Vitiligo pathogenesis is complicated, and several possibilities were suggested. However, it is well-known that the metabolism of pigments plays a significant role in the pathogenicity of the disease. We explored the role of amino acids in vitiligo using targeted metabolomics. The amino acid profile was studied in plasma using liquid chromatography. First, 22 amino acids were derivatized and precis...... hiện toàn bộ
Metabolic consequences of LDHA inhibition by epigallocatechin gallate and oxamate in MIA PaCa-2 pancreatic cancer cellsMetabolomics - Tập 11 - Trang 71-80 - 2014

Lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA) is the enzyme that converts pyruvate to lactate and oxidizes the reduced form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide to NAD+. Several human cancers including the pancreas display elevated expression of LDHA. Because of its essential role in cancer metabolism, LDHA has been considered to be a potential target for cancer therapy. Recently, we have shown that a green tea ...... hiện toàn bộ
A model for determining cardiac mitochondrial substrate utilisation using stable 13C-labelled metabolitesMetabolomics - Tập 15 - Trang 1-10 - 2019
Ross T. Lindsay, Demetris Demetriou, Dominic Manetta-Jones, James A. West, Andrew J. Murray, Julian L. Griffin
Relative oxidation of different metabolic substrates in the heart varies both physiologically and pathologically, in order to meet metabolic demands under different circumstances. 13C labelled substrates have become a key tool for studying substrate use—yet an accurate model is required to analyse the complex data produced as these substrates become incorporated into the Krebs cycle. We aimed to g...... hiện toàn bộ
Metabolic profiling reveals anomalous energy metabolism and oxidative stress pathways in chronic fatigue syndrome patientsMetabolomics - Tập 11 - Trang 1626-1639 - 2015
Christopher W. Armstrong, Neil R. McGregor, Donald P. Lewis, Henry L. Butt, Paul R. Gooley
Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a debilitating long-term multisystem disorder with a central and inexplicably persistent fatigue symptom that is unable to be relieved by rest. Energy metabolism and oxidative stress have been recent focal points of ME/CFS research and in this study we were able to elucidate metabolic pathways that were indicative of their dysfunction....... hiện toàn bộ
Breath metabolome of mice infected with Pseudomonas aeruginosaMetabolomics - Tập 15 - Trang 1-10 - 2019

The measurement of specific volatile organic compounds in breath has been proposed as a potential diagnostic for a variety of diseases. The most well-studied bacterial lung infection in the breath field is that caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. To determine a discriminatory core of molecules in the “breath-print” of mice during a lung infection with four strains of P. aeruginosa (PAO1, PA14, PAK, ...... hiện toàn bộ
Influence of media selection on NMR based metabolic profiling of human cell linesMetabolomics - Tập 14 - Trang 1-26 - 2018
Tafadzwa Chihanga, Sarah M. Hausmann, Shuisong Ni, Michael A. Kennedy
Comparative metabolic profiling of different human cancer cell lines can reveal metabolic pathways up-regulated or down-regulated in each cell line, potentially providing insight into distinct metabolism taking place in different types of cancer cells. It is noteworthy, however, that human cell lines available from public repositories are deposited with recommended media for optimal growth, and if...... hiện toàn bộ
