    Antioxidative Function of Liver Fatty Acid Binding Protein (2010)

    Content: Liver fatty acid binding protein (L-FABP) binds and translocates many lipophilic substrates within the cytoplasm including long chain fatty acids. Moreover it was reported that L-FABP possesses antioxidative properties within hepatocytes. However, the mechanism of L-FABP's antioxidative activity remains to be determined. Peroxisome proliferator activated receptor (PPAR) agonists and antagonists can regulate L-FABP levels. However, it needs to be investigated how PPAR agonists and antagonists regulate L-FABP expression. And whether the altered expression of L-FABP by these agents will affect its antioxidative properties within hepatocytes remains unclear. In this thesis we employed clofibrate (PPARα agonist), MK886 (PPARα antagonist), and GW9662 (PPARγ antagonist) to elucidate the mechanism whereby PPAR regulate L-FABP expression and what effect such expression has on the antioxidant activity of L-FABP in CRL-1548 hepatoma cells. Clofibrate served to upregulate L-FABP expression while MK886 and GW9662 were employed to inhibit L-FABP expression. The principal findings revealed that clofibrate treatment enhanced L-FABP mRNA stability and transcription, which resulted in increased L-FABP levels, while MK866 and GW9662 reduced these levels. We also demonstrated that increases in L-FABP levels were associated with reduced cytosolic reactive oxygen species (ROS), while L-FABP siRNA knockdown resulted in a decrease in L-FABP expression and an associated increase in ROS levels. The antioxidant mechanism of recombinant rat L-FABP in the presence of a hydrophilic (AAPH) and lipophilic (AMVN) free radical generators was also evaluated. Recombinant rat L-FABP was produced in E. coli and its amino acid sequence was confirmed by MALDI QqTOF MS. Antioxidant activity was assayed using the thiobarbituric acid method. Ascorbic acid served as a positive control for the AAPH reaction while α-tocopherol was used as a positive control for the AMVN reaction. The antioxidant activity of recombinant L-FABP was greater when free radicals were generated with AAPH than AMVN. Oxidative modification of L-FABP included up to five methionine oxidative peptides with a total of 80 Da mass shift compared to native L-FABP. These findings suggest that the mechanism of L-FABP's antioxidant activity involved the reaction of methionine with free radicals. In conclusion, L-FABP expression is regulated by PPAR agonists and antagonists through transcription and mRNA stability. Moreover, methionine residues appear to play an important role in the antioxidative activity of L-FABP. ; October 2010

    Content: This timely text overviews theories, concepts, and contexts relating to the emerging field of behavioral economics. Research theories and data gathered across psychology, sociology, marketing, finance, and other relevant disciplines are synthesized to identify and elaborate on the defining aspects of consumer economic wellbeing. Against a background of consumer rights and responsibilities, the book discusses consumer phenomena of earning, spending, saving, and borrowing and their contributions to improving (and in some cases to worsening) economic wellness. In addition, the author presents effective ways consumers can be encouraged to navigate key economic environments such as the media, advertising, and the internet, and to change negative financial behaviors. Among the featured topics: Historical perspective on consumer economic wellbeing. Consumer financial capability and economic wellbeing. The role of government in promoting consumer economic wellbeing. Corporate social responsibility. Theories of online shopping and e-banking. Desirable and undesirable consumption behavior. Consumer Economic Wellbeing clarifies issues and provides insights for researchers in the fields of consumer psychology and economics, psychologists and mental health professionals, and policy analysts. It is also useful as a text for college courses in related subjects

    Content: In this book, new results or developments from different research backgrounds and application fields are put together to provide a wide and useful viewpoint on these headed research problems mentioned above, focused on the motion planning problem of mobile ro-bots. These results cover a large range of the problems that are frequently encountered in the motion planning of mobile robots both in theoretical methods and practical applications including obstacle avoidance methods, navigation and localization techniques, environmental modelling or map building methods, and vision signal processing etc. Different methods such as potential fields, reactive behaviours, neural-fuzzy based methods, motion control methods and so on are studied. Through this book and its references, the reader will definitely be able to get a thorough overview on the current research results for this specific topic in robotics. The book is intended for the readers who are interested and active in the field of robotics and especially for those who want to study and develop their own methods in motion/path planning or control for an intelligent robotic system
