Assay of low deuterium enrichment of water by isotopic exchange with [U-13C3]acetone and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry

Reads0
Chats0
TLDR
The assay with [U-13C3]acetone allows measuring the 2H-enrichment of water even in biological samples containing acetone, which is more rapid and economical than the classical isotope ratio mass spectrometric assay of the enrichment of hydrogen gas derived from the reduction of water.

FGF19 as a Postprandial, Insulin-Independent Activator of Hepatic Protein and Glycogen Synthesis

TL;DR: FGF19 treatment restored the loss of glycogen in diabetic animals lacking insulin and activates a physiologically important, insulin-independent endocrine pathway that regulates hepatic protein and glycogen metabolism.

Contribution of hepatic de novo lipogenesis and reesterification of plasma non esterified fatty acids to plasma triglyceride synthesis during non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured triglyceride secretion rate and the contributions of hepatic lipogenesis and reesterification of non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) to this secretion in healthy subjects and in patients with clear evidence of NAFLD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Increased hepatic lipogenesis but decreased expression of lipogenic gene in adipose tissue in human obesity

TL;DR: Subjects with established obesity have an increased hepatic lipogenesis that could contribute to their excessive fat mass but no evidence for an increased lipogenic capacity of adipose tissue.
Journal ArticleDOI

Addition of inulin to a moderately high-carbohydrate diet reduces hepatic lipogenesis and plasma triacylglycerol concentrations in humans.

TL;DR: The addition of high-performance inulin to a moderately high-carbohydrate, low-fat diet has a beneficial effect on plasma lipids by decreasing hepatic lipogenesis and plasma triacylglycerol concentrations.

Solvent isotope effects of enzyme systems.

K B Schowen, +1 more
TL;DR: This chapter provides the physicochemical background for the use of solvent isotope effects in biochemical studies, with fairly complete derivations of the requisite algebraic expressions, an account of underlying assumptions, and a review of pertinent experimental and theoretical information.

Measurement of de novo hepatic lipogenesis in humans using stable isotopes.

TL;DR: De novo hepatic lipogenesis is a quantitatively minor pathway, consistent with gas exchange estimates; fatty acid futile cycling (oxidation/resynthesis) is not thermogenically significant; and synthesis rates of different nonessential fatty acids by human liver are not identical in nonoverfed normal men.

Deuterium and oxygen-18 measurements on microliter samples of urine, plasma, saliva, and human milk

TL;DR: Improved methods to measure 2H:1H and 18O:16O isotope ratios on microliter samples of biological fluids facilitate and extend the use of 2H and18O tracers in studies of body composition and energy expenditure.
