MODULATING CYTOCHROME P450-MEDIATED ARACHIDONIC ACID METABOLISM AS A POTENTIAL NEW TREATMENT MODALITY FOR CARDIAC HYPERTROPHY
DownloadSpring 2017
El-Sherbeni, Ahmed Abd El-Hakeem
Arachidonic acid (AA) metabolism has long been a very appealing target for drug discovery and development efforts. Beside cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase pathways, AA is also metabolized by the recently recognized cytochrome P450 (P450) pathway, forming several biologically-active...

Nutritional Factors Impacting Intestinal Lipid Metabolism Using a Model of Low Birth Weight Swine
DownloadSpring 2018
Introduction: Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as obesity, type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) are increasing at an alarming rate globally. A common feature in these conditions is increased adiposity leading to insulin resistance (IR). Dyslipidemia is a major contributing...
