  In conclusion, three heat-stable cyclic peptides, guanylin, uroguanylin and renoguanylin are expressed in the intestine and kidney of the European eel, Anguilla anguilla. Their physiological functions are likely to be mediated, at least in part, by two isoforms of the guanylate cyclase type C recept

  2021-10-09

  

  Renal disease is characterized by aberrant fibrotic remodeling of renal tissue, elevated apoptosis in kidney tissue, and eventual organ failure. In addition, patients with renal disease are more likely to suffer from systemic hypertension due to oxidative damage (reviewed in Ref. [18]). Treatment of

  Being a facultative intracellular pathogen, C. pseudotuberculosis is exposed to oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS and RNS, respectively) reactive environment within macrophages (Nathan and Shiloh, 2000), apart from species endogenously generated by metabolic processes. These molecules interact with D

  2021-10-09

  

  Previous researches about ghrelin focused primarily on gastrointestinal functions [30], energy balance [31], weight [32], and more recently on anxiety [33], [34], [35] and depression [36]. Here, we provided the first demonstration that chronic peripheral or central ghrelin treatment to CUMS rodents

  Knowing that our strongest phenotypic differences between the genotypes involved feeding behavior in various contexts, we decided to examine the case of restricted feeding and food anticipatory activity. Animals faced with a restricted schedule of food availability develop a series of anticipatory b

• ETV plays an important role in tumorigenesis and metastasis

  2021-10-08

  

  ETV5 plays an important role in tumorigenesis and metastasis. For example, chromosomal rearrangement of ETV5 which results in increased ETV5 level is believed as a common event driving human prostate cancer (Helgeson et al., 2008; Huang and Waknitz, 2009). Ghrelin/acyl-ghrelin also plays an importan

  2021-10-08

  

  Interestingly, transgenic mice that constitutively express active FXR in the intestine (iVP16FXR) are protected from chemically-induced and genetically-induced cholestasis. This protective effect is attributed to the induction of intestinal FGF15 and repression of hepatic Cyp7a1 expression, downregu

  In the current study, we report the properties of P. anserina mutants carrying mutations in a gene encoding the bi-functional enzyme 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase (PFK-2/FBPase-2). This enzyme catalyzes two opposite reactions (Pilkis et al., 1995, Rider et al., 2004): synthesi

  2021-10-08

  

  Some SNPs have been identified for HRH in cancer (Table 4). Looking into breast cancer research, H4 receptor polymorphisms have been recently associated with the malignancy of the disease. This was evidenced upon the analysis of genotypes and haplotypes of a Chinese Han population; this study showed

  Introduction Local anesthetics (LAs) are a set of common medicines used for pain management in clinical settings. Up to now, LAs have been extensively used for peripheral nerve blocks, interventional spinal procedures, and epidural anesthesia [1]. In addition to their anesthetic and analgesic eff

  Following nerve injury, Shh expression is upregulated in neuronal cell bodies of the facial and sciatic nerves. Additionally, Shh appears to be required for normal regeneration in vivo, and promotes motor neuron survival in vitro (Martinez et al., 2015; Akazawa and Kohsaka, 2007). Based on these obs

  2021-10-08

  

  Recent evidence suggests that HCA2 can also mediate antineuroinflammatory effects [63]. Studies in this field were initiated when monomethyl fumarate, the metabolite of DMF, was shown to be an agonist of HCA2[5]. DMF at the same time was shown to not only have beneficial effects in the treatment of

  The discovery that the physiological functions of LPI are associated with the activation of specific GPR55 membrane receptor [4] has launched a new era of research on this lysophospholipid. However, the activation of membrane receptors by lysophospholipids is extremely complex due to the multitude o

  Recently, a G-protein-coupled receptor, GPR109a, was identified as a molecular target for niacin. Mechanistic studies have suggested that the benefits of niacin therapy may result from the activation of GPR109a located on adipocytes. Recent experiments have shown that niacin activation of GPR109a re
