Published: March 2009

The oxidative metabolism was assessed in the septal, intermediate and temporal hippocampus in Wistar rats that were trained following a working memory schedule in the Morris water maze. The cytochrome oxidase histochemistry was measured at 90 min, 6, 24 and 48 h post-training. We found an increase in the septal dentate gyrus at 90 min, at 6h the increase was also found in CA3 and CA1 regions and returned to basal levels at 24h. In contrast, the intermediate region showed lower increase, limited to the dentate gyrus and CA3 at 24h post-training. No changes were found in the temporal hippocampus. These findings suggest that septal and intermediate hippocampal zones participate in this spatial learning and contribute at different moments to process this information.

Liver fatty acid binding protein FABP1 transfers substrates to cytochrome P450 4A11 for catalysis.

J Biol Chem

January 2025

Department of Biochemistry, Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, Nashville, Tennessee 37232-0146, United States. Electronic address:

Cytochrome P450 (P450) 4A11 is a human P450 family 4 ω-oxidase that selectively catalyzes the hydroxylation of the terminal methyl group of fatty acids. Cytosolic lipids are the substrates for the enzyme but are considered to be primarily bound in cells by liver fatty acid binding protein (FABP1). Lipid binding to recombinant FABP1 with a fluorophore displacement assay showed substantial preference of FABP1 for ≥16-carbon fatty acids (K < 70 nM).

Article Synopsis
  • Pomacea canaliculata is an invasive aquatic species with varying dietary habits and intestinal microbiota across different habitats (pond, river, ditch).
  • This study utilized gene sequencing and metabolomics to analyze intestinal samples, revealing the highest dietary diversity in ditches and significant differences between male and female diets in ponds.
  • The findings indicate that changes in diet affect intestinal microbiota and metabolic pathways, helping to explain how P. canaliculata adapts physiologically to diverse environments, which is crucial for understanding its impact on aquatic ecosystems.

Dichlormid protect wheat from fomesafen residual injury by increasing PPO expression and the photosynthesis characterize.

Fomesafen is a herbicide with long persistence in soil, causing damage to succeeding crops. Dichlormid is a widely used safener protecting maize from chloroacetanilide and thiocarbamate injury. We found that dichlormid treatment could restore the growth of wheat seedlings exposed to fomesafen stress.

The genes are important for growth in the presence of sphingosine by promoting sphingosine metabolism.

Sphingoid bases, including sphingosine, are important components of the antimicrobial barrier at epithelial surfaces where they can cause growth inhibition and killing of susceptible bacteria. is a common opportunistic pathogen that is less susceptible to sphingosine than many Gram-negative bacteria. Here, we determined that the deletion of the operon reduced growth in the presence of sphingosine.

Mapping mitochondrial morphology and function: COX-SBFSEM reveals patterns in mitochondrial disease.

Commun Biol

Mitochondria play a crucial role in maintaining cellular health. It is interesting that the shape of mitochondria can vary depending on the type of cell, mitochondrial function, and other cellular conditions. However, there are limited studies that link functional assessment with mitochondrial morphology evaluation at high magnification, even fewer that do so in situ and none in human muscle biopsies.
