Activation of transient receptor potential vanilloid 3 channel suppresses adipogenesis.

Endocrinology 156 , 2074-86, (2015)

The present study shows that activation of the transient receptor potential vanilloid 3 channel (TRPV3) suppresses adipocyte differentiation. We also found that a major functional catechin compound in...

The reverse of the 'repair' reaction of thiols: H-abstraction at carbon by thiyl radicals.

Int. J. Radiat. Biol. Relat. Stud. Phys. Chem. Med. 51(1) , 91-102, (1987)

Thiyl radicals (RS) formed by the reaction of radiolytically generated OH radicals with thiols, e.g. 1,4-dithiothreitol (DTT), react with cis- and trans-2,5-dimethyltetrahydrofuran by abstracting an H...

One-step catalytic transformation of carbohydrates and cellulosic biomass to 2,5-dimethyltetrahydrofuran for liquid fuels.

ChemSusChem 3(5) , 597-603, (2010)

Existing technologies to produce liquid fuels from biomass are typically energy-intensive, multistep processes. Many of these processes use edible biomass as starting material. Carbohydrates, such as ...
