Journal ArticleDOI

Plasma acylcarnitine profiles suggest incomplete long-chain fatty acid β-oxidation and altered tricarboxylic acid cycle activity in type 2 diabetic African-American women.

TL;DR: Results are consistent with the working hypothesis that inefficient tissue LCFA beta-oxidation, due in part to a relatively low tricarboxylic acid cycle capacity, increases tissue accumulation of acetyl-CoA and generates chain-shortened acylcarnitine molecules that activate proinflammatory pathways implicated in insulin resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Saturated fatty acids activate TLR-mediated proinflammatory signaling pathways

TL;DR: These results and additional studies with the LPS sequester polymixin B and in MyD88−/− macrophages indicated that SFA-induced activation of TLR2 or TLR4 is a fatty acid-specific effect, but not due to contaminants in BSA or fatty acid preparations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Soluble Epoxide Hydrolase Regulates Hydrolysis of Vasoactive Epoxyeicosatrienoic Acids

TL;DR: These studies identify sEH as a novel therapeutic target for control of blood pressure and the identification of a potent and selective inhibitor of EET hydrolysis will be invaluable in separating the vascular effects of the EET and DHET eicosanoids.
Journal ArticleDOI

Epoxide hydrolases: their roles and interactions with lipid metabolism.

TL;DR: The current state of knowledge for each epoxide hydrolase sub-type is discussed, along with a distillation of the current understanding of their endogenous roles, by reviewing the entire enzyme class together.
