Article Synopsis
- IUDs, including the levonorgestrel and copper types, are widely used for contraception.
- A case study involves a 30-year-old woman with a levonorgestrel IUD who was diagnosed with a ruptured ectopic pregnancy in the emergency department.
- Utilizing point-of-care urine pregnancy tests and point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is crucial for diagnosing conditions like ectopic pregnancy in individuals assigned female at birth experiencing abdominal pain.
Long-chain fatty acid amides are signaling lipids found in mammals and other organisms; however, details of the metabolic pathways for the N-acylglycines and primary fatty acid amides (PFAMs) have remained elusive. Heavy-labeled precursor and subtraction lipidomic experiments in mouse neuroblastoma N18TG2 cells, a model cell line for the study of fatty acid amide metabolism, establish the biosynthetic pathways for the N-acylglycines and the PFAMs. We provide evidence that the N-acylglycines are formed by a long-chain specific glycine-conjugating enzyme, glycine N-acyltransferase-like 3 (GLYATL3).
