540-570 / 1000+ results research Genetically Altered Expression of Spermidine/Spermine N1-Acetyltransferase Affects Fat Metabolism in Mice via Acetyl-CoA
The study investigated the effects of genetically altered expression of spermidine/spermine N1-acetyltransferase (SSAT) on fat metabolism in mice, revealing that SSAT overexpression led to a lean phenotype with increased glucose and fatty acid oxidation, while SSAT knock-out mice showed increased body fat and reduced oxidation rates. These changes were linked to alterations in acetyl-CoA and malonyl-CoA levels, suggesting that SSAT modulated fat metabolism by influencing acetyl-CoA availability. The study involved more than 25 animals per group, providing robust data and highlighting a potential link between polyamine metabolism and obesity control.
research The Pathobiology of Skin Aging
The document reviewed the pathobiology of skin aging, identifying it as a degenerative process influenced by intrinsic and environmental factors, leading to structural changes such as epidermal thinning, loss of dermal papillae, and decreased collagen and elastin, which contribute to wrinkles and sagging. It highlighted the role of stem cell dysfunction, genetic factors, and immune system decline in skin deterioration, noting increased susceptibility to infections and skin cancer. The review argued for recognizing skin aging as a disease due to its health implications and variability among individuals. It also discussed the psychological impact of skin aging and advocated for public health strategies to mitigate its progression. The document emphasized the complex interplay between skin aging, stem cell function, and immune response, suggesting potential interventions like targeting sirtuins to reverse aging effects.
