Is hepatic lipid metabolism response to dietary fatty acids differently modulated by PPARalpha in male and female mice?
Our data suggests estrogen to modulate the regulation of hepatic lipid metabolic pathway by dietary fatty acids. Besides, PPARalpha invalidation resulted in unexpected regulations by ALA of its known targets and was compensated partly in females, which was therefore less sensitive to the detrimental effects of a SFA-rich diet.
Patients with ED have higher estimated probability of presenting segmental myocardial perfusion and functional contraction impairment and, therefore, CAD, independent of the aging factor. The authors conclude that ED may be considered not only a marker for CAD but also a condition related to the occurrence of major coronary events such as MI and PCTA.
