Omega-3 fatty acids and other FFA4 agonists inhibit growth factor signaling in human prostate cancer cells.

J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 352(2) , 380-94, (2015)

Omega-3 fatty acids (n-3 FAs) are proposed to have many beneficial effects on human health. However, the mechanisms underlying their potential cancer preventative effects are unclear. G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) of the free fatty acid receptor (FFAR) ...

Short-chain fatty acid sensing in rat duodenum.

J. Physiol. 593(3) , 585-99, (2015)

Luminal lipid in the duodenum modulates gastroduodenal functions via the release of gut hormones and mediators such as cholecystokinin and 5-HT. The effects of luminal short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) in the foregut are unknown. Free fatty acid receptors (FFAR...

Novel identification of the free fatty acid receptor FFAR1 that promotes contraction in airway smooth muscle.

Am. J. Physiol. Lung Cell. Mol. Physiol. 309 , L970-82, (2015)

Obesity is one of the major risk factors for asthma. Previous studies have demonstrated that free fatty acid levels are elevated in the plasma of obese individuals. Medium- and long-chain free fatty acids act as endogenous ligands for the free fatty acid rece...

Mercaptoacetate and fatty acids exert direct and antagonistic effects on nodose neurons via GPR40 fatty acid receptors.

Am. J. Physiol. Regul. Integr. Comp. Physiol. 307(1) , R35-43, (2014)

β-mercaptoacetate (MA) is a drug known to block mitochondrial oxidation of medium- and long-chain fatty acids (FAs) and to stimulate feeding. Because MA-induced feeding is vagally dependent, it has been assumed that the feeding response is mediated by MA's an...

Proinflammatory effects of arachidonic acid in a lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammatory microenvironment in 3T3-L1 adipocytes in vitro.

Appl. Physiol. Nutr. Metab. 40(2) , 142-54, (2015)

Long-chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5n-3, EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (22:6n-3, DHA), have known anti-inflammatory effects, including the modulation of adipose tissue-derived inflammatory mediators (i.e., adipokines)...

Evidence for the involvement of GPR40 and NADPH oxidase in palmitic acid-induced superoxide production and insulin secretion.

Islets 5(4) , 139-48, (2013)

G protein coupled receptor 40 (GPR40) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase complex have been shown to be involved in the fatty acid amplification of glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS). The effect of palmitic acid on superox...

GW9508, a free fatty acid receptor agonist, specifically induces cell death in bone resorbing precursor cells through increased oxidative stress from mitochondrial origin.

Exp. Cell Res. 319(19) , 3035-41, (2013)

GW9508 is a free fatty acid receptor agonist able to protect from ovariectomy-induced bone loss in vivo thought inhibition of osteoclast differentiation in a G-coupled Protein Receptor 40 (GPR40)-dependent way. In this study, we questioned whether higher dose...

A novel anti-inflammatory role of GPR120 in intestinal epithelial cells.

Am. J. Physiol. Cell Physiol. 310 , C612-21, (2016)

GPR120 (free fatty acid receptor-4) is a G protein-coupled receptor for medium- and long-chain unsaturated fatty acids, including ω-3 fatty acids. Recent studies have shown GPR120 to play cardinal roles in metabolic disorders via modulation of gut hormone sec...

Docosahexaenoic acid inhibits inflammation via free fatty acid receptor FFA4, disruption of TAB2 interaction with TAK1/TAB1 and downregulation of ERK-dependent Egr-1 expression in EA.hy926 cells.

Mol. Nutr. Food. Res. 60 , 430-43, (2016)

Inflammation is intimately associated with many cardiovascular events and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) has been shown to protect against CVD. Egr-1 has emerged as a key regulator in the development of atherosclerosis. Free fatty acid receptor 4 (FFA4) is an n-3...

Linoleic acid stimulates [Ca2+]i increase in rat pancreatic beta-cells through both membrane receptor- and intracellular metabolite-mediated pathways.

PLoS ONE 8 , e60255, (2013)

The role of the free fatty acid (FFA) receptor and the intracellular metabolites of linoleic acid (LA) in LA-stimulated increase in cytosolic free calcium concentration ([Ca(2+)]i) was investigated. [Ca(2+)]i was measured using Fura-2 as indicator in rat panc...
