Following diazoxide (DZ) induced hypoinsulinemia, cardiac luminal lipoprotein lipase (LPL) increases [Cardiovasc. Res. 3 (2003) 788]. To identify circulating mediators that maintain high LPL in vivo, DZ hearts were perfused for 1 h in the presence or absence of glucose
Lassa virus (LASV) is endemic in West Africa and induces a viral hemorrhagic fever (VHF) with up to 30% lethality among clinical cases. The mechanisms involved in control of Lassa fever or, in contrast, the ensuing catastrophic illness and death
Sphingomyelin (SM) is an important choline group-containing phospholipid and is considered to be an independent risk factor for coronary heart disease. We have developed a specific enzymatic assay for SM measurement with rapid and automatable performances by using two-reagent system
Increased lipoprotein-associated PLA(2) (Lp-PLA(2)) predicts the future development of cardiovascular diseases. Although lysophosphatidylcholine (lyso-PC) produced by Lp-PLA(2) may contribute to its proatherogenic activity, the relation between Lp-PLA(2) and lyso-PC content in LDL remains unclarified. We determined the correlation between lyso-PC
TRPM7 is an essential and ubiquitous channel-kinase regulating cellular influx of Mg2+. Although TRPM7 mRNA is highly abundant, very small amount of the protein is detected in cells, suggesting post-transcriptional regulation of trpm7 gene expression. We found that TRPM7 mRNA
