Altered Growth of Transgenic Tobacco Lacking Leaf Cytosolic Pyruvate Kinase1

Knowles, Vicki L., McHugh, Sylvia G., Hu, Zhiyuan, Dennis, David T., Miki, Brian L., Plaxton, William C.

Previously, we reported that transformation of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) with a vector containing a potato cytosolic pyruvate kinase (PKc) cDNA generated two plant lines specifically lacking...

Hypothalamic malonyl-CoA as a mediator of feeding behavior

Hu, Zhiyuan, Cha, Seung Hun, Chohnan, Shigeru, Lane, M. Daniel

Previous studies showed that i.p. administration of C75, a potent inhibitor of fatty acid synthase (FAS), blocked fasting-induced up-regulation of orexigenic neuropeptides and down-regulation of...

Inhibition of hypothalamic fatty acid synthase triggers rapid activation of fatty acid oxidation in skeletal muscle

Cha, Seung Hun, Hu, Zhiyuan, Chohnan, Shigeru, Lane, M. Daniel

Malonyl-CoA functions as a mediator in the hypothalamic sensing of energy balance and regulates the neural physiology that governs feeding behavior and energy expenditure. The central administration...

Two FAD3 Desaturase Genes Control the Level of Linolenic Acid in Flax Seed

Vrinten, Patricia, Hu, Zhiyuan, Munchinsky, Mary-Ann, Rowland, Gordon, Qiu, Xiao

Industrial oil flax (Linum usitatissimum) and edible oil or solin flax differ markedly in seed linolenic acid levels. Despite the economic importance of low-linolenic-acid or solin flax, the...

Effect of centrally administered C75, a fatty acid synthase inhibitor, on ghrelin secretion and its downstream effects

Hu, Zhiyuan, Cha, Seung Hun, Van Haasteren, Goedelle, Wang, Jing, Lane, M. Daniel

The central administration of the fatty acid synthase (FAS) inhibitor, C75, rapidly suppresses the expression of orexigenic neuropeptides [neuropeptide Y (NPY) and agouti-related protein (AgRP)] and...
