  2020-01-02

  

  LTD4 and LTC4 cause contraction in the rat stomach and these contractions are sensitive to CysLT1 receptor antagonists (Goldenberg and Subers, 1983, Miura et al., 1992, Miyata et al., 1995). However, effects of other leukotrienes in the gastric contraction and inhibitory effects of potent, selective

  2020-01-02

  

  CRF binds to CRF1 and CRF2 receptor subtypes, triggering downstream cascades and leading to stimulatory G protein (GsP) activation. Once activated, GsP undergoes a structural change provoking the separation of the subunits Gα and Gβγ. The Gα subunit induces the production of the second messenger cAM

  In the original ELF study [7], patients were considered eligible if they were due to undergo liver biopsy for the investigation of chronic liver disease, defined as abnormal biochemical liver function tests persisting for more than 6 months, ability to provide informed consent and age between 18 and

  Previous work examining the link between the COMT gene and ISV is limited and has produced contradicting results. The Val allele was linked with higher ISV of RTs following target trials in a continuous performance task (Stefanis et al., 2005) and with higher ISV of RT and P3b latencies of unfamilia

  Does hydroxylation of proline have a specific role in the structure and function of the conotoxins? Several studies in the literature provide insights into the role of proline hydroxylation in the Conus peptides. The consequences of proline hydroxylation on oxidative folding and biological activity

  2019-12-31

  

  Various domains of DDR1 have been shown to be important for receptor clustering and its oligomeric status. It is now understood that (i) dimerization [7] and higher-order oligomerization [12], [18] of the DDR1 extracellular domain (ECD) enhance its binding to collagen; (ii) DDR1 exists as non-covale

  2019-12-31

  

  Defensins are one major class of antimicrobial, cationic peptides that are released from Walrycin B and imbedded in the mucus layer on mucosal surfaces [45]. They can be categorized into two major families; α- and β-defensins. In humans there are two α-defensin members, defensin 5 (HD5) and defensin

  Employing distinct genetic and pharmacological approaches, Divakaruni et al. now demonstrate that macrophages still acquire their IL-4-elicited phenotype in the absence of CPT1a (considered the main isoform in leukocytes) or CPT2, and highlight that the increased LC-FAO in M(IL-4) cells is less cruc

  Unlike many forms of SNHL, cCMV may be treatable. The antiviral drug valganciclovir (VGCV) has been proposed to improve hearing, speech, and language outcomes associated with this infection [6]. A recent publication from the CASG (Collaborative Antiviral Study Group) reported that a six-month course

  Introduction The physiological significance of hypoxia is undisputed, although largely over looked in the cancer therapeutics field focused on DNA-damage induced by ionizing radiation or drug treatment. Regions of hypoxia occur during a range of diverse biological situations including embryogenesis

  Estrogens: Definition and history The term “estrogens” refers to a group of female hormones, including estrone, estradiol, estriol, and estretrol (Fig. 1). Chemically, estrogens belong to the family of organic compounds known as steroids. As such, their core structure is composed of 17 carbon-carbo

  Although it is well established that estrogen and ESR1 mediate numerous reproductive processes, increasing evidence suggests that ESR2 also lays an integral role in reproduction. ESR2 is a mediator in folliculogenesis and may also act by stimulating ovulation and regulating luteinization (Su et al.,

  Enlarging the ligand-binding pocket by reduction of the size of the residue F435 switched DES to an agonist indicating that F435 is involved in mediating the antagonistic effect of DES (Fig. 7E) [13]. The conformation of the smaller side chain of L435 was either not altered by DES or was too small t

  Ramos cells carry a non-functional p53 and constitutively express the transcription factor, NF-κB (Nazari et al., 2011, Zand et al., 2008). There is much evidence to support the conclusion that the interruption of NF-κB activation promotes apoptosis in several hematological malignancies (Fabre et al
