Activation of the AMP-dependent kinase pathway and subsequent increased fatty acid oxidation seems to be the main mechanism of action of these hormones in the regulation of lipid metabolism.

Palmitoleate is the first lipid demonstrated to work as a hormone, a job usually done by proteins, such as insulin, or by small molecules, such as adrenaline. If the lipid works the same way in ...

Now, for the first time, a new prospective cohort study quantifies the link between hormonal shifts and these lipid changes. However, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) somewhat mitigates the shift ...

Scientists at the University of Pittsburgh have discovered a predictor of blood lipid — or cholesterol — status for midlife women that may be key to understanding how hormone replacement ...

A group at MedUni Vienna has identified a regulatory loop controlled by leptin, by which this adipocyte-derived hormone ... new lipids, thereby reducing liver fat content. This effect was ...

A group of steroid hormones could ... inhibit lipid storage and promote increased bone mass," Pierce said. What they found is that the results were dependent on the setting. When looking at ...

Working backwards, the researchers then looked at what could be triggering the specific immune cells to release these lipids, and the culprit seemed to be a type of stress hormone called ...

Researchers have developed a new compound, ZTA-261, that binds to thyroid hormone receptor beta (THR ). THR plays an important role in the regulation of lipid metabolism, which affects lipid ...

While some are peptides or proteins composed of amino acids, others are steroid hormones derived from lipids. Some peptide hormones include a covalently attached oligosaccharide, in which case ...

They have developed a new compound, ZTA-261, which selectively binds to the thyroid hormone receptor beta (THRβ). THRβ plays an important role in the regulation of lipid metabolism, which ...
