Decreased enzyme activity and contents of hepatic branched-chain alpha-keto acid dehydrogenase complex subunits in a rat model for type 2 diabetes mellitus.

5 Jul 2009 The mitochondrial branched-chain alpha-keto acid dehydrogenase complex (BCKDC) is responsible for the committed step in branched-chain amino acid catabolism. In the present study, we examined BCKDC regulation in Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima Fatty ... Read more...

Stimulation of autophagy by antilipolytic drugs may rescue rodents from age-associated hypercholesterolemia.

30 Mar 2009 Aging is characterized by several metabolic changes responsible for the decline of certain functions and the appearance of age-related diseases, including hypercholesterolemia, which is the main risk factor for atherosclerosis and cardiovascular ... Read more...

Effect of light resistance exercise after ingestion of a high-protein snack on plasma branched-chain amino acid concentrations in young adult females.

30 Mar 2009 We have previously reported the preventive effects of light resistance exercise (voluntary tower climbing exercise) after ingestion of a high-protein snack (HPS) on muscle loss in glucocorticoid-injected rats. However, such studies have not been ... Read more...
