We have developed a new sensitive and specific nonradioisotope assay method to measure the activity of HMG-CoA reductase, the rate-controlling enzyme in the cholesterol biosynthetic pathway. This method was based upon a stable isotope dilution technique by liquid chromatography-tandem mass

Monoterpenes have multiple pharmacological effects on the metabolism of mevalonate. Geraniol, a dietary monoterpene, has in vitro and in vivo anti-tumor activity against several cell lines. We have studied the effects of geraniol on growth, fatty-acid metabolism, and mevalonate metabolism

Mevalonic acid (MVA) is synthesized at an early and rate-limiting step in the biosynthesis of cholesterol by the enzyme hydroxymethylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase, and is a useful measure of statin efficacy or treatment. A liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)

The fungus Fusarium fujikuroi IMI58289 emits a complex pattern of volatile terpenoids including two major compounds, the sesquiterpene alcohol α-acorenol and the diterpene ent-kaurene. ent-Kaurene is the precursor for the phytohormone gibberellic acid (GA(3)) and is produced from geranylgeranyl diphosphate

Statins are the most widely used drugs for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia. In spite of their overall favorable safety profile, they do possess serious myotoxic potential, whose molecular origin has remained equivocal. Here, we demonstrate in cultivated myoblasts and skeletal
