Our aim was to assess the effect of two isomers of conjugated linoleic acids (CLA), cis-9,trans-11-CLA (c9,t11-CLA) and trans-10,cis-12-CLA (t10,c12-CLA), on glucose metabolism and hepatic expression of NR4A receptors, key transcription factors regulating gluconeogenesis. ApoE-deficient mice were fed isocaloric, isonitrogenous westernized diets enriched with c9,t11-CLA, t10,c12-CLA or linoleic ...

Three-year-old citrus trees were grown in the greenhouse to study the effects of fertilizer concentration and root herbivory on plant growth and mineral concentration. In separate experiments, sour orange (Citrus aurantium L.) and Swingle citrumelo (C. paradisi Macf. Poncirus trifoliate L.) plants were treated with a complete fertilizer diluted to provide 25, 100, 200, or 400 ppm N and grown fo...

OBJECTIVE To assess the effect of timing of intraoperative parathormone (iPTH) samples and 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHD) status on decision-making during parathyroidectomy. METHODS A total of 77 patients with primary hyperparathyroidism and iPTH levels (preincision, preremoval, 5 (T5) and 10 (T10) minutes postremoval) performed during parathyroidectomy were reviewed. RESULTS Forty-one percen...

Gel retardation studies and other experiments indicate that DNA sequences containing the d(GA4T4C)n motif are curved, whereas those of identical composition but with a reverse sequence polarity, the d(GT4A4C)n motif, are straight. Hydroxyl radical cleavage experiments show that d(GA4T4C)n shows a unique signature, whereas d(GT4A4C)n behaves normally. To explain these results at a molecular leve...

The effectiveness of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) as a weight-loss nutraceutical continues to be debatable, suggesting that there may be value in exploring the physiological effects of the lesser-known isomers. The effects of the minor isomer, trans-8, cis-10 (t8, c10)-CLA, in the form of an equimolar mixture with the cis-9, trans-11 (c9, t11) isomer, on body weight and body composition, circ...

Conjugated linoleic acids (CLA) are a class of positional, geometric, conjugated dienoic isomers of linoleic acid (LA). Dietary CLA supplementation results in a dramatic decrease in body fat mass in mice, but also causes considerable liver steatosis. However, little is known of the molecular mechanisms leading to hepatomegaly. Although c9,t11- and t10,c12-CLA isomers are found in similar propor...

Effects of the conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) isomers cis-9, trans-11 (c9,t11 CLA) and trans-10, cis-12 (t10,c12 CLA) on lipid metabolism and markers of peroxisome proliferation were investigated in hamsters fed on purified diets containing 30% energy as fat and 0.1 g cholesterol/kg for 8 weeks. Four groups (n 32 each) received diets without CLA (control), with a mixture of equal amounts of c9,...
