Journal ArticleDOI

Differential activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors by eicosanoids.

TL;DR: Results indicate that PPARs are differentially activated by naturally occurring eicosanoids and related molecules.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phosphorylation of Steroidogenic Acute Regulatory Protein (StAR) Modulates Its Steroidogenic Activity

TL;DR: The observations suggest that phosphorylation of serine 194/195 increases the biological activity of StAR and that this post- or co-translational event accounts, in part, for the immediate effects of cAMP on steroid production.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antidiabetic thiazolidinediones inhibit leptin (ob) gene expression in 3T3-L1 adipocytes.

TL;DR: Results indicate that antidiabetic thiazolidinediones down-regulate leptin gene expression with potencies that correlate with their abilities to bind and activate PPARgamma.
Journal ArticleDOI

MLN64 contains a domain with homology to the steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR) that stimulates steroidogenesis

TL;DR: It is concluded that MLN64 stimulates steroidogenesis by virtue of its homology to StAR, which plays a key role in steroid hormone biosynthesis by enhancing the intramitochondrial translocation of cholesterol to the cholesterol side-chain cleavage enzyme.
Journal ArticleDOI

Steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR) is a sterol transfer protein.

TL;DR: The steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR) plays a critical role in steroidogenesis by enhancing the delivery of substrate cholesterol from the outer mitochondrial membrane to the cholesterol side chain cleavage enzyme system on the inner membrane as discussed by the authors.
