  2022-08-23

  

  Glucagon was described as an insulin secretagogue as early as 1965 (Samols et al., 1965). Our studies extend these findings by demonstrating that this is a direct effect mediated by distinct receptors in the mouse pancreas. Previous experiments on isolated β ceramidase clearly show that glucagon is

• The regulation of gap junction

  2022-08-23

  

  The regulation of gap junction-connexin-mediated activities may be achieved through action on the channel gating properties (membrane voltage, pH, interaction with junctional and cytoskeletal proteins, Ca2+ and K+ concentrations, etc) or on the trafficking, turnover and localization of connexins. Sh

  2022-08-23

  

  NO has been shown to be necessary for long-term potentiation (LTP) of GABAergic neurons in the amygdala (Lange et al., 2012), the hippocampus (Zhuo et al., 1993), the ventral tegmental area (VTA) (Nugent et al., 2009), and the spinal cord (Fenselau et al., 2011). NO is also known to increase GABA re

  Materials and Methods Results Discussion In the present study, we investigated the postnatal expression of the two GABA receptor subunits, GABAAα1 and GABAB1, in order to determine the differential expression and regional distribution pattern of them between right and left hippocampi in the

  2022-08-23

  

  Isoflurane administration during i.t. procedures can complicate the interpretation of our results since isoflurane has been shown to have both neuroprotective and neurotoxic effects (Jiang et al., 2017). Isoflurane pretreatment has been implicated as having protective effects in ischemia in animal m

• uPAR promotes cell associated proteolysis by binding to uPA

  2022-08-23

  

  uPAR promotes cell-associated proteolysis by binding to uPA which locally converts plasminogen into active plasmin [10]. Ligand-engaged uPAR also acts as a potent regulator of cell migration and matrix attachment. Being a membrane receptor, uPAR needs to interact with extracellular matrix (ECM) prot

  The molecular formula of 2 was determined to be C20H26O5 on the basis of HRESI (−) MS data at m/z 345.1705 [M–H]− (calcd 345.1702 for C20H25O5). Detailed analysis of the 1H and 13C NMR data of 2 revealed similar fragments compared with desoxyarticulin (Faini et al., 1987) except for an additional hy

  Materials and methods Results Discussion Dex has been shown to induce apoptosis in osteoblastic cell lines (MC3T3-E1, UAMS-32 cell) [24], [25]. Consistent with previous reports, we find high-dose Dex (1 or 5 μM) can induce apoptosis of MC3T3-E1 Palmitoylethanolamide within 24 h as evidenced

  Finally, we find that in the absence of Aurora B, Sgo1 is delocalized from centromeres and found along chromosome arms, as reported after depletion of Bub1 (Kitajima et al., 2005, Riedel et al., 2006). The increased arm cohesion observed in the absence of Aurora B activity is dependent on the presen

• Glutathione S transferases constitute a family

  2022-08-22

  

  Glutathione-S-transferases constitute a family of enzymes involved in the detoxification of xenobiotics, signalling cascades and serving as ligandins or/and catalyzing the conjugation of various chemicals and drugs [53]. The present finding indicates significant increase in GST activity in the brain

• Carbon monoxide another key product

  2022-08-22

  

  Carbon monoxide, another key product from the breakdown of heme by HO-1, also plays an important role in the vasculature. Like NO, CO is endogenously derived from the endothelium [68] and can weakly activate sGC by binding to its heme moiety [69]. CO was found to have vasodepressor activity in rats

  As the material for in silico experiments we used an amino caffeic acid phenethyl ester sequence of a fragment of HIV1 surface glycoprotein gp120 corresponding to its less mutable B-cellular epitope: NMWKNNMVEQMHEDIISLWDQ. This sequence is the same as the sequence of the NQ21 and the biotin-NQ21 pep

  GT1-7 benzydamine were treated in two ways; specifically, they were either dosed or transfected with VP, reflecting the extracellular and intracellular actions of VP, respectively. A dose of 200 pg/ml VP in culture supernatants was effective in stimulating GnRH in the supernatant and cell extracts;

  Similarly, both neofunctionalization and subfunctionalization likely occurred for the duplicated proglucagon genes. The change in function of GLP-1 would be a neofunctionalization, however in this case it acquired a redundant function – a function that largely overlaps with glucagon effects in the l

  2022-08-22

  

  Here, we examined whether complete ablation of GIP production could reduce weight gain in the absence of the adipocyte hormone leptin, a condition that results in extreme hyperphagia, obesity, hyperinsulinemia, and insulin resistance, in both mice [24] and humans [25]. We found that Lepob/ob mice be
