• Because HIV does not infect neurons

  2022-08-18

  

  Because HIV does not infect neurons, the neurotoxicity in HAND is thought to result from the neuroinflammation evoked by the release of viral proteins and cytokines from infected microglia and macrophages (Ellis et al., 2007; Saylor et al., 2016). Viral tropism is determined by gp120 binding to CD4

  2022-08-18

  

  In addition to the increase of extracellular glutamate, ICH can also increase the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and oxidative stress. Although the products of red blood cell lysis and plasma components, as well as the excitotoxic effect of glutamate have been to increase oxidative damage (

  2022-08-18

  

  Rare mutations can impair the molecular function of GR and alter tissue sensitivity to GCs in humans, resulting in primary generalized GC resistance (PGGR) and hypersensitivity (PGGH) [14]. Familial and sporadic PGGR, or Chrousos Syndrome, is characterized by general and partial insensitivity of tis

  The mechanism underlying the anorectic effect of OXM is well established. It is centrally mediated via GLP-1 receptor activation, confirmed by both pharmacological blockade of the GLP-1 receptor, and using GLP-1 receptor knock-out mice [2], [11], [12]. However, the mechanism by which it increases en

  Previously, we have shown that ghrelin and cannabinoids stimulate hypothalamic AMPK activity (Kola et al., 2005). In contrast, both the orexigenic compounds have inhibitory effects on AMPK activity in the liver and visceral fat (Kola et al., 2005). In this study, we were able to reproduce our previo

  2022-08-18

  

  Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) is a monoamine with dual functions in the developing and matured brain. 5-HT regulates development of the Bax channel blocker as a neurotrophic factor and is involved in emotion and cognition as a neurotransmitter in adulthood (Gaspar et al., 2003; Daubert and

  In stark contrast to this study, Zhang and colleagues demonstrated that FFA4, along with FFA1, play roles in suppressing cell proliferation and promoting apoptosis in CRC tpca treated with omega-3 PUFA [53]. In this study design, in vivo CRC was induced in mice upon treatment with the genotoxic col

  Species specificity of small molecular GPR40 agonists have been reported by Takeda scientist. In the binding pocket of TM5, a Leu186 in human GPR40/FFA1 is replaced with Phe in rat, resulting in dramatic inter-species GPR40 activity discrepancy in certain scaffolds of small molecular GPR40 agonists.

  Mammals and birds are sensitive either to hypo or hyper glycemia. In contrary some frogs when freezing/thawing experience very high glycemia (Storey and Storey, 1986). Nevertheless when the effect of temperature on Fru-2,6P2 concentration was investigated, the constant glucose level in frogs kept at

  Introduction Terpenoids, also known as isoprenoids, constitute a large family of natural products comprising at least 22,000 compounds and play diverse and important roles in plants as hormones, phytosynthetic pigments, and electron carriers [1], [2]. In addition, volatilized terpenoids contribute

  Recent studies in our laboratory demonstrated that several histamine H1 receptor antagonists induce apo A-I gene expression while histamine itself represses it [20]. In humans, there are three histamine receptor genes (H1, H2, and H3) that code for G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCR's) which bind his

  Previous studies have shown that HER2 is also involved in IL-6 expression and signaling. IL-6, HER2, and GP130, the beta-subunit of the IL-6 receptor (IL-6R), are physically associated and co-immunoprecipitate in response to IL-6 stimulation [1]. IL-6 induced HER2 clustering to the GP130 complex, le

  It has been demonstrated that HO-1 inhibits the production of proinflammatory mediators including TNF-α and IL-6 in response to sepsis [35], and the expression of iNOS and COX-2 [36,37]. An inverse association between HO-1 and iNOS has previously been described: the NO levels decline with increases

  TGR5 is a class A GPCR, transducing signal through Gs-protein mediated cAMP accumulation, and was recently reclassified as the founder member of the bile–acid receptor subclass of GPCRs [22]. The cAMP-mediated signaling of TGR5 activation has been implicated in a range of cellular physiological acti
