetic code, but its role in the ecology of harmful algal blooms (HABs) is unknown....
