Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator-1alpha (PGC-1alpha) is a transcriptional coactivator that regulates multiple aspects of cellular energy metabolism, including mitochondrial biogenesis, hepatic gluconeogenesis, and beta-oxidation of fatty acids. PGC-1alpha mRNA levels are increased in both type-1 and type-2 diabetes and may contribute to elevated hepatic glucose production in diabetic states. We have recently described PGC-1beta, a novel transcriptional coactivator that is a homolog of PGC-1alpha. Although PGC-1beta shares significant sequence similarity and tissue distribution with PGC-1alpha, the biological activities of PGC-1beta in the regulation of cellular metabolism is unknown. In this study, we used an adenoviral-mediated expression system to study the function of PGC-1beta both in cultured hepatocytes and in the liver of rats. PGC-1beta, like PGC-1alpha, potently induces the expression of an array of mitochondrial genes involved in oxidative metabolism. However, in contrast to PGC-1alpha, PGC-1beta poorly activates the expression of gluconeogenic genes in hepatocytes or liver in vivo, illustrating that these two coactivators play distinct roles in hepatic glucose metabolism. The reduced ability of PGC-1beta to induce gluconeogenic genes is due, at least in part, to its inability to physically associate with and coactivate hepatic nuclear receptor 4alpha (HNF4alpha) and forkhead transcription factor O1 (FOXO1), two critical transcription factors that mediate the activation of gluconeogenic gene expression by PGC-1alpha. These data illustrate that PGC-1beta and PGC-1alpha have distinct arrays of activities in hepatic energy metabolism.

Bi-directional regulation of brown fat adipogenesis by the insulin receptor.

Insulin is a potent inducer of adipogenesis, and differentiation of adipocytes requires many components of the insulin signaling pathway, including the insulin receptor substrate IRS-1 and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K). Brown pre-adipocytes in culture exhibit low levels of insulin receptor (IR), and during differentiation there is both an increase in total IR levels and a shift in the alternatively spliced forms of IR from the A isoform (-exon 11) to the B isoform (+exon 11). Brown pre-adipocyte cell lines from insulin receptor-deficient mice exhibit dramatically impaired differentiation and an inability to regulate alternative splicing of the insulin receptor. Surprisingly, re-expression of either splice isoform of IR in the IR-deficient cells fails to rescue differentiation in these cells. Likewise, overexpression of IR in control IRlox cells also results in inhibition of differentiation and a failure to accumulate expression of the adipogenic markers peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma, Glut4, and fatty acid synthase, although cells overexpressing IR retain the ability to activate PI3K and down-regulate mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) phosphorylation. Thus, differentiation of brown adipocytes requires a timed and regulated expression of IR, and either the absence or overabundance of insulin receptors in these cells dramatically inhibits differentiation.

Gender differences in the regulation of amino acid metabolism.

Exercising men, compared with women, have a greater increase in leucine oxidation but not lysine rate of appearance. The cause for this sexual dimorphism is unknown; however, an inhibition of beta-adrenoreceptor activity has previously been shown to mediate amino acid metabolism (Lamont LS, McCullough AJ, and Kalhan SC. Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab 268: E910-E916, 1995; Lamont LS, Patel DG, and Kalhan SC. J Appl Physiol 67: 221-225, 1989). This study was a gender comparison of leucine and lysine kinetics during a beta-adrenoreceptor blockade (beta1,beta2-blockade) and a placebo control by using a double-blind crossover protocol. Subjects exercised at 50% of their trial-specific maximal O2 consumption (1 h) after 7 days of dietary control. During exercise with beta-blockade, men had an increased nonprotein respiratory exchange ratio (P < 0.001), whereas women had an increased circulation of free fatty acids (P < 0.001). The genders also displayed distinct differences in exercise amino acid kinetics. The men, but not the women, increased leucine oxidation (P < 0.005) and lysine rate of appearance (P < 0.009) when exercising during beta-adrenergic blockade. This study indicates that during beta-blockade, exercising men increase their need for amino acids (and carbohydrate) to fuel energy needs, whereas women increase their mobilization of fat, thereby requiring less alternative fuels such as carbohydrate and amino acids. Gender-specific fuel preferences during exercise are regulated by beta-adrenergic-receptor activity. Substrate availability during exercise appears to modulate the amino acid oxidation differences between genders.

Properties and modulation of the G protein-coupled K+ channel in rat cerebellar granule neurons: ATP versus phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate.

Cerebellar granule (CG) neurons express a G protein-gated K+ current (GIRK) that is involved in the neurotransmitter regulation of the excitatory input to the Purkinje fibres of the cerebellum. Here, we characterized the single-channel behaviour of GIRK in CG neurons, and examined the effects of several known modulators of GIRK and their putative physiological roles. Whole-cell GIRKs were activated by baclofen, a GABAB receptor agonist. In cell-attached patches, baclofen activated GIRK with a single-channel conductance of 34 pS and a mean open time of 0.5 ms. In inside-out patches, application of GTPgammaS to the cytoplasmic side activated GIRK with similar kinetic properties. Addition of 2 mM ATP resulted in a marked increase in GIRK activity and induced longer-lived openings with a mean open time of 2.3 ms (ATP-dependent gating). Brain cytosolic fraction or free fatty acids inhibited this effect of ATP, and this was reversed by addition of purified recombinant brain fatty acid binding protein. Applying phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) to inside-out patches in place of ATP also increased GIRK activity; however, only an increase in the frequency of opening was observed. The stimulatory effect of PIP2 on GIRK activity was not inhibited by the cytosolic fraction. Following maximal activation by PIP2, ATP caused an additional 2.2-fold increase in GIRK activity. These results show that GIRKs in CG neurons are regulated by positive and negative modulators that affect frequency as well as open time duration. The net effect is that the ligand-activated GIRK is in the 'low activity' state associated with short-lived openings, mainly due to strong action of the cytosolic inhibitor of ATP-dependent gating. Our results also show that intracellular ATP modulates GIRK via pathways different from that of PIP2 in CG neurons.

Hair loss is genetically influenced, but it is always difficult to predict. Overall, more than 50% of US men suffer hair loss by their age of 45. Men are more likely to lose hair than women. Hair Million offers an alternative solution to hair loss problems. Anecdotal evidence and personal experiences indicate the efficacy of this herbal blend in improveming age-related hair thinning and hair loss for a number of people who take it. The mechanism of action as to how Hair Million works to help stop hair loss, and promote hair growth is totally unknown. It is only known by anecdotal observations. There has been no clinical trials nor placebo controlled statistical analysis on the efficacy of Hair Million on hair loss and hair growth. Propecia is a clinically tested drug for the purpose of reversing hair loss.
