13. Adhesion of Acinetobacter venetianus to Diesel Fuel Droplets Studied with In Situ Electrochemical and Molecular Probes
The adhesion of a recently described species, Acinetobacter venetianus VE-C3 (F. Di Cello, M. Pepi, F. Baldi, and R. Fani, Res. Microbiol. 148:237–249, 1997), to diesel fuel (a mixture of C12 to C28 n-alkanes) and n-hexadecane was studied and compared to that of Acinetobacter sp. strain RAG-1, which is known to excrete the emulsifying lipopolysaccharide, e

14. AMP kinase is required for mitochondrial biogenesis in skeletal muscle in response to chronic energy deprivation
Mitochondrial biogenesis is a critical adaptation to chronic energy deprivation, yet the signaling mechanisms responsible for this response are poorly understood. To examine the role of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), an evolutionarily conserved fuel sensor, in mitochondrial biogenesis we studied transgenic mice expressing a dominant-negative mutant of

15. The AMP-activated protein kinase α2 catalytic subunit controls whole-body insulin sensitivity
AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is viewed as a fuel sensor for glucose and lipid metabolism. To better understand the physiological role of AMPK, we generated a knockout mouse model in which the AMPKα2 catalytic subunit gene was inactivated. AMPKα2–/– mice presented high glucose levels in the fed period and during an oral glucose challenge associat
