2021-09-11

Benzene metabolism occurs primarily in the liver where benzene is converted into phenol, catechol, hydroquinone (HQ). HQ is further converted to 1,4-benzoquinone (1,4-BQ) in the bone marrow which is the primary organ of benzene toxicity (Bolton et al., 2000). 1,4-BQ is an important benzene metabolit

In our study, we found that HER2-mutant lung cancers occurred commonly in female patients with an advanced stage at time of diagnosis and in a relatively younger age group. Previously, Mazières et al. [8] obtained comparable epidemiological findings, including a median age of 60 years, a high propor

Based on the role of NMDA receptors in initiation and propagation of epileptic seizures and on potentiation of NMDA function by glycine, it has been hypothesized that glycine will have proconvulsant activity (Foster and Kemp, 1989). Indeed, there is some evidence that human epileptogenic foci, remov

Our study has some limitations that should be considered when the results are interpreted. First, we did not measure the protein levels of Bax and Bcl2, due to time and budget limitations. Although simultaneous measurements of both mRNA and protein levels are complementary for a better understanding

Introduction Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is one of the most common complications associated with pregnancy [1]. Approximately 7.6% of pregnancies in the United States are complicated by GDM [2,3], which significantly increases the mother's risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2D) later in l

Materials and methods Results Aberrant Aβ has been suggested to be an initiating factor for glutamate excitotoxicity in AD pathology. To investigate whether Aβ1-42 alters glutamate uptake in astrocytes, neurons, and astrocyte-neuron co-cultures, we used synthetic Aβ1-42 peptide. Aβ1-42 has fas

2021-09-11

GKRP binds to the inactive, super-open conformation of GCK, acting as a competitive inhibitor of glucose association with the enzyme (Fig. 3) [45]. Upon formation of the inhibitory complex with GKRP, GCK is sequestered into the hepatocyte nucleus [48]. The detailed mechanism by which GKRP mediates t

2021-09-11

The biological actions of ghrelin are mainly due to its interaction with GHSR-1a (Howard et al., 1996). The pharmacological properties of D-Lys3-GHRP-6, a selective antagonist of GHSR-1a, have been extensively studied (Beck et al., 2004, Benso et al., 2007, Sibilia et al., 2006). To study the recept

Ghrelin and cgk balance To characterize the physiological role of ghrelin in energy homeostasis, ghsr−/− and ghrelin−/− mice were generated [33], [36], [41], [47]. Although ghrelin regulates the amplitude of episodic GH release, ghsr−/− mice were not dwarfs, and in fact appear identical to their

Cx43 is a phosphoprotein that is predominantly phosphorylated in the control state. Cx43 can be phosphorylated by a number of kinases and dephosphorylated by protein phosphatases such as PP1 and PP2A [6], [10]. Posttranslational phosphorylation of Cx43 is thought to influence intercellular coupling

How changes in APP processing by γ-secretase lead to AD is still not well understood. Deposition of amyloid beta (Aβ) peptide fragments of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) in amyloid plaques and hyperphosphorylated tau in neurofibrillary tangles are the cellular hallmarks of AD (O’Brien and Wong,

All of the abovementioned effects of PUFAs signal their involvement in a cellular phenotype switching phenomenon, which is increasingly recognized as a potential target for future pharmacotherapies of atherosclerosis, especially for individuals who do not respond to the classical lipid-lowering stra

The lack of biological activity of this family of compounds against T. cruzi is quite unexpected and cannot be attributable simply to the presence of a hydroxyl group at C-1. In fact, either compound 6 or risedronate (5), both bearing a hydroxyl group at C-1, are effective inhibitors of TcFPPS.21, 2

Patients with SCI often develop chronic neuropathic pain, which further deteriorates their quality of life [5]. This condition results from functional and structural plastic changes that occur centrally following injury to spinal cord neurons and glia, and include changes in receptor function and si
