Adiponectin oligomers as potential indicators of adipose tissue improvement in obese su... - 0 views

  •  
    adiponectin is known to be associated with obesity.  This study finds that adiponectin levels in the serum and adipose tissue have different associations with obesity.  Also, there are two receptors for adiponectine: ADIPORs.  Serum adiponectin increases with improved cellular metabolism.

    obesity is associated with increased cortisol metabolism.  This would be found in increased urinary metabolites, especially via the 5-allpha reductase pathway.  Increased cortisone to cortisol production occurs via 11 beta-HSD1.  This occurs predominately in adipose tissue.  The thought here is cortisol metabolism is tissue specific and functionally different.

A Six Months Exercise Intervention Influences the Genome-wide DNA Methylation Pattern i... - 0 views

  • In skeletal muscle, HDAC4 has been found to be exported from the nucleus during exercise, suggesting that removal of the transcriptional repressive function could be a mechanism for exercise adaptation [50]. For HDAC4, we observed increased levels of DNA methylation and a simultaneous decrease in mRNA expression in adipose tissue in response to the exercise intervention. Additionally, the functional experiments in cultured adipocytes suggested increased lipogenesis when Hdac4 expression was reduced
  • NCOR2 also exhibited increased levels of DNA methylation and a simultaneous decrease in mRNA expression in adipose tissue in response to the exercise intervention, and furthermore we observed increased lipogenesis when Ncor2 expression was down regulated in the 3T3-L1 cell line. NCOR2 is a nuclear co-repressor, involved in the regulation of genes important for adipogenesis and lipid metabolism, and with the ability to recruit different histone deacetylase enzymes, including HDAC4
  •  
    Study finds 6 month exercise program in men induced epigenetic change via DNA methylation of CPG islands in adipose cells effecting metabolism and altering obesity and type II diabetes risk.  The study looked at 2 genes: HDAC4 and NCOR2 and found that exercise decreased expression via methylation altering adipogenesis and lipid metabolism.

  • oxidative stress can activate the NLRP3 inflammasome, which is a protein complex that plays a key role in the cytokine storm

  • MEB has been shown to inhibit SARS-Cov-2 replication in vitro
  • It has been shown that Covid-19-patients treated with MEB, have a significant reduction in hospital stay duration and mortality
  • MeB is an acceptor-donor molecule
  • MeB + can take a pair of electrons (of H atoms) and MeBH can release this pair easily, so that MeB is partially recycled like a catalyst
  • MeB acts as an electron bridge between a donor (FADH2, FMNH, NADH) and an acceptor (complex IV of ETC or oxygen itself)
  • As a coenzyme of pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH), alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) initiates the formation of acetyl-CoA to feed the TCA cycle
  • ALA enhances the catabolism of carbon. cycle and therefore may reduce the Warburg effect and consequently, lactate production
  • Methylene Blue plays a similar role after the TCA cycle, by carrying electrons to complex IV of the electron transport chain
  • Drugs such as lipoic acid and MeB, which target the metabolism, decrease the redox shift by increasing catabolism

  • Recent cumulating evidence suggests that obesity may represent an adverse health consequence of exposure during the critical developmental windows to environmental chemicals disrupting endocrine function. Moreover, exposure to these chemicals seems to play a key role in the development of obesity-related metabolic and cardiovascular diseases.
