Lactate's behavioral switch in the brain: An in-silico model

Author(s): Soltanzadeh M; Blanchard S; Soucy JP; Benali H;

Emerging evidence emphasizes lactate's involvement in both physiological processes (energy metabolism, memory, etc.) and disease (traumatic brain injury, epilepsy, etc.). Furthermore, the usefulness of mathematical modeling in deciphering underlying dynamics of the brain to investigate lactate roles and mechanisms of action has been well established. ...

The Adr1 transcription factor directs regulation of the ergosterol pathway and azole resistance in Candida albicans

Author(s): Shrivastava M; Kouyoumdjian GS; Kirbizakis E; Ruiz D; Henry M; Vincent AT; Sellam A; Whiteway M;

Transcription factors (TFs) play key roles in cellular regulation and are critical in the control of drug resistance in the fungal pathogen Candida albicans. We found that activation of the transcription factor C4_02500C_A (Adr1) conferred significant resistance against fluconazole. In Saccharomy ...

The Sugar Metabolic Model of Aspergillus niger Can Only Be Reliably Transferred to Fungi of Its Phylum

Author(s): Li J; Chroumpi T; Garrigues S; Kun RS; Meng J; Salazar-Cerezo S; Aguilar-Pontes MV; Zhang Y; Tejomurthula S; Lipzen A; Ng V; Clendinen CS; Tolic N; Grigoriev IV; Tsang A; Mäkelä MR; Snel B; Peng M; de Vries RP;

Fungi play a critical role in the global carbon cycle by degrading plant polysaccharides to small sugars and metabolizing them as carbon and energy sources. We mapped the well-established sugar metabolic network of Aspergillus niger to five taxonomically distant species (Aspergillus nidulans, Pen ...

Sperm histone H3 lysine 4 tri-methylation serves as a metabolic sensor of paternal obesity and is associated with the inheritance of metabolic dysfunction

Author(s): Anne-Sophie Pepin

CONCLUSIONS: Our data suggest sperm H3K4me3 might serve as a metabolic sensor that connects paternal diet with offspring phenotypes via the placenta. This non-DNA-based knowledge of inheritance has the potential to improve our understanding of how environment shapes heritability and may lead to novel routes for the prevention of disease. This study highli ...

Bioinspired facilitation of intrinsically conductive polymers: Mediating intra/extracellular electron transfer and microbial metabolism in denitrification

Author(s): Guo T; Lu C; Chen Z; Song Y; Li H; Han Y; Hou Y; Zhong Y; Guo J;

Intrinsically conductive polymers, polyaniline and polyaniline sulfonate (PASAni) were used to explore their effect on denitrification. Denitrification was accelerated 1.90 times by 2 mM PASAni and the possible mechanisms were mainly attributed to the accelerated electron transfer and the enhanced microbial metabolism activity. Intracellular electron tran ...

Ghrelin receptor signalling is not required for glucocorticoid-induced obesity in female mice

Author(s): Silver Z; Abbott-Tate S; Hyland L; Sherratt F; Woodside B; Abizaid A;

Chronic exposure to high circulating glucocorticoid or ghrelin concentrations increases food intake, weight gain and adiposity, suggesting that ghrelin could contribute to the metabolic effects of chronic glucocorticoids. In male mice, however, blocking ghrelin receptor (GHSR) signalling increased the weight gain and adiposity induced by chronic corticost ...

Caloric restriction creates a metabolic pattern of chronological aging delay that in budding yeast differs from the metabolic design established by two other geroprotectors

Author(s): Mohammad K; Titorenko VI;

Caloric restriction and the tor1? mutation are robust geroprotectors in yeast and other eukaryotes. Lithocholic acid is a potent geroprotector in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Here, we used liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry method of non-targeted metabolomics to compare the effects of these three geroprotectors on the intracellular m ...

Acetyl-CoA regulation, OXPHOS integrity and leptin level are different in females with different onsets of obesity.

Author(s): Tam BT, Murphy J, Khor N, Morais JA, Santosa S

Although childhood-onset obesity (CO) and adult-onset obesity (AO) are known to lead to distinctive clinical manifestations and disease risks, the fundamental differences between them are largely unclear. The aim of the current study is to investigate the fundamental differences between subcutaneous adipose tissue from CO and AO and identify metabolic dif ...

Plasma levels of one-carbon metabolism nutrients in women with anorexia nervosa

Author(s): Burdo J; Booij L; Kahan E; Thaler L; Israël M; Agellon LB; Nitschmann E; Wykes L; Steiger H;

Objective: People who are ill with anorexia nervosa (AN) show altered availability of key plasma nutrients. However, little is known about the patterning of alterations that occurs across diverse nutrients during active phases of illness or about the persistence of any such alterations following ...
