Involvement of an alternatively spliced mitochondrial oxodicarboxylate carrier in adipogenesis in 3T3-L1 cellsMasashi Niimi
Otsuka Maryland Medicinal Laboratories, Inc, Rockville, Maryland, USA
J Biomed Sci 16:92. 2009..In order to identify genes critical for adipogenesis, we took a novel approach based on phenotype change of individual cell, to search for genes with regulatory roles in adipogenesis genome-wide in 3T3-L1 cells...
Efficacy of berberine in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitusJun Yin
Department of Endocrinology, Xinhua Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine, Shanghai 200092, China
Metabolism 57:712-7. 2008..Functional liver or kidney damages were not observed for all patients. In conclusion, this pilot study indicates that berberine is a potent oral hypoglycemic agent with beneficial effects on lipid metabolism...
Regulation of HIF-1{alpha} activity in adipose tissue by obesity-associated factors: adipogenesis, insulin, and hypoxiaQing He
Pennington Biomedical Research Center, Louisiana State University System, 6400 Perkins Rd, Baton Rouge, LA 70808, USA
Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab 300:E877-85. 2011..Adipose tissue HIF-1α activity is influenced by multiple signals, including adipogenesis, insulin, and hypoxia in obesity. The transcriptional activity of HIF-1α is inhibited by HDAC3-SMRT corepressor in the VEGF gene promoter...
Lack of SIRT1 (Mammalian Sirtuin 1) activity leads to liver steatosis in the SIRT1+/- mice: a role of lipid mobilization and inflammationFen Xu
6400 Perkins Road, Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70808 or Jianping Weng, The Third Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat Sen University, Guangzhou 510630, China
Endocrinology 151:2504-14. 2010..The inflammation may contribute to the pathogenesis of hepatic steatosis as well. A reduction in lipid mobilization may contribute to the hepatic steatosis and low energy expenditure...
Hypoxia is a potential risk factor for chronic inflammation and adiponectin reduction in adipose tissue of ob/ob and dietary obese miceJianping Ye
Pennington Biomedical Research Center, 6400 Perkins Road, Baton Rouge, LA 70808, USA
Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab 293:E1118-28. 2007..These data suggest a potential role of hypoxia in the induction of chronic inflammation and inhibition of adiponectin in the adipose tissue in obesity...
Angiogenic deficiency and adipose tissue dysfunction are associated with macrophage malfunction in SIRT1-/- miceFen Xu
Department of Endocrinology, The Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat Sen University, Guangzhou 510630, China
Endocrinology 153:1706-16. 2012..The study supports the concept that inflammation regulates angiogenesis in the adipose tissue...
Berberine improves glucose metabolism in diabetic rats by inhibition of hepatic gluconeogenesisXuan Xia
Department of Endocrinology, The Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat Sen University, Guangzhou, China
PLoS ONE 6:e16556. 2011..This activity is not dependent on insulin action. The gluconeogenic inhibition is likely a result of mitochondria inhibition by BBR. The observation supports that BBR improves glucose metabolism through an insulin-independent pathway...
Effect of Shilianhua extract and its fractions on body weight of obese miceJun Yin
Pennington Biomedical Research Center, Louisiana State University System, Baton Rouge, LA 70808, USA
Metabolism 57:S47-51. 2008..The weight reduction observed with the over-the-counter SLH tablet in the pilot studies may be secondary to other components in the tablet, but not from the SLH extract...
Macrophage infiltration into adipose tissue may promote angiogenesis for adipose tissue remodeling in obesityCan Pang
Pennington Biomedical Research Center, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, LA 70808, USA
Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab 295:E313-22. 2008..Although the PDGF level is elevated in adipose tissue, its activity in angiogenesis is dependent on the availability of sufficient endothelial cells. The study suggests a new function of macrophages in the adipose tissue in obesity...
Berberine improves glucose metabolism through induction of glycolysisJun Yin
Pennington Biomedical Research Center, Louisiana State University System, 6400 Perkins Rd, Baton Rouge, LA 70808, USA
Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab 294:E148-56. 2008..Berberine-induced AMPK activation is likely a consequence of mitochondria inhibition that increases the AMP/ATP ratio...
Effects of berberine on glucose metabolism in vitroJun Yin
Shanghai Institute of Endocrinology, Ruijin Hospital, Shanghai Second Medical University, Shanghai, China
Metabolism 51:1439-43. 2002..These observations suggest that berberine is able to exert a glucose-lowering effect in hepatocytes, which is insulin independent and similar to that of metformin, but has no effect on insulin secretion...
Traditional chinese medicine in treatment of metabolic syndromeJun Yin
Pennington Biomedical Research Center, Louisana State University System, Baton Rouge, LA 70808, USA
Endocr Metab Immune Disord Drug Targets 8:99-111. 2008....

Bioscience and Biotechnology Center, Nagoya University, Nagoya 464 8601, Japan
Biochem Biophys Res Commun 357:537-42. 2007..Kdn may thus be a target for diagnosis of cancers...
Hypoxic culture induces expression of sialin, a sialic acid transporter, and cancer-associated gangliosides containing non-human sialic acid on human cancer cellsJun Yin
Department of Molecular Pathology, Aichi Cancer Center, Nagoya, Japan
Cancer Res 66:2937-45. 2006..As hypoxia is associated with diminished response to radiotherapy and chemotherapy, NeuGc-G(M2) is a potential therapeutic target for hypoxic cancer cells...
Paraquat induces selective dopaminergic nigrostriatal degeneration in aging C57BL/6 miceXia Li
Department of Pharmacology, Shenyang Pharmaceutical University, Shenyang 110016, China
