Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of a gene encoding an acyl CoA:diacylglycerol acyltransferase, a key enzyme in triacylglycerol synthesis

TL;DR: An expressed sequence tag clone that shared regions of similarity with acyl CoA:cholesterol acyltransferase, an enzyme that also uses fatty acyl coA as a substrate was identified, which will greatly facilitate studies of cellular glycerolipid metabolism and its regulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impaired monocyte migration and reduced type 1 (Th1) cytokine responses in C-C chemokine receptor 2 knockout mice.

TL;DR: It is concluded that CCR2-/- mice have significant defects in both delayed-type hypersensitivity responses and production of Th1-type cytokines, suggesting an important and unexpected role for C CR2 activation in modulating the immune response, as well as in recruiting monocytes/macrophages to sites of inflammation.
Journal ArticleDOI

A dual thrombin receptor system for platelet activation

TL;DR: It is reported that thrombin responses in platelets from PAR3-deficient mice were markedly delayed and diminished but not absent, and the identification of a two-receptor system for platelet activation byThrombin has important implications for the development of antithrombotic therapies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Obesity resistance and multiple mechanisms of triglyceride synthesis in mice lacking Dgat.

TL;DR: It is shown that Dgat-deficient (Dgat−/−) mice are viable and can still synthesize triglycerides, and these mice are lean and resistant to diet-induced obesity.
