Hepatocyte-Specific Disruption of CD36 Attenuates Fatty Liver and Improves Insulin Sensitivity in HFD-Fed Mice.

abstract：:Cholecystokinin (CCK)/gastrin receptors were characterized in calf pancreatic plasma membranes from newborns, 28- and 119-day-old milk-fed preruminants, and 119-day-old weaned ruminants. Scatchard analysis of [125I]Bolton-Hunter reagent-[Thr28,Nle31]CCK-(25-33) binding indicated two classes of binding sites: high affi...

abstract：:Angiotensin II (AngII) stimulates aldosterone biosynthesis in the zona glomerulosa of the adrenal cortex. AngII also triggers the MAPK pathways (ERK1/2 and p38). Because ERK1/2 phosphorylation is a transient process, phosphatases could play a crucial role in the acute steroidogenic response. Here we show that the dual...
