  2024-03-01

  

  An alternative to the agonist or antagonist potential in drug discovery is the positive allosteric modulator (PAM) approach, which can augment the normal processes of neurotransmission as opposed to directly replacing or antagonizing them. PAMs are thought to bind to sites that are distinct from the

  In addition to the above-mentioned synaptic mechanisms, the serotonergic system also has a critical role in the antidepressant effects of mGlu2/3 receptor antagonists. Indeed, we previously reported that mGlu2/3 receptor antagonists increased the firing rate of serotonin neurons in the dorsal raphe

  Autophagy in the central nervous system The autophagic process appears to be very important for the cells of the central nervous system, as it allows to maintain the functional integrity of the nervous tissue. Indeed macroautophagy is involved in the regulation of homeostasis of the CNS, playing

  2024-02-29

  

  The ambiguity surrounding the role played by the 15-LOXs in malignant biological processes stems also from the limitations of current animal models, and especially the usage of its 12/15-LOX murine homolog, which can also catalyze the production of 12-HETE. Indeed, the proinflammatory effect of 12-H

  2024-02-29

  

  The 15-LOX hydroxide metabolites are converted to secondary lipid mediators such as lipoxin A4 from 15-HETE and protectin D1/resolvin D1 from 17-HDoHE [45] (Fig. S3). Importantly, all of these secondary lipid mediators have anti-inflammatory and pro-resolving properties [46], [47], [48]. Lipoxin A4

  2024-02-29

  

  Introduction Arginase deficiency is a rare metabolic disorder resulting from a loss of arginase 1 (ARG1), the final enzyme in the urea cycle, which is the major pathway for the detoxification of ammonia in terrestrial mammals. ARG1 is expressed most prevalently in hepatocytes and red blood cells.

  The role of apelin in hepatic diseases The involvement of the apelin/APJ system in liver physiology and pathology has been proven in numerous studies (Table 6). For instance, in the experiment of Emam et al. [63] on rats suffering from hepatic injury, apelin decreased the levels of ALT, AST and L

  Materials and methods Results Discussion Recently, we showed that stimulation of TRPM3 and TRPC6 channels triggers a signaling cascade leading to the activation of AP-1 [11], [12], [13], [15]. The objective of this study was to investigate whether stimulation of TRPV1 channels leads to an a

  2024-02-29

  

  The androgen receptor gene (AR) is located on the X-chromosome and consists of eight exons in humans (Brown et al., 1989; Kuiper et al., 1989). The similar gene structure in mice, monotremes and marsupials indicates AR is highly conserved in mammals (Choong et al., 1998; Faber et al., 1991; He et al

  It was reported that oral administration of CSZ to C57BL/6J mice significantly improved spatial learning and memory, and prevented Aβ-induced immunoresponse in Aβ25-35-injected mice. However, post-treatment with CSZ after Aβ25-35 administration, when Aβ was already accumulated, did not prevent Aβ-in

  Results Discussion Cardiac dysfunction, common complication of severe sepsis, is one cause of death in intensive care units. Accumulated evidence revealed the regulatory effect of autophagy on sepsis-induced cardiac dysfunction [15], [22], although the mechanisms in young and aging are not elu

  The SMN1 and SMN2 promoters are regulated by transcription factors such as E26 transformation-specific domain containing protein (ELK-1) and cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB) 58, 59. Compared with WT animals, mice with SMA exhibit increased and decreased ELK-1 and CREB phosphorylation, r

  Following activation of mGluRs, GRIP-stabilized AMPARs appear to be the primary target for endocytosis. Consistent with this model, we find that using siRNA to reduce GRIP1/2 expression blocks the AMPAR internalization and the synaptic depression mediated by mGluRs. Reductions in GRIP1/2 expression,

  In our previous study we found that the total activity of aldehyde dehydrogenase in cancer PF-03084014 of RCC is at the same level as in normal renal tissue [10]. These findings are similar to our results in serum patients with renal cancer. There is no significant difference between ALDH activity

  The importance of insulin in controlling lipolysis and fat mass is further emphasized by mouse models with alterations in the insulin signaling pathway of adipocytes. For example, mice with a tamoxifen-inducible knockout of the insulin receptor in mature adipocytes reveal a substantial decrease of a
