  In the mammalian brain, synapse formation is followed by a period of synapse refinement, and autophagy has been shown to play an important role in this process. For example, Tang and colleagues found that autophagy is required for the developmental pruning of dendritic spines, and that this pruning

  In this review, we will present the traditional and actual strategies to study orphan receptors and identify their ligands. An extensive description of the orphan GPCR field has been published in 2013 by Davenport et al. [22]. Therefore, we will focus on the deorphanizations that were reported since

  Declaration of interest Funding Introduction The endocrine disruptor bisphenol A (BPA) is a high-production chemical used in several consumer products, including polycarbonate bottles, epoxy resins, dental sealants, and thermal paper receipts (Geens et al., 2012). Importantly, BPA monomers

  2022-11-14

  

  As with most G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), sustained activation of APJ can cause desensitization and this has been reported to occur for APJ-mediated effects on cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration, as well as for effects on activity of adenylyl cyclase, ERK and Akt (Ishida et al., 2004, Masri et a

  Plant defensins (Vriens et al., 2014) and linear AMPs (Domingues et al., 2015, Liu et al., 2008) have been shown to present several modes of action. Among these different mechanisms, permeabilization of the fungal membrane has been described as a secondary effect of plant defensin action (Vriens et

  What are the in-situ effects of multi-site CaM associations with AT1R? Kai et al. showed that synthetic peptides corresponding to residues 125–137 (rat sequence) in SMD2, 217–227 in the N-terminal side of SMD3, and 304–316 in SMD4JM inhibit to various degrees AngII-induced GTPase activity of isolate

  2022-11-14

  

  The androgen receptor gene (AR) is located on the X-chromosome and consists of eight exons in humans (Brown et al., 1989; Kuiper et al., 1989). The similar gene structure in mice, monotremes and marsupials indicates AR is highly conserved in mammals (Choong et al., 1998; Faber et al., 1991; He et al

  The findings from our previous study indicate that mitochondrial biogenesis of astrocytes is increased under experimental septic condition [25]. Recent studies have shown that IL-6 can activate AMPK by increasing the concentration of AMP [26], while AMPK regulates mitochondrial biogenesis and autoph

  Inhibition of autophagy has been shown to alleviate neuronal damage after cerebral ischemia, both in cell culture and rodent models (Koike et al., 2008, Li et al., 2015, Wang et al., 2016, Zhang et al., 2014, Zheng et al., 2014). Therefore, blockage of autophagy is a potential target for prevention

  Cell surface metalloproteases coordinate signaling during development, tissue homeostasis, and disease. A disintegrin and metalloprotease 17 (ADAM17) is a well-characterized member among ADAM family, which mediates the cleavage of various cell surface proteins (Black, 2002, Black et al., 1997, Dello

  Besides its multiple peripheral effects adiponectin may ameliorate insulin resistance by acting in the brain, and intracerebroventricular administration of adiponectin in rodents decreases body weight by stimulating energy expenditure [13]. Adiponectin most likely crosses the blood-CSF-barrier (BCB)

  Although ASD is considered one of the most heritable neurodevelopmental disorders (El-Fishawy & State, 2010; Geschwind, 2011) and majority of the research on ASD has focused on the genetics of the disorders (Autism Genome Project, C, 2007; Buxbaum & Hof, 2011), single causative gene anomalies accoun

  Co is an essential element for life in minute amounts [5]. The human adult contains about 1.1mg Co with the daily requirement of 0.1μg/day. Co is a component of vitamin B12. Co induces erythropoietin and blocks iodine uptake by the thyroid, controls the transfer of enzymes like homocysteine methyltr

  In this study, we first determined whether AIF in bovine LT muscle is expressed and the mitochondria released AIF-mediated apoptosis during postmortem aging. For apoptotic issues, the mitochondrial outer membrane is permeabilized, and AIF translocates to the cytosol and to the nucleus, where it indu

  Although little is known about the etiopathogenesis of preeclampsia, this syndrome has a major impact on maternal and fetal health worldwide, since it is responsible for 10–15% of maternal deaths [16], [17], preterm births, intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), and fetal deaths [2].
