  Our data indicate that curcumin reduced MDA and LOOH formation in plasma and kidney induced by gentamicin treatment. The results demonstrate the protective effect of this compound against oxidative damage to these membranes. Moreover, the ability of curcumin to reduce the formation of LOOH induced b

  2021-10-22

  

  The CNP/pGC-B/cGMP pathway has been reported to be potent inhibitor of fibrosis, from an intrinsic compensatory protective response as well as a therapeutic in cardiorenal injury and disease states [6,12,13,22,30]. Indeed, fibrosis is a progressive process leading to increased risk for morbidity and

  2021-10-22

  

  Introduction Soluble guanylyl cyclase (GC-1) maintains vascular function through the NO/GC-1/cGMP pathway [1,2] by catalyzing the conversion of GTP into cGMP (Fig. 1). The GC-1 heme prosthetic group binds NO with picomolar affinity, resulting in a 100- to 200-fold increase in catalytic activity.

  In addition to changes in the Rho isoforms, all Rac isoforms, including the constitutively active splice variant of Rac1, Rac1b, are overexpressed in various tumors and accumulating evidence indicates that they play an important role in the metastatic potential of cancer BGP-15 (Chan et al., 2005, F

  While the specific set of challenges associated with deorphanization and transforming each poorly characterized GPCR into a useful drug target will be unique, much can be learned by considering how these issues have been addressed for other receptors. One group of poorly characterized GPCRs that hav

  In addition to vertebrate species, GnRH has been identified in invertebrates, such as in the Protochordate Ciona intestinalis (Powell et al., 1996; Adams et al., 2003), the decapods mollusk Octopus vulgaris (Iwakoshi et al., 2002), the gastropod mollusk, the sea hare Aplysia californica (Zhang et al

  We first investigated the influence of the -acyl group of the glycine amide side chain and found that shorter linkers lead to better activities (–); simple -benzoyl substituents were always superior to the 3-arylpropanoyl group present in the high-throughput hit (). Electron withdrawing substituents

  Introduction Given the growing acceptance of ergothioneine (ET) as a biologically important agent with potential therapeutic applications [[1], [2], [3], [4]] it is increasingly important to clearly establish the role of the organic cation transporter (novel) type 1 (OCTN1). OCTN1 was discovered

  Introduction Histamine was generally accepted as a neurotransmitter in 1984, when histamine was first identified to be located in tuberomamillary nucleus (TM) of the brain (Watanabe et al., 1984). In mammals, histaminergic neurons play an important role in regulating multiple physiological activiti

  Conclusion In conclusion, we discovered a pair of novel epimers CBC and CBD from plant C. bungei. These two natural compounds inhibit Hh pathway by blocking signaling at the level of Gli. They are effective in suppressing Hh pathway-dependent medulloblastoma growth in vitro and in vivo. Furthermo

  Studies have indicated that formylated peptides, FPRs, and in particular FPR-1 may be principal conductors in inflammatory processes in sterile-24, 26 and infection-related diseases. FPR-1 and formylated peptides, which are active components of CS, have been involved in smoking-induced lung damage,

  Although pharmacological studies from the end of the 20th century suggested that β1-AR induces a cAMP-dependent apoptosis [30], more recently it has been demonstrated that cAMP, acting through PKA, may be a crucial anti-apoptotic factor in cardiac myocytes [31]. cAMP can also stimulate PI3K, and the

  The Fenoprofen Calcium promotion is triggered upon the binding of Ca2+ to the C2 domains of two key protein groups, i.e. complexin and certain synaptogamins (Lai et al., 2017; Rizo and Xu, 2015). The first step of the vesicle fusion is the priming of the secretory vesicles, involved at the switchin
