Newest firstBarth Syndrome (BTHS) is a debilitating X-linked genetic disorder caused by mutations in the gene encoding TAFAZZIN, an enzyme responsible for the remodeling of cardiolipin. While cyclic neutropenia is a well-recognized immunological feature of this disease, emerging evidence suggests that lymphopenia may also occur. The objective of this study was to examine the effects of cannabidiol (CBD) on growth, cardiolipin…
Open article record in new tab ↗N-Acylethanolamines (NAEs) are a class of lipid mediators that consist of long-chain fatty acids condensed with ethanolamine and exert various biological activities depending on their fatty acyl groups. NAEs are biosynthesized from membrane phospholipids by two-step reactions or alternative multi-step reactions. In the first reaction, N-acyltransferases transfer an acyl chain from the sn-1 position of phospholipid…
Open article record in new tab ↗Barth syndrome (BTHS) is caused by mutations in the TAZ gene encoding the cardiolipin remodeling enzyme, Tafazzin. The study objective was to quantitatively examine growth characteristics and mitochondrial morphology of transformed lymphoblast cell lines derived from five patients with BTHS relative to five healthy controls, as well as the therapeutic potential of oleoylethanolamide (OEA) and linoleoylethanolamide…
Arachidonylethanolamide (anandamide) acts as an endogenous ligand of cannabinoid receptors, while other N-acylethanolamines (NAEs), such as palmitylethanolamide and oleylethanolamide, show analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and appetite-suppressing effects through other receptors. In mammalian tissues, NAEs, including anandamide, are produced from glycerophospholipid via N-acyl-phosphatidylethanolamine (NAPE). The ɛ is…
Land plants produce diverse flavonoids for growth, survival, and reproduction. Chalcone synthase is the first committed enzyme of the flavonoid biosynthetic pathway and catalyzes the production of 2',4,4',6'-tetrahydroxychalcone (THC). However, it also produces other polyketides, including p-coumaroyltriacetic acid lactone (CTAL), because of the derailment of the chalcone-producing pathway. This promiscuity of CHS…
