Development of High-purity Certified Reference Materials for 17 Proteinogenic Amino Acids by Traceable Titration Methods.

Anal. Sci. 31 , 805-14, (2015)

To ensure the reliability of amino acid analyses, the National Metrology Institute of Japan of the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (NMIJ/AIST) has developed high-purity certified reference materials (CRMs) for 17 proteinogenic...

Physiologic force-frequency response in engineered heart muscle by electromechanical stimulation.

Biomaterials 60 , 82-91, (2015)

A hallmark of mature mammalian ventricular myocardium is a positive force-frequency relationship (FFR). Despite evidence of organotypic structural and molecular maturation, a positive FFR has not been observed in mammalian tissue engineered heart muscle. We h...

Sulfur amino acid metabolism in Zucker diabetic fatty rats.

Biochem. Pharmacol. 96 , 256-66, (2015)

The present study was aimed to investigate the metabolomics of sulfur amino acids in Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) rats, an obese type 2 diabetic animal model. Plasma levels of total cysteine, homocysteine and methionine, but not glutathione (GSH) were markedly...

HMDB: a knowledgebase for the human metabolome.

Nucleic Acids Res. 37(Database issue) , D603-10, (2009)

The Human Metabolome Database (HMDB, http://www.hmdb.ca) is a richly annotated resource that is designed to address the broad needs of biochemists, clinical chemists, physicians, medical geneticists, nutritionists and members of the metabolomics community. Si...

Prediction of skeletal muscle and fat mass in patients with advanced cancer using a metabolomic approach.

J. Nutr. 142(1) , 14-21, (2012)

Urine and plasma metabolites originate from endogenous metabolic pathways in different organs and exogenous sources (diet). Urine and plasma were obtained from advanced cancer patients and investigated to determine if variations in lean and fat mass, dietary ...

Chemical genetics reveals a complex functional ground state of neural stem cells.

Nat. Chem. Biol. 3(5) , 268-273, (2007)

The identification of self-renewing and multipotent neural stem cells (NSCs) in the mammalian brain holds promise for the treatment of neurological diseases and has yielded new insight into brain cancer. However, the complete repertoire of signaling pathways ...

HAX-1 regulates cyclophilin-D levels and mitochondria permeability transition pore in the heart.

Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 112 , E6466-75, (2015)

The major underpinning of massive cell death associated with myocardial infarction involves opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP), resulting in disruption of mitochondria membrane integrity and programmed necrosis. Studies in human ...

HepG2 cells as an in vitro model for evaluation of cytochrome P450 induction by xenobiotics.

Arch. Pharm. Res. 38 , 691-704, (2015)

Although various in vitro assays have been developed to evaluate the cytochrome P450 (CYP)-inducing potential of drug candidates, there is a continuing need for the development of a reliable model in drug discovery. The objective of the present study was to c...

Metabolomic profiles delineate potential role for sarcosine in prostate cancer progression.

Nature 457(7231) , 910-4, (2009)

Multiple, complex molecular events characterize cancer development and progression. Deciphering the molecular networks that distinguish organ-confined disease from metastatic disease may lead to the identification of critical biomarkers for cancer invasion an...

¹H-NMR and MS based metabolomics study of the intervention effect of curcumin on hyperlipidemia mice induced by high-fat diet.

PLoS ONE 10(3) , e0120950, (2015)

Curcumin, a principle bioactive component of Curcuma longa L, is well known for its anti-hyperlipidemia effect. However, no holistic metabolic information of curcumin on hyperlipidemia models has been revealed, which may provide us an insight into the underly...
