  2021-12-27

  

  Fatty acids have been repeatedly shown to increase the responsiveness of pancreatic islets to glucose both in vitro and in vivo[6]. The recent identification of GPR40 as a receptor for free fatty acids that is localized to the pancreatic islet cells has therefore stimulated interest in obtaining sma

  Introduction Most organisms require glucose as a key metabolite, and it is critical that mammalian cells regulate glucose levels properly to maintain bioenergetic homeostasis. The major transporters responsible for the uptake of glucose from systemic circulation into cells are the GLUTs, members

  Acknowledgements Introduction Protein translation demands high fidelity. There are number of molecular checkpoints to fulfill this demand. Among these, insuring that a particular tRNA gets aminoacylated by its conjugate amino acid, which in turn is catalyzed by a particular aminoacyl-tRNA synt

  Vertebrate steroid receptor evolution Conclusion The teleost WGD event resulted in the duplication of the vertebrate GR and MR and two GRs have been retained in the majority of teleost fish studied so far. The molecular basis for this retention has yet to be fully understood. The cloning of th

  2021-12-24

  

  Formyl peptide receptors (FPRs) are a family of surface-expressed, G protein-coupled receptors [7]. The three members, FPR1, FPR2 and FPR3, share significant sequence homology, but have different functional properties [7]. While FPRs are mainly expressed by innate leukocytes, they are also found on

  2021-12-24

  

  Immunohistochemical evaluation of gastric cancer tumor samples revealed that 57.8% (59/101) were positive for GLI1, and 71.3% (72/101) stained positive for SHH [27]. Overexpression of SHH and GLI1 protein were significantly associated with larger tumor size, tumor aggressiveness, and less differenti

  Various inhibitors have been developed to target molecules present in these pathways. They include both man-made monoclonal Celecoxib as well as small molecule membrane permeable inhibitors that often target kinases or phosphatases [5], [338], [348], [364]. In summary, these pathways are frequently

  2021-12-24

  

  The recently de-orphaned G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR), GPR55, is activated endogenously by L-α-lysophosphatidylinositol (LPI), a lipid signaling molecule, as well as N-arachidonoyl glycine (NAGly) and numerous endo, phyto, and synthetic cannabinoids (Oka et al., 2007, Henstridge et al., 2010, H

  Depressed survival rate, body weight, and colon length along with elevated clinical score comprise the essential characteristics of IBD (Hung et al., 2014; Shen et al., 2011; Sun et al., 2010). In the present study, we found that SB improved the survival rate, body weight, and colon length and decre

  Previously, we have shown that the natural flavonoid compounds that possess C-4 ketone group and C-5 hydroxy group, such as baicalein, luteolin, myricetin and quercetin, effectively inhibit human GLO I. Considering our interest in inhibitors of GLO I and based on the rationale mentioned above, struc

  Introduction Adaptations in the metabolism of cancers contribute to tumor survival and growth and present opportunities to develop novel therapeutic strategies (Kelloff et al., 2005, Som et al., 1980). In particular, glutamine metabolism plays such an important role in cancer growth that a phenomen

  L. (Family Leguminosae) widely distributed in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. As a medicinal and edible plant, it is widely used in Asia, especially in China, Korea, Japan and India. It was first recorded in Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing (神农本草经), and was described having the effect of cleari

  Conclusion In conclusion, SHP289-04 was demonstrated as a potent glucokinase activator. It could normalize the blood glucose level and lipid level in spontaneous type 2 diabetes model KKAy mice. At the same time, it ameliorated the function of islets and liver in KKAy mice. It had been proved to

  γ-Secretase in inflammatory diseases γ-Secretase appears to play a more important role than previously recognized in inflammatory diseases. Studies have shown that mice partially deficient in PS genes (PS1+/− PS2−/−) develop an immune system deficit in late adulthood, such as ulcerated skin or a

  The molecular mechanisms underlying VSMC ETB receptor upregulation have been studied after 24–48h organ culture in both coronary and cerebral arteries. The increased expression of contractile ETB receptor at these time points has been shown to depend on transcriptional mechanisms and PKC and the ext
