Aguirre, C. A.; Castillo, V. A.; Llanos Silva, Miguel (Nature Publishing, 2015)Type 1 cannabinoid receptors (CB1R) modulate energy balance; thus, their premature activation may result in altered physiology of tissues involved in such a function. Activation of CB1R mainly occurs after binding to the ...

Castaño Moreno, Erika; Castillo, Valeska; Peñailillo, Reyna; Llanos Silva, Miguel; Valenzuela Báez, Rodrigo; Ronco Macchiavello, Ana (Elsevier, 2020)Micronutrients (folates and vitamin B12) and long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFAs) are linked through the one carbon cycle. We studied the effects of pre and postnatal high FA/low B12 diets (HFLB12) on hepatic ...

Peñailillo, Reyna; Guajardo, Angélica; Llanos Silva, Miguel; Hirsch Birn, Sandra; Ronco Macchiavello, Ana María (Public Library Science, 2015)In the placenta, 11 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 (11 beta-HSD2) limits fetal glucocorticoid exposure and its inhibition has been associated to low birth weight. Its expression, encoded by the HSD11B2 gene is ...

Rodriguez, Juan; Monsalves Álvarez, Matías; Henriquez, Sandra; Llanos Silva, Miguel; Troncoso Cotal, Rodrigo (Elsevier Science, 2016-11)Glucocorticoids are involved in several responses triggered by a variety of environmental and physiological stimuli. These hormones have a wide-range of regulatory effects in organisms. Synthetic glucocorticoids are ...

Ronco Macchiavello, Ana María; Llanos Silva, Miguel; Valladares Boasi, Luis (1993)The effect of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) on intact Leydig cell phospholipid methylation was studied. Hormonal stimulation of rat Leydig cells increased the incorporation of[methyl-3H]methionine into phospholipids ...

Ronco Macchiavello, Ana María; Garrido, Fernando; Llanos Silva, Miguel (ELSEVIER, 2006-06-01)Recently, we reported the presence of higher levels of metallothionein (MT) in placentas of smokers compared to non-smokers. In the present study, we designed experiments to separate and evaluate two isoforms of NIT (MT-1 ...
