Sentences with phrase «citrate synthase»

(3) The researchers noted that the muscles of mice fed the MCTs produced higher levels of key metabolic enzymes (3 - oxo acid CoA - transferase, citrate synthase and malate dehydrogenase) involved in the Krebs cycle (tricarboxylic acid cycle), the body's primary energy production mechanism.

The study also looked at «citrate synthase (CS) and 3 - hydroxy - CoA dehydrogenase (HAD)» activity in the vastus lateralis muscle.

Rosella is targeted to the cytosol when expressed without a signal sequence and to the mitochondria via citrate synthase's mitochondrial targeting sequence.

Since levels of PGC - 1α and citrate synthase were unchanged in spleen and kidney, in contrast to the situation in skeletal muscle, it would suggest that the mechanism of the increased endurance and altered metabolic characteristics is a muscle - specific adaptation to the lack of IL - 15Rα.

(C) Gene expression was greater for Ppard, Pgc - 1α, and citrate synthase in muscles from IL - 15Rα — KO mice, as determined by qPCR.

The expression of mRNA for factors involved in promoting mitochondrial biogenesis, including the transcription factor Ppard, the PPARδ coactivator Pgc - 1α, and citrate synthase was greater in gastrocnemius muscles from IL - 15Rα — KO relative to B6129 control (Figure 5C); however, levels of these genes were unchanged in spleen and kidney (data not shown).
