Ablation of LAT2 Transporter Causes Intramuscular Glutamine Accumulation and Inhibition of Fasting‐Induced Proteolysis by Meritxell Espino‐Guarch (22565774)

“…The absence of LAT2 led to increased intramuscular glutamine (Gln) accumulation (6.3‐fold, <i>p</i> < 0.0001), accompanied by a reduction in skeletal muscle proteolysis during fasting (0.61‐fold, <i>p</i> = 0.0004) primarily due to decreased proteasomal and autophagic activity (0.45‐fold, <i>p</i> = 0.016 and 0.7‐fold, <i>p</i> = 0.002, respectively). …”

Small molecule inhibitors of α-synuclein oligomers identified by targeting early dopamine-mediated motor impairment in C. elegans by Kevin S. Chen (9201767)
