EFFECTS OF LIPOIC ACID ON HIGH-FAT DIET-INDUCED ALTERATION OF SYNAPTIC PLASTICITY AND BRAIN GLUCOSE METABOLISM: A PET/CT AND 13C-NMR STUDY

Effects of Lipoic Acid on High-Fat Diet-Induced Alteration of Synaptic Plasticity and Brain Glucose Metabolism: A PET/CT and 13C-NMR Study

Abstract High-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity is accompanied by insulin resistance and compromised Ladder brain synaptic plasticity through the impairment of insulin-sensitive pathways regulating neuronal survival, learning, and memory.Lipoic acid is known to modulate the redox status of the cell and has insulin mimetic effects.This study was aimed

Myosin Light Chains in the Progression of Cancer

The myosin light chains (MLCs) of non-muscle myosin II are known to regulate cellular architecture and generate cellular forces; they also have an increasingly emerging role in the progression of cancer.The phosphorylation state of the myosin Safari Hat light chains controls the activity of myosins that are implicated in invasion and proliferation.
