  Phylogenetic trees of receptors for peptides similar to glucagon from diverse vertebrate species typically are similar to the tree presented in Fig. 3 (Sivarajah et al., 2001, Chow et al., 2004, Irwin and Wong, 2005, Cardoso et al., 2005, Cardoso et al., 2006, Ng et al., 2010, Park et al., 2013, Hwa

  2022-03-25

  

  The role of GJs in liver fibrogenesis was studied recently. Studies showed a significant decrease in liver fibrosis in Cx32 knockout mice compared to wild-type mice. Although the mechanism underlying this protective effect of Cx32 deletion is not clear, reduced oxidative stress was suggested as a po

  The sexual dimorphism in dlGALR1a and dlGALR1b receptors found in the gonads of adult fish led us to hypothesize that the gene expression difference between female and males might be attributed to the differences in steroid production between female and male gonads. Interestingly we have found that

  In this review we will highlight how the functional impact of GABA receptors activation in thalamic neurons far exceeds the traditional “shunting” effect and shapes the whole thalamic network excitability. We will show how GABA released during either tonic or burst firing of GABAergic thalamic neuro

  2022-03-25

  

  The first FPR1 ligand described is the fMLF peptide, which binds with high affinity (in the nM range) to and activates FPR1. Formylated peptides derived from Listeria monocytogenes also selectively activate FPR1 [10] (Table 1). Formylation of peptides also occurs in mitochondria. Thus, the release o

  2022-03-24

  

  Considering that TGF-β1 plays a pivotal role in inflammation, renal fibrosis, cell growth, differentiation, and apoptosis, it has been viewed as a vital mediator in kidney disease [49,50]. Studies have demonstrated that TGF-β1 is upregulated in both human and experimental kidney diseases [51,52]. TG

  Although it has been observed in numerous studies and by many investigators that intraplatelet cGMP elevation results in platelet inhibition, there are a few papers which proposed a platelet stimulatory role for cGMP when elevated in response to NO donors or PDE5 inhibitors in mouse and human platel

  Increasing number of experimental data reveal that both ROS and RNS are multifunctional molecules playing a substantial role in plant physiology and particularly in seed biology (Bailly et al., 2008; Šírová et al., 2011; Yu et al., 2014). Dual function of RNS can be described by the model of “nitros

  KYNA has been shown to regulate iNKT cytokine release (Fallarini et al., 2010) and at high concentrations to reduce LPS-induced TNFα release from cultured peripheral blood mononuclear AVL-301 (Wang et al., 2006). Our results show that elevating KYNA to “exercised” levels is sufficient to promote an

  With this goal in mind, we proceeded to explore the C5-heteroaryl class of pyrazole-acids. Initial efforts, focused on a thiophene replacement, demonstrated little improvement. The 2-thiophene derivative (0.25μM and 0.24μM), a surrogate to the phenyl moiety, demonstrated only a modest boost in acti
