Example sentences for: catabolism
How can you use “catabolism” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Human Fhit [ 14 ] and the S. cerevisiae Fhit homolog [ 13 ] , which was called Aph1 but is here termed Hnt2 under nomenclature aproved by the Saccharomyces Genome Database, cleave ApppA more readily while Aph1, the S. pombe homolog, cleaves AppppA more readily [ 20 ] . Consistent with the ApppA hydrolase activity of purified Fhit protein, most cancer cell lines that are Fhit negative at the protein level have higher levels of ApppA than cell lines that are Fhit positive [ 21 ] . Nonetheless, the actual concentrations of dinucleoside polyphosphates were submicromolar in every cell culture sample [ 21 ] and thus, under the reported culture conditions, the measured dinucleoside polyphosphates would not be expected to occupy the Fhit active site substantially [ 19 ] . Dinucleoside polyphosphate levels were measured in adenine-requiring S. cerevisiae strains before or after disruption of the Fhit-homologous HNT2 gene [ 13 ] and in adenine-requiring S. pombe strains as a function of disruption and overexpression of the Fhit-homologous aph1 gene [ 22 ] . Recently, it was observed that diadenosine polyphosphates undergo a divalent cation-dependent conformational change that might mediate their biosynthesis, catabolism or signaling properties [ 23 ] .
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) belong to a group of nuclear receptors that include steroid, retinoid, thyroid hormone receptors and others [ 21 22 23 ] . There are three types of PPARs: PPARα is expressed predominantly in the liver, heart, kidney, brown adipose and stomach mucosa, and is important for lipid catabolism.
Figure 2illustrates the mammalian 'kynurenine' pathway of tryptophan catabolism, which is prominent in liver and kidney.
Cholesterol oxides are formed in cholesterol-containing food (powdered milk, cheese, egg products) during storage [ 38 39 ] or during cholesterol catabolism in animals [ 40 ] . The level of cholesterol oxide in meat product increases significantly during the cooking process [ 39 ] . Animals can take up cholesterol oxides in a way similar to the absorption of cholesterol.
Although gamma-tocopherol promotes the cellular uptake of alpha-tocopherol, it clearly did not do so by dramatically protecting alpha-tocopherol from oxidation to alpha-tocopheryl quinone (with no further catabolism/oxidation of alpha-tocopheryl quinone).
