Regulation of autotaxin expression and secretion by lysophosphatidate and sphingosine 1-phosphate
Download2015
Zhao, Yuan Y., McMullen,Todd P. W. , Brindley, David N., Curtis, Jonathan M., Benesch, Matthew G. K.
Autotaxin (ATX) is a secreted enzyme, which produces extracellular lysophosphatidate (LPA) from lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC). LPA activates six G protein-coupled receptors and this is essential for vasculogenesis during embryonic development. ATX is also involved in wound healing and...

Rumen microbial community composition varies with diet and host, but a core microbiome is found across a wide geographical range
Download2015
Cox, Faith, Janssen, Peter H., Henderson, Gemma, Jonker, Arjan, Young, Wayne, Ganesh, Siva
Ruminant livestock are important sources of human food and global greenhouse gas emissions. Feed degradation and methane formation by ruminants rely on metabolic interactions between rumen microbes and affect ruminant productivity. Rumen and camelid foregut microbial community composition was...

Small intestine early innate immunity response during intestinal colonization by Escherichia coli depends on its extra-intestinal virulence status
Download2016
Denamur, Erick, Tourret, Jérôme, Dion, Sara, Willing, Benjamin P., Wachtel, Sarah, Finlay, B. Brett, Dufour, Nicolas, Croxen, Matthew A.
Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) strains live as commensals in the digestive tract of the host, but they can also initiate urinary tract infections. The aim of this work was to determine how a host detects the presence of a new UPEC strain in the digestive tract. Mice were orally challenged...

The characterization of mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT) in clonal pancreatic beta cells: Multiple modes and regulation
Download2004
Chan, Catherine B., Bikopoulos, George, Koshkin, Vasilij, Wheeler, Michael B.
Mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT), which contributes substantially to the regulation of normal mitochondrial metabolism, also plays a crucial role in the initiation of cell death. It is known that MPT is regulated in a tissue-specific manner. The importance of MPT in the pancreatic...

Transport and reaction processes in bioremediation of organic contaminants. 1. Review of bacterial degradation and transport
Download2003-01-01
Bressler, David C., Gray, Murray R.
Bioremediation of contaminants in soil and water involves a complex interplay between transport processes and biological reactions. Equilibrium physical factors such as aqueous solubility, soil adsorption, and phase partitioning indicate the transport processes that can limit bioremediation,...

Understanding postprandial inflammation and its relationship to lifestyle behaviour and metabolic diseases
Download2012
Cabezas, Manuel C., Mamo, John C., Proctor, Spencer D., Botham, Kathleen M., Klop, Boudewijn
Postprandial hyperlipidemia with accumulation of remnant lipoproteins is a common metabolic disturbance associated with atherosclerosis and vascular dysfunction, particularly during chronic disease states such as obesity, the metabolic syndrome and, diabetes. Remnant lipoproteins become attached...

Vaccenic and elaidic acid modify plasma and splenocyte membrane phospholipids and mitogen-stimulated cytokine production in obese insulin resistant JCR:LA-cp rats
Download2010
Ruth, Megan R., Reaney, Martin J., Vine, Donna F., Goruk, Susan, Yu, Howe-Ming, Field, Catherine J., Proctor, Spencer D., Wang, Ye
This study assessed the long-term effects of dietary vaccenic acid (VA) and elaidic acid (EA) on plasma and splenocyte phospholipid (PL) composition and related changes in inflammation and splenocyte phenotypes and cytokine responses in obese/insulin resistant JCR:LA-cp rats. Relative to lean...
