The Influence of Diet-Induced Obesity and N-3 Fatty Acids on the Cardiac Mitochondrial Phospholipidome and Respiratory Activity
(East Carolina University, 2017-08-16)
Cardiac mitochondrial phospholipids, notably cardiolipin (CL), regulate inner mitochondrial membrane (IMM) organization and protein function, particularly the enzymes associated with respiration. In a range of metabolic ...
NMR method for monitoring changes in the core of lipoprotein particles in metabolism and disease
(2017-01-14)
A method is disclosed for measuring the properties of protein and lipoprotein elements in a sample. The method includes the of placing a small volume of a sample into a NMR instrument tuned to measure a particular nucleus, ...
A QUEST FOR ARTICULAR CARTILAGE PROGENITOR CELLS LEADS TO TEMPORAL REGULATION OF HYALURONAN REQUIRED FOR 3T3-L1 ADIPOGENESIS
(East Carolina University, 2017-07-13)
During embryogenesis, mesenchymal progenitor cells exhibit hyaluronan-dependent pericellular matrices as a major component of the extracellular matrix. As connective tissues form by cellular condensations, there is a loss ...
Neurotransmitter Metabolism by Monoamine Oxidase in Porcine Heart Differs by Location and is Increased with Obesity/Metabolic Syndrome
(East Carolina University, 2017-05-05)
Monoamine Oxidase (MAO), an outer mitochondrial enzyme, catalyzes the oxidative deamination of catecholamines and other biological amines, and in the process, produces a reactive aldehyde and H2O2. Our lab has recently ...
THE ROLE OF N6-METHYLADENOSINE IN HYPOXIA AND CELLULAR TRANSFORMATION
(East Carolina University, 2017-11-29)
Cancer is a prevalent disease that affects millions of people each year across the globe. In an effort to find therapies to the many types of cancers, regulation of protein expression through transcription and translation ...
