How nutrients influence it

Every nutrient with a recorded effect on this component, credited to the nutrient that acted rather than the chapter that recorded it. Open a nutrient to see the findings and the conditions they were measured under.

How nutrients reach it in more than one step

Chains of two or more recorded steps that end here, grouped by the nutrient they start from. Each step is a separate finding, so a chain is a route a mechanism could take, not proof that it does.

What acts on it

  1. Acetaminophen produced a biphasic response in the N-acyl ethanolamide and PPAR alpha system, with decreased PPAR alpha expression after 6 hours followed by a generalised increase of system components including PPAR alpha, NAPE-PLD and fatty acid amide hydrolase and of the N-acyl ethanolamides after 24 hours, confirmed in mice where gene expression of PPAR alpha and fatty acid amide hydrolase fell at 6 hours and rose by 24 hours, repeated administration decreased both and increased liver N-acyl ethanolamides with complete restoration after 15 days of rest, immunohistochemistry in a human case of acetaminophen hepatotoxicity confirmed the decrements, and damage-related alterations after repeated administration were aggravated in PPAR alpha-deficient mice.

    Follows a lipid signalling system across cells, mice, knockouts and one human case. The biphasic time course is the informative part and complicates any single-timepoint reading.
