Under the Hyperleptinemia condition
PPARα is increased during the rapid loss of fat
An Experiment of PPARα+/+ and PPARα-/- mice
→ Food intake and weight are reduced in both mice
but fat is reduced only in PPARα+/+
Under the Hyperleptinemia condition fat disappears in 7 days without any relation which is about quantity of free FA or ketone
→ Thus WAT is transformed to Fat b
1. 자가면역질환이란?
자기의 장기조직이나 그 성분에 대한 항체가 생산되는 알레르기 질환이다. 면역병 중에서도 그 원인이 명확하지 않아 치료가 곤란한 질환이다. 최근 특히 주목되고 있는 것은 전신성 홍반성 낭창(systemic lupus erythematosus, SLE)으로 환자의 혈액 중에 핵과 그 성분(핵단백질, DNA, RNA,
mechanism of cigarette smoke-induced proinflammatory mediator release via sirtuin-NF-κB RelA/p65 interaction. Cigarette smoke decreased sirtuin levels and caused posttranslational modification by reactive aldehydes/reactive oxygen species/RNS, thereby disrupting SIRT1-RelA/p65 complex via phosphorylation (P) and acetylation (Ac) of RelA/p65. This leads to increased release of pro-inflammatory m
Mechanism
Figure shows the mechanism for GM2 ganglioside degradation by beta-hexosaminidase A.
The GM2 activator protein binds to GM2 ganglioside which is attached to the lysosome's membrane phospholipids.
It then forms a complex with beta-hexosaminidase A by binding to the alpha-subunit.
Once this complex is formed, it can hydrolyze the beta-1,4-linked N-acetylhexosamine residue trans
