Recent studies reported the important role of autophagy in follicular development. However, underlying molecular mechanisms remain elusive. In this study, we investigated effect follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) on mouse granulosa cells (MGCs). Results indicated that was induced by FSH, which is known to be dominant regulating development and cell (GC) proliferation. The activation mammalian target rapamycin (mTOR), a master regulator autophagy, inhibited during process MGC autophagy....

The c-Jun N-terminal protein kinase (JNK) plays an important role in the regulation of cell apoptosis. Forkhead box O (FoxO) transcription factors are involved diverse biological processes, including cellular metabolism, apoptosis, and cycle. However, JNK/FoxO1 pathway process apoptosis induced by oxidative stress remains to be elucidated. Here, we demonstrated that JNK activity significantly increased response mouse follicular granulosa cells (MGCs). SP600125, a selective inhibitor,...

In obesity and diabetes, intramuscular fat (IMF) content correlates markedly with insulin sensitivity, which makes IMF manipulation an area of therapeutic interest. Melatonin, important circadian rhythm-regulating hormone, reportedly regulates deposition, but its effects on different types adipose vary. Little is known about the role melatonin in deposition. Here, using preadipocytes pigs, we investigated to determine whether affects or We found that greatly inhibited porcine preadipocyte...

Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) plays an important role in the treatment of disease associated with muscle insulin resistance which is characterized by various factors, such as intramuscular triglyceride (IMT) content. Studies have also shown that FGF21 inhibits synthesis vivo. However, precise mechanism whereby regulates metabolism fat (IMF), may influence sensitivity, not clearly understood. In order to understand IMF deposition, we performed overexpression cells stable transfection....
