  2022-05-21

  

  Elevated methylglyoxal levels also contribute to carbonyl stress, cytotoxicity, DNA damage, apoptosis and cell death. These mechanisms may be important for normal aging of the nervous system as well as for the development of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease wher

  2022-05-21

  

  Our overall goal is to develop selective compounds for low-affinity/high-capacity transporters inhibitors (i.e. OCT1–3 and PMAT), and provide the field with much needed, specific pharmacological tools to study these transporters. In our initial efforts, we synthesized halogen substituted analogs and

  LPCs have been previously described as potential anti-diabetic factors due to stimulation of secretory activity from the isolated rodent pancreas, L-type cells, ands insulin-producing cell lines, with LPC 18:1 as the main structure of interest (Soga et al., 2005, Sakamoto et al., 2006, Overton et al

  2022-05-21

  

  Introduction l-Glutamate is a major excitatory neurotransmitter in the mammalian central nervous system (CNS) that contributes not only to fast synaptic neurotransmission, but also to complex physiological processes like memory, learning, plasticity, and neuronal cell death [30], [81]. Glutamate is

  2022-05-21

  

  Historically, a role for the prefrontal cortex in spatial working memory has been repeatedly claimed (for review, see Kolb, 1984). Older studies using traditional, non-fibre-sparing lesions (e.g. aspiration lesions) often resulted in spatial alternation deficits. In contrast, more recent studies emp

  2022-05-21

  

  cAMP is a key secondary messenger which transduces extracellular signals at glucagon receptors to intracellular effector molecules. cAMP-protein kinase A (PKA) pathway increases the gene expression of enzymes including phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) and glucose 6-phosphatase (G6Pase) whic

  In patients with type 2 diabetes glucagon receptor antagonism led lowered fasting glucose however not postprandial glucose levels [9], which may reflect that glucagon may not be of particular importance for the diabetic hyperglycemia upon a meal. Current glucagon receptor antagonists have however be

  The GLI code The GLI code model [21], [22] considers the total GLI function as a balance of positive activator (GLIA) and negative repressive (GLIR) activities with GLI1 being mostly a positive transcription factor and GLI3 mostly a transcriptional repressor. The GLIA:GLIR ratio is thus critical,

  Given the important role of Cx43 in maintaining the function of gap junctions, to investigate the effects of stress on Cx43 may be an important step towards understanding the mechanism underlying CUS-induced dysfunction of gap junctions. Corticosterone (CORT), as an important stress hormone, has bee

  The role of cell-to-cell interactions in coordinating the cells’ behaviour to ensure an appropriate anterior pituitary hormone response is receiving increasing attention. Anterior pituitary DPQ interact with neighbouring cells through junctional complexes. As their name implies, the complexed are co

  The importance of T-currents in the control of thalamic GABA synaptic function is also demonstrated by the presence of T-channel-dependent long-term synaptic plasticity, either potentiation (LTP) or depression (LTD). Indeed, in the associative posterior thalamic medial nucleus, an LTP of the GABAerg

  The receptor binding assay used in our previous study demonstrated that propofol competitively binds to FPR1, thus blocking the downstream signal transduction of FPR1 and inhibiting neutrophil immune activities [8]. In this study, we assessed the pharmacological action of fMMYALF in the presence of

  To investigate an involvement of GPR120 and GPR40 in the enhancement of cell motile activity of MG-63 cells, highly migratory (MG63-R7) Merimepodib synthesis were established from MG-63 cells (Fig. 2A). The expression level of GPR120 gene was significantly higher in MG63-R7 cells than in MG-63 cell
