Journal ArticleDOI
Conjugated linoleic acid supplementation reduces adipose tissue by apoptosis and develops lipodystrophy in mice.
Nobuyo Tsuboyama-Kasaoka,Mayumi Takahashi,Kentaro Tanemura,Hyounju Kim,Tsuyoshi Tange,Hitoshi Okuyama,Masaaki Kasai,Shinji Ikemoto,Osamu Ezaki +8 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that intake of CLA reduces adipose tissue by apoptosis and results in lipodystrophy, but hyperinsulinemia by CLA can be normalized by leptin administration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cloning of mice to six generations.
Teruhiko Wakayama,Yoichi Shinkai,Kellie L.K. Tamashiro,Hiroyuki Niida,D. Caroline Blanchard,Robert J. Blanchard,Atsuo Ogura,Kentaro Tanemura,Makoto Tachibana,Anthony C.F. Perry,Diana F. Colgan,Peter Mombaerts,Ryuzo Yanagimachi +12 more
TL;DR: The reiterative cloning of mice to four and six generations in two independent lines shows no signs of prematureageing, and there was no evidence of shortening of telomeres at the ends of chromosomes, normally an indicator of cellular senescence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of normal mice from metaphase I oocytes fertilized with primary spermatocytes
TL;DR: This finding provides direct evidence that the nuclei of male germ cells acquire the ability to fertilize oocytes before the first meiotic division.
Journal ArticleDOI
Primary structure and cell-type specific expression of a gustatory G protein-coupled receptor related to olfactory receptors.
TL;DR: A full-length cDNA clone encoding a tongue cell-type specific receptor is described, which is similar to known G protein-coupled, seven-transmembrane receptors such as an olfactory receptor but is significantly different in part.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of two α-subunit species of GTP-binding proteins, Gα15 and Gαq, expressed in rat taste buds
Yuko Kusakabe,Eiri Yamaguchi,Kentaro Tanemura,Kimihiko Kameyama,Noboru Chiba,Soichi Arai,Yasufumi Emori,Keiko Abe +7 more
TL;DR: Cloned cDNAs for two G protein α-subunits belonging to the Gαq family, each capable of activating PLCβ, from rat tongue suggest the possibility that these two Gα proteins function for taste signal transduction in sensory cells.
