  2022-04-12

  

  The glucokinase protein sequence is most closely related to the C-terminal domain of 100kD hexokinases, thus for glucokinase to evolve from a larger hexokinase ancestor it must have lost its N-terminal kinase domain. The genetic mechanism by which this occurred is currently unknown. Here we propose

  2022-04-12

  

  The biological actions of ghrelin are mainly due to its interaction with GHSR-1a (Howard et al., 1996). The pharmacological properties of D-Lys3-GHRP-6, a selective antagonist of GHSR-1a, have been extensively studied (Beck et al., 2004, Benso et al., 2007, Sibilia et al., 2006). To study the recept

  2022-04-12

  

  The presence of ghrelin's mRNA in the eye and the presence of ghrelin in the aqueous humor, along with a decrease of its levels in glaucoma, suggest a local role for this peptide in the ocular tissue [8], [16], [18]. There is no available data regarding the presence of GHSR-1 in the anterior segment

  2022-04-12

  

  A model substance often used in the studies of oxidative processes in erythrocytes is tert-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BHP), which, being lipophilic, passes easily across the erythrocyte membrane [9]. In erythrocytes treated with t-BHP (0.1–3mM) for less than 1h, a dramatic decline in the reduced glutath

  2022-04-12

  

  The mechanism by which Piezo1 acts in the regulation of RBC volume is not firmly established. Its curved structure implies that it is activated by an increase in membrane tension (11), a mechanism indicated by electrophysiological measurements (16). However, the RBC membrane mechanics at its physiol

  Cytokines and hormones influence both gap junctions [106] and endocrine activity in the pituitary [3]. Long-term treatment (2 h) with the proinflammatory cytokines interleukin-1β (Il-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) transiently increases Cx43 expression and cell coupling in TtT/GF tipiracil [

  2022-04-12

  

  Our own search towards aryl-imidazole derived GSMs led to the discovery of the benzimidazole derivative (). It is one of the most potent GSMs to date, suffering however from sub-optimal drug-like properties. More recently, we have described the design and synthesis of bicyclic triazolo-derivatives,

  In this review we will highlight how the functional impact of GABA receptors activation in thalamic neurons far exceeds the traditional “shunting” effect and shapes the whole thalamic network excitability. We will show how GABA released during either tonic or burst firing of GABAergic thalamic neuro

  In a follow up study, the same research group further characterized FFA4 involvement in DU145 and PC-3 cancer cell lines by demonstrating that the anti-proliferative and anti-migration activities of FFA4 require the presence of LPA1 receptor (LPA1R), suggesting a mechanism consistent with negative c

  We then explored the possible mechanisms by which integrin α5β1 was involved in the PHEV proliferation process. Normally, the virus activates integrin and induces its downstream protein activation to promote its own invasion and proliferation. Human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16) binds to heparan su

  Experimental Results and discussion One of the major challenges of oral drug delivery via nanocarriers is the fairly low efficiency of crossing the intestinal barrier. While there is the possibility of a paracellular transport for polar substances below 1000 Dalton [26], the key mechanism of o

  Yap and Taz may regulate epicardial cell proliferation, EMT, and fate determination via multiple mechanisms. In this study, we provide evidence that Yap/Taz function in part by directly modulating Tbx18 and Wt1 expression. Members of the T-box family of transcription factors regulate a variety of de
