  In spite of the similarities of caffeine's effects in L929 cells and erythrocytes, a major difference can be identified in the magnitude of inhibition (35% versus 90%). It initially seems reasonable to conclude from this finding that the reduced magnitude of caffeine inhibition in L929 cells is simp

  2021-10-16

  

  A number of GCK activators for treating T2D have been developed and tested but not progressed successfully from clinical trials into therapy [45]. Our observations suggest that increased risk of hypoglycemia might be possible, particularly if drugs penetrate into brain. A further possibility is that

  Ghrelin interactions with the opioid system The endogenous opioid system is an important regulator of appetite and metabolism (Bodnar, 2017, Nogueiras et al., 2012). In fact, several pharmacological studies have demonstrated that agonists of the three opioid receptors (mu, kappa, and delta) incre

  Some, but not all, GSIs inhibit signal peptide peptidases as well, though this has not been systemically studied [36], [41]. When considering biological activities of various GSIs this is an important and understudied caveat that could influence both biological response as well as potential toxiciti

  Activation of FXR or TGR5 has overlapping but also differing effects on metabolic regulation and inflammation [1]. In this report, we demonstrate that in addition to preventing the progression of obesity, NAFLD, and atherosclerosis, activation of BA receptors can also promote regression of these com

  We used a culture model of human erythropoiesis that recapitulates all developmental stages [24] to screen a focused set of lncRNAs for potential contribution to this program. We found induction of lncRNA Fas-antisense 1 (Fas-AS1 or Saf) during RBC maturation and demonstrate that essential erythroid

  2021-10-15

  

  As an inflammatory mediator, histamine plays a pivotal role in nociceptive processes in both the central and peripheral nervous systems (Gemkow et al., 2009; Hough & Rice, 2011; Tiligada et al., 2009). In this respect, the participation of H3Rs in modulating pain, especially neuropathic pain, has at

  Hh signaling pathway plays an essential role in the regulation of invertebrate and vertebrate tissue development and metabolic homeostasis. Components of Hh signaling pathway have been identified in succession, including Hh ligands, membrane protein receptors, cytoplasmic components and transcriptio

  Considering that TGF-β1 plays a pivotal role in inflammation, renal fibrosis, cell growth, differentiation, and apoptosis, it has been viewed as a vital mediator in kidney disease [49,50]. Studies have demonstrated that TGF-β1 is upregulated in both human and experimental kidney diseases [51,52]. TG

  The HCV NS3/4A protease consists of two subunits, NS3 and NS4A. NS3 comprises an N-terminal serine protease domain and a C-terminal RNA helicase domain [12]. NS4A acts as a cofactor, which ties the holoenzyme complex to an intracellular membrane compartment. The presence of the central region of NS4

  Prolonged sGC oxidative inhibition occurs in many diseases [46,[86], [87], [88]]. Keeping sGC membrane-bound and functional under conditions of high oxidative stress requires a mechanism for restoring oxidized sGC (Fe3+) heme iron to its reduced (Fe2+) state. Without this redox regulation, the sGC e

  Results and discussion GSTP1 is a Phase II cytoprotective and detoxifying enzyme. Due to its role in the detoxification of numerous endogenous and exogenous chemical agents (with electrophilic functional groups), individuals with Ile105Val mutation in this gene show enhanced risk of atopic disord

  Much of the understanding of this system has come from several studies focussed on CB1. A significant amount of research has demonstrated that activation of the CB1 receptor by cannabinoid ligands stimulates food intake [10], reduces gastrointestinal motility [11], and increases lipogenesis [12] and

  Discovery of GPR109A The murine niacin receptor, protein upregulated in macrophages by interferon-γ (PUMA-G), was identified as a G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) expressed in adipocytes and spleen [22], [23]. This finding suggested a role of this receptor in macrophage function [24]. In 2003, t
