The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway is hyperactive in liver, adipose and skeletal muscle tissues of obese rodents. Alpha‐lipoic acid (αLA) has been well accepted as a weight‐loss treatment, though there are limited studies on its effect on mTOR signaling in high‐fat fed, obese rodents. Therefore, the goal of this study was to determine mTOR signaling and oxidative protein alterations in skeletal muscle of high‐fat fed, obese rats after αLA supplementation. Phosphorylation of the mTOR substrate, eukaryotic initiation factor (eIF) 4E‐binding protein 1 (4E‐BP1) and eIF4B were significantly reduced (p < 0.05) in muscle from αLA supplemented rats. Activation of AMP‐activated protein kinase (AMPK), an mTOR inhibitory kinase, was higher (p < 0.05) in the αLA group. Protein expression of markers of oxidative metabolism, acetyl CoA carboxylase (ACC), cytochrome c oxidase IV (COX IV), peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor (PPAR), and PPAR gamma coactivator 1‐alpha (PGC‐1α) were significantly higher (p < 0.05) after αLA supplementation compared to non‐supplemented group. Our findings show that αLA supplementation limits the negative ramifications of consuming a high fat diet on skeletal muscle markers of oxidative metabolism and mTORC1 signaling. 相似文献

A complete one-transistor dynamic RAM cell in GaAs is discussed. Read and write operations is monitored by observing the capacitance of the storage node. Storage times on the order of a few seconds are obtained at room temperature with an activation energy slightly less than half the zero-temperature bandgap 相似文献

Using headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS–SPME), equilibrium distributions could be determined for hydrophobic solutes in closed systems containing vapor and aqueous solution, either in the absence or presence of two short-chain phospholipids, dihexanoyl-phosphatidylcholine (diC6PC) and diheptanoyl-phosphatidylcholine (diC7PC). Without phospholipid, HS–SPME with short extraction times was used to measure water–vapor partition coefficients for d-limonene at five temperatures within 15–40°C, with results in good agreement with existing literature. The temperature dependence of yielded the enthalpy of volatilization 34.5 kJ/mol for limonene. At 25°C, solubility values for d-limonene, 1-octanol, and n-decane were obtained using similar measurements above aqueous solutions of various solute concentrations. Short-time HS–SPME extraction of limonene in closed vials containing diC6PC or diC7PC micelles was also used to evaluate distributions of solute between vapor, aqueous dissolution, and micelles, for various surfactant concentrations at 15–40°C. Resulting vapor phase concentrations were analyzed using a mass balance and measured values, to obtain micelle–water partition coefficients and critical micelle concentrations. in diC6PC solutions (1–2 mM−1) weakly increased with temperature, but decreased significantly with increased temperature for diC7PC micelles (2–4 mM−1). Solubilization in short-chain PC micelles has previously received little attention, and our results show that the extent of partitioning into these diacyl (i.e., two-tailed) lipids is comparable to that for single-tailed anionic or nonionic surfactants. 相似文献

Most dark fermentation (DF) studies had resorted to above-ambient temperatures to maximize hydrogen yield, without due consideration of the net energy gain. In this study, literature data on fermentative hydrogen production from glucose, sucrose, and organic wastes were compiled to evaluate the benefit of higher fermentation temperatures in terms of net energy gain. This evaluation showed that the improvement in hydrogen yield at higher temperatures is not justified as the net energy gain not only declined with increase of temperature, but also was mostly negative when the fermentation temperature exceeded 25 °C. To maximize the net energy gain of DF, the following two options for recovering additional energy from the end products and to determine the optimal fermentation temperature were evaluated: methane production via anaerobic digestion (AD); and direct electricity production via microbial fuel cells (MFC). Based on net energy gain, it is concluded that DF has to be operated at near-ambient temperatures for the net energy gain to be positive; and DF + MFC can result in higher net energy gain at any temperature than DF or DF + AD. 相似文献

Bacterial consortium capable of producing hydrogen in low pH (LpH) range of 3.3–4.3 is reported in this study. This operational pH is two full units below that of previously reported hydrogen producing organisms. Low pH inocula were derived from a batch biohydrogen reactor inoculated with heat treated compost (∼120 °C, 2 h), which was allowed to accumulate biogas to reach three atmospheres of equivalent headspace pressure and system pH of 3.0. Acclimation effect had positive influence on H2 production and LpH inocula were passed sequentially into more than 15 generations to achieve consistent conversion efficiency and hydrogen composition, further tested in 23 other culture cycles. With hydrogen composition in the headspace ranging from 50% to 60%, conversion efficiency of ∼43% achieved in LpH systems is comparable to that of other buffered systems. Feasibility of hydrogen production in LpH systems is demonstrated in unbuffered reactors under intermittent pressure release conditions and in absence of initial pH adjustment and stirring. Conversion efficiencies, however, decreased by ∼1-fold for each 3 °C drop below the optimum temperature of 22 °C. 相似文献

Feasibility of biohydrogen production by dark fermentation at two temperatures (22 °C and 37 °C) in unbuffered batch reactors was evaluated using heat-treated compost as inocula and sucrose as substrate, without any initial pH adjustment or inorganic nutrient supplements. Gas production was quantified by two different pressure release methods – intermittent pressure release (IPR) and continuous pressure release (CPR). Hydrogen production (47.2 mL/g COD/L) and sucrose-to-hydrogen conversion efficiency (53%) were both found to be highest at the lower temperature and IPR conditions. Hydrogen production was higher at the lower temperature irrespective of the pressure release condition. The high yield of 4.3 mol of hydrogen/mole of sucrose obtained in this study under IPR conditions at 22 °C is equivalent to or better than the literature values reported for buffered reactors. Even though literature reports have implied potential inhibition of hydrogen production at high hydrogen partial pressures resulting from IPR conditions, our results did not show any negative effects at hydrogen partial pressures exceeding 5.0 × 104 Pa. While our findings are contrary to literature reports, they make a strong case for cost-effective hydrogen production by dark fermentation. 相似文献

To increase an awareness of the developmental anatomy of the nasal cavity as it applies to the radiologic work-up of choanal atresia and frontoethmoidal cephaloceles, we report two cases that demonstrate potentially serious imaging pitfalls. Two neonates with nasopharyngeal obstruction were imaged with CT and MR. Both patients had surgically proved bilateral bony choanal atresia. In addition to choanal atresia, CT showed a radiolucent, or nonossified cribriform plate and mucoid secretions within the nasal fossa, adjacent to the cribriform plate, which approximated the attenuation of brain parenchyma. In one of the patients, a preoperative diagnosis of nasopharyngeal encephalocele resulted in surgical exploration. At surgery, however, the cartilaginous cribriform plate was found to be intact. 相似文献
