1 16790840 Increased nuclear sterol-regulatory element binding protein-1 (SREBP-1) correlated with enhanced expression of Elovl-6, Delta(5)D, Delta(6)D, and Delta(9)D.
2 16790840 Suppression of Elovl-6 and Delta(9)D expression in livers of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats and high fat-fed glucose-intolerant mice correlated with low levels of nuclear SREBP-1.
3 16790840 In leptin-deficient obese mice (Lep(ob/ob)), increased SREBP-1 and MLX nuclear content correlated with the induction of Elovl-5, Elovl-6, and Delta(9)D expression and the massive accumulation of monounsaturated fatty acids (18:1,n-7 and 18:1,n-9) in neutral lipids.
4 19259639 Protection against diet-induced insulin resistance in Elovl6 (-/-) mice is partially due to restoration of hepatic insulin receptor substrate-2 and suppression of hepatic protein kinase C epsilon, resulting in restoration of Akt phosphorylation.
