The phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) inhibitor, 3-mercaptopicolinic acid (3-MPA), induces myogenic differentiation in C2C12 cells (2020)
Journal Article
Brearley, M. C., Daniel, Z. C., Loughna, P. T., Parr, T., & Brameld, J. M. (2020). The phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) inhibitor, 3-mercaptopicolinic acid (3-MPA), induces myogenic differentiation in C2C12 cells. Scientific Reports, 10, Article 22177. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-020-79324-9

Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) is a gluconeogenic enzyme with a cytosolic (Pck1/PEPCK-C) and mitochondrial (Pck2/PEPCK-M) isoform. Here we investigate the effect of 3-mercaptopicolinic acid (3-MPA), a PEPCK inhibitor, on C2C12 muscle cells...

The effects of exogenous xylanase supplementation on the in vivo generation of xylooligosaccharides and monosaccharides in broilers fed a wheat-based diet (2020)
Journal Article
Dale, T., Hannay, I., Bedford, M. R., Tucker, G. A., Brameld, J., & Parr, T. (2020). The effects of exogenous xylanase supplementation on the in vivo generation of xylooligosaccharides and monosaccharides in broilers fed a wheat-based diet. British Poultry Science, 61(4), 471-481. https://doi.org/10.1080/00071668.2020.1751805

1. This study aimed to quantify xylanase-induced changes in soluble monosaccharides, xylooligosaccharides (XOS) and volatile fatty acid (VFA) contents of the different sections of the GIT and whether these relate to altered bird performance.
2. An... Read More about The effects of exogenous xylanase supplementation on the in vivo generation of xylooligosaccharides and monosaccharides in broilers fed a wheat-based diet.

Leucine and mTORc1 act independently to regulate 2-deoxyglucose uptake in L6 myotubes (2020)
Journal Article
Yin, Q., Brameld, J. M., Parr, T., & Murton, A. J. (2020). Leucine and mTORc1 act independently to regulate 2-deoxyglucose uptake in L6 myotubes. Amino Acids, 52, 477–486. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00726-020-02829-0

© 2020, The Author(s). Chronic mTORc1 hyperactivation via obesity-induced hyperleucinaemia has been implicated in the development of insulin resistance, yet the direct impact of leucine on insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in muscle cells remains unc...
