Disease relevance of Acox1

 

High impact information on Acox1

 

Chemical compound and disease context of Acox1

  • In the livers a hepatomegaly, an induction of cytochrome P-450 IVA1 and induction of the activity of palmitoyl-CoA oxidase and carnitine acetyl-CoA transferase was found to be 180%, 1080%, 1300% and 1700% of control values, respectively [10].
  • Dose-related increases in organ (liver and kidney) weight/body weight ratios, individual cell necrosis in the liver, and hepatic microsomal NADPH cytochrome c reductase and peroxisomal palmitoyl-CoA oxidase and catalase activities were found in both the dosed-fed and gavage groups [11].
 

Biological context of Acox1

  • BACKGROUND: Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) belong to the nuclear hormone receptor superfamily and regulate many genes of the proteins involved in lipid metabolism, including peroxisomal acyl-CoA oxidase (AOX) [12].
  • RESULTS: Employing the peroxisome proliferator-responsive enhancer of the rat AOX gene, we analysed the minimal sequence requirements for enhancer activity and PPARalpha/RXRalpha binding [12].
  • The administration of large doses of LT3 to normal rats decreased the peroxisomal ciprofibrate AOX enzyme induction with a marked concomitant decrease in the AOX mRNA level [13].
  • These results suggest that H2O2 generated by AOX overexpression in immortalized fibroblasts leads to apoptosis, and the extent and duration of H2O2 and possibly other DNA damaging reactive oxygen species generated by the overexpression of peroxisomal AOX can influence apoptosis and neoplastic transformation [4].
  • Therefore, alpha-linolenic perilla oil exerts a similar effect to fish oil in stimulating hepatic activity and gene expression of AOX by enriching long chain n-3 PUFA in hepatic membrane fraction, which can partly account for the reduction of postprandial triglyceridemia [14].

Associations of Acox1 with chemical compounds

 

Regulatory relationships of Acox1

  • Enzyme measurements made on the livers of the treated rats showed that peroxisomal palmitoyl CoA oxidase activity was markedly increased over control whereas peroxisomal catalase activity was not [20].
