Journal ArticleDOI

Perfluorooctanoic acid exposure alters polyunsaturated fatty acid composition, induces oxidative stress and activates the AKT/AMPK pathway in mouse epididymis.

TL;DR: Altered polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) compositions, such as a higher arachidonic acid:linoleic acid (AA:LA) ratio, concomitant with excessive oxidative stress, and Oxidative stress and PUFA alteration might help explain the sperm injury and male reproductive dysfunction induced by PFOA exposure.
Journal ArticleDOI

Oxidized-LDL inhibits testosterone biosynthesis by affecting mitochondrial function and the p38 MAPK/COX-2 signaling pathway in Leydig cells.

TL;DR: This study first showed the specific localization of oxLDL and mitochondrial structural damage in testicular Leydig cells of high-fat diet-fed mice in vivo and provided the first evidence that ox LDL is a novel metabolic biomarker of male-acquired hypogonadism caused by abnormal lipid metabolism.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fibroblast mTOR/PPARγ/HGF axis protects against tubular cell death and acute kidney injury.

TL;DR: The data suggest that mTOR signaling activation in kidney fibroblasts protects against tubular cell death and dictates the outcome of AKI through stimulating PPARγ and HGF expression.
Journal ArticleDOI

Elevation of ω-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids Attenuates PTEN-deficiency Induced Endometrial Cancer Development through Regulation of COX-2 and PGE2 Production

TL;DR: The direct inhibitory effects of ω-3 PUFAs on endometrial cancer development and the underlying mechanisms involving reduction of COX-2 and PGE2 are revealed.
