Does arachidonic acid increase matrix metalloproteinase 9 secretion and expression in human monocytic MonoMac 6 cells?
This study shows that of the PUFA studied, AA alone influences the expression of MMP-9, which might have implications in MMP-9 induced plaque rupture.
This study identifies PRAS40 as a regulator of insulin sensitivity in hSkMC. In contrast to the mTORC1-pathway, the insulin-sensitizing action of PRAS40 occurs independent of binding of PRAS40 to the mTORC1-complex.
