    Western blot analysis of p-mTOR, total mTOR, p-TFEB, total TFEB, and β-actin in shNT or shTAL-transfected MN9D cells treated with either PBS or L-Leucine (100 μM; 36 h), a mTORC1 activator.

    제품 설명

    In Vitro

    L-Leucine (10 mM) treatment impairs endocrine progenitor cell development[1].
    In E13.5 rat pancreatic explants, in absence of added L-Leucine, Ngn3 mRNA levels increased after 1 day of culture, peaked on day 3, and then decreased. When L-Leucine is added, a dramatic decrease is observed in Ngn3 mRNA levels. This decrease in Ngn3 mRNA levels was paralleled by a decrease in the number of Ngn3-expressing cells (4728±408 vs. 959±28; P<0.01). Finally, L-Leucine also caused a dose-dependent repressive effect on the mRNA levels of the three genes, namely Ngn3, its target Insm1, and insulin[1].
    Leucine stimulates protein synthesis in skeletal muscle of neonatal pigs by enhancing mTORC1 activation. L-Leucine increases intracellular HIF-1α levels and activates the HIF-1α signaling pathway, and these two effects are mediated by the mTOR signaling pathway. This process results in Ngn3 repression and, consequently, decreases β-cell differentiation[1].
    L-leucine stimulates mTORC1 by through a mechanism that involves the leucyl tRNA synthase promoting the activity of GTP activating proteins that act on mTORC1[2].

    In Vivo

    L-Leucine (24 g/kg diet) combined with Resveratrol (12.5 mg/kg diet) to diet-induced obese (DIO) mice increases adipose Sirt1 activity[2].
    Combination results in significant reductions in body weight, weight gain, visceral adipose tissue mass, fat oxidation and heat production in mice[2].

    MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

    Animal Model: Six-week-old male c57/BL6 mice (fed a high-fat diet with fat to induce obesity)[1]
    Dosage: 24 g/kg diet; Resveratrol (low dose; 12.5 mg/kg diet)
    Administration: 6 weeks
    Result: Treatment in combination with Resveratrol (low dose; 12.5 mg/kg diet) resulted in significant reductions in body weight, weight gain, visceral adipose tissue mass, fat oxidation and heat production, and an associated decrease in respiratory exchange ratio (RER), especially in the dark (feeding) cycle.

    Help & FAQs
    • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

      Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
