  2022-02-12

  

  Introduction The glucagon receptor (GCGR) is a G-protein-coupled receptor expressed mainly in the liver and kidney. Upon glucagon binding, it activates the stimulatory G protein (Gs) and increases cAMP level, subsequently transducing glucagon signaling involved in glucose, amino acids and lipid m

  2022-02-11

  

  Combination inhibitors of FAAH, TRPV1, and/or COX2 may have the advantage of effective pain relief with a high therapeutic index. For example, arachidonoyl serotonin (AA-5-HT) inhibits both FAAH (IC=1–12μM) and TRPV1 (IC=37–270nM against 100nM capsaicin in HEK-293 cells)., In mice, AA-5-HT had grea

  Nonetheless, several questions remain to be answered about FAAH inhibition to address cannabis use disorder. The trial was of short duration (4 weeks), whereas most clinical trials in this field have been for 8–12 weeks., , , Although motivational deficits are commonly present in cannabis users and

  Transportation from TGN toward plasma membrane The insulin molecules are packaged along with other molecules such as C-peptides, amylin, Zn2+, ATP and GABA in synaptic-like macrovesicles (SLMVs, with the diameters of 50–100 nm) and large dense core vesicles (LDCVs, with the diameters of 200–500 n

  2022-02-11

  

  The mechanistic basis of a PAE-induced reduction in HDC isoform expression is unclear at present. These reductions may be a consequence of reduced histaminergic innervation of PAE-affected brain regions. Given that these three brain regions are anatomically more distant from the ventral hypothalamus

  Multi-targeting agents are of major interest in modern drug design and discovery. Design of such compounds can be applied to H3R antagonists for the purpose of achieving optimum efficiency as performed for some preclinical candidates such as recently for contilisant (Bautista-Aguilera et al., 2017;

  Given the role that activation of GC-C has in stimulating fluid secretion in the intestine, attempts have been made to exploit this pathway to relieve symptoms of chronic constipation. Currently, an orally administered synthetic ST mimic, linaclotide [29], has been successfully shown to alleviate co

  2022-02-11

  

  Even though for almost 30 years GnRH was considered the main neuropeptide regulating gonadotropin release in vertebrates, Tsutsui et al. (2000) discovered, in the Japanese quail, Coturnix japonica, a hypothalamic neuropeptide that directly inhibits gonadotropin release, and thus named as gonadotropi

  Extending the issue of the species differences, the role of neuroestradiol in the preovulatory GnRH/LH surge might be specific to primates or species with a luteal phase. For example, animals with a true luteal phase, such as monkeys and sheep, exhibit a long preovulatory GnRH surge, lasting well af

  A myriad of receptors in WM To complicate the picture, WM glia express numerous non-glutamatergic neurotransmitter receptors, a fact that is often underappreciated when considering pathophysiology. When examined in isolated optic nerve, a central WM tract completely devoid of neuronal synapses, r

  Glucose metabolism and diet Glucokinase is essential for sensing blood glucose levels, thus controls metabolism (Iynedjian, 1993, Iynedjian, 2009, Postic et al., 2001, Agius, 2008). Loss of glucokinase activity in humans and mice leads to diabetes (Printz et al., 1993b, Postic et al., 2001, Agius

  For many plasma membrane receptors including GPCRs, their density on the cell-surface is finely controlled by various transcriptional, post-transcriptional and post-translational mechanisms, and is often a determinant of overall receptor function in a cell. To date, the transcriptional regulation an
