  A main finding of this study was that the impact of exogenous insulin on hippocampal memory and glucose utilization was GluT4-dependent. Although insulin was administered directly to the hippocampus, it is important to point out that such administration does indeed have physiological relevance; that

  2022-07-29

  

  To identify inhibitors of the Hh/GLI signaling pathway from natural resources, we have recently reported the successful construction of a cell-based screening assay system for the Hh/GLI signaling pathway (Fig. 1). This is an assay using a GLI-dependent luciferase reporter in human keratinocyte cel

  2022-07-29

  

  Cx mimetic peptides, short synthetic peptides corresponding to intracellular amino Chlorpropamide receptor sequences of diverse Cx have better specificity compared to traditional GJ blockers and openers. In particular, it was reported that Cx mimetic peptides reversibly inhibited GJ channel functio

  Presenilins in protein trafficking, proteolysis and degradation An obvious explanation for the role of presenilins and γ-secretase in protein trafficking and degradation is that many reported γ-secretase substrates are functionally involved in protein transport. For example, members of the mammal

  2022-07-29

  

  The fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFRs), including four highly conserved proteins (FGFR1-4), are important membrane sensors for extracellular signals [4]. By binding to their ligands, FGFRs are activated and can trigger various downstream intracellular signaling cascades, which is required for

  In enzyme assays, it is convenient to quantify the product formed in the enzyme reaction, where a decrease in the concentration of product indicates enzyme inhibition [35], [36], [37], [38]. In the present study, substrates were carefully chosen so that they are specific to each enzyme. Known natura

  2022-07-28

  

  In various models, histamine has been shown to induce chemotaxis. This was first appreciated over 40 years’ ago in studies with eosinophils (Clark et al., 1977). At that time, only histamine H1 and histamine H2 receptors were recognized and studies with ligands to these receptors indicated that neit

  Almost all of the series and compounds exhibited higher activities compared with the compounds in the other series. In these series, the tetrazole group was directly linked to a nitrogen atom of the amide group at the C-28 position, and the C-3 hydroxy group was either unmodified, oxidized, esterifi

  Our aim was to gain insight into mechanisms that underlie the contribution of thrombospondin-1 (TSP1) to progression of CKD. TSP1 is the most-studied member of the thrombospondin family of matricellular proteins. Previous studies have demonstrated that pharmacological suppression or genetic depletio

  We first set out to identify the minimum pharmacophore. Early structure activity relationships (SAR) indicated that the chloro substituents were not required and that the benzisoxazole moiety could be replaced by a number of other groups. A broad survey of “left-hand” hydrophobic moieties was conduc

  One of the most common dietary approaches against obesity-associated diseases is the increase in the consumption of ω3 polyunsaturated fatty acids [18], [19]. Since seminal paper by Bang and Dyeberg in which the low prevalence of coronary heart disease among the Inuit was associated with the high ma

  2022-07-27

  

  The rat model was validated with another agonist of GPR109A, acipimox. Acipimox has been shown to induce vasodilatation in man, by a mechanism dependent on the release of vasodilator prostaglandins (Edlund et al., 1990, Pontiroli et al., 1992). Acipimox is a weaker agonist of the GPR109A receptor (L

  GnRH receptor expression is altered within GnRH neuronal cells Kisspeptin failed to stimulate GnRH expression in our line of GT1-7 cells. Instead, we have found that kisspeptin increased the expression of the GnRH receptor in these Cap Firefly Luciferase (Sukhbaatar et al., 2013). Based on the re

  2022-07-27

  

  A major hurdle in purifying a membrane protein is finding a detergent that can preserve the protein, after releasing it from a given membrane, in a stable and non-aggregated state during purification steps [18,50]. The ability of various detergents used to solubilize and purify membrane proteins has

  Experiments conducted on the human parasite Leishmania major has shown that specific parasitic antigens are involved in steering the immune responses to “protective” as opposed to “disease” state (Reiner et al., 1993; Reiner and Locksley, 1995; and Sjölander et al., 1998) and that antigenic composit
