Application

Aurothioglucose hydrate has been used in redox stress survival assay in human cell lines and for inducing obese phenotype in mice.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Aurothioglucose, a gold compound used clinically to treat rheumatoid arthritis, has recently been found to be a potent PKCiota-Par6 interaction inhibitor, with an IC50 approximately 1 μM. Disruption of this interaction disrupts a rac1 signaling pathway that is required for transformed growth in non-small-cell lung cancer.

For reasons of insufficient quality of the raw material, aurothioglucose was withdrawn from the Dutch market at the end of 2001. Aurothiomalate became available as an alternative preparation. We followed a cohort of patients during the first year after switching

Changes in physiological, pathophysiological, and/or nutritional conditions often alter the expression of drug-metabolizing enzymes. In this study, we investigated obesity-induced changes in hepatic cytochrome P450 (P450) levels using nutritionally obese mice. To induce obesity, mice were fed a high-fat diet

The search for effective treatments of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), now the most common chronic liver disease in affluent countries, is hindered by a lack of animal models having the range of anthropometric and pathophysiological features as human NASH. To examine

Following the chemically-induced lesion of the ventromedial nucleus, gold-thioglucose treated rodents display hypothalamic leptin resistance, hyperphagia, hyperinsulinemia and obesity. Despite the exuberant hyperinsulinemia following gold-thioglucose treatment, systemic insulin sensitivity is preserved during the early phase of the obesity syndrome, resulting

An obesity-induced diabetes model using genetically normal mouse strains would be invaluable but remains to be established. One reason is that several normal mouse strains are resistant to high-fat diet-induced obesity. In the present study, we show the effectiveness of
