Fatty-acid-binding-protein isolated from liver of rats receiving normal or high fat diet was studied by three different methods. The effect of high fat diet on the thermal stability of the protein was determined employing differential scanning calorimetry. Fatty acids have a stabilizing effect on the thermal stability of the protein. In order to determine the relative binding affinity of native...

In order to determine anti-adipogenic effect, this study investigated 1β-hydroxy-2-oxopomolic acid (HOA) isolated from Agrimonia pilosa inhibits adipocyte differentiation and expression of adipogenic marker genes, such as peroxisome proliferator activated receptor γ (PPARγ), CCAAT-enhancer-binding protein α (C/EBPα), glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4), adiponectin, adipocyte fatty acid-binding prote...

Abstract This study aimed to analyze the fatty acid inPliek U oil andevaluate its inhibitor potential based on interaction several proteins and enzymes in SARS-CoV-2 using silico approach. Pliek containing capric acid, caprylic lauric linoleic myristic oleic palmitic acids, with as a dominant substance. Molecular docking analysis showed that has best receptors lowest binding affinity 3CLpro (6L...

The role of fatty acid transport protein 1 (FATP1) and FATP4 in facilitating adipocyte fatty acid metabolism was investigated using stable FATP1 or FATP4 knockdown (kd) 3T3-L1 cell lines derived from retrovirus-delivered short hairpin RNA (shRNA). Decreased expression of FATP1 or FATP4 did not affect preadipocyte differentiation or the expression of FATP1 (in FATP4 kd), FATP4 (in FATP1 kd), fat...

In this study we investigated the possible involvement of several amino acids (not located in the ligand-binding centre) in fatty acid binding and conformational stability of heart fatty acid-binding protein (H-FABP). We prepared recombinant human H-FABP proteins with mutations in the hydrophobic patch (Phe(4), Trp(8) and Phe(64)), portal region (Phe(16)), hinge region (Leu(66), Gly(67)), secon...
