Functions and Role of the Fatty acid synthase Pathway and its End Products

In highly lipogenic tissues such as the liver, adipose and lactating breast, the Fatty acid synthase (FAS) catalyzed fatty acid synthesis pathway has three main functions: 1) the conversion of excess caloric intake […]

Ethanol and Corticotropin-Releasing Factor

Ethanol and Corticotropin-Releasing Factor

Converging evidence from numerous investigations suggests that the role of corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) in modulating the neurobiological effects of ethanol is dependent on the duration of exposure. Generally, initial or acute exposures […]
