  Introduction Progesterone, also known as P4, is a steroid hormone acting as a key component in the complex regulation of female reproductive function. P4 plays major physiological roles in the uterus and ovary by releasing mature oocytes helping in implantation and maintenance of pregnancy, as well

  2020-10-20

  

  The present study “manipulated” dopaminergic functioning by examining genetic variation related to the catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) gene. The gene transcribes the COMT enzyme involved in degradation of released dopamine in the frontal cortex. COMT is primarily localized to the frontal cortex

  2020-10-20

  

  The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) family, which consists of extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2), p38 MAPK, and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), is involved in the development of NP (Hung et al., 2012, Ji et al., 2009). Recently, Zhuang et al. (2005) demonstrated that t

  Conclusions and future perspectives It is now evident that selective ETA or nonselective endothelin receptor antagonism provides therapeutic potentials against a variety of cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension, PAH, and diabetic microvascular dysfunction (Fig. 1). However, PAH is currentl

  2020-10-20

  

  In bone, PGE2 exerts both anabolic and catabolic effects [6], [7], [8], [9]. Administration of PGE2 to mice lacking each of the four prostanoid receptors identified EP4 as the primary mediator of PGE2-induced bone formation [10]. While the role of EP1 in osteoblastic differentiation and bone metabol

  2020-10-20

  

  Emphysema is an important component of COPD, which is responsible for airflow limitation. In the present study, a significant airspace enlargement was observed 21 days after elastase administration. Interestingly, daily administration of olaparib provided greater protection against emphysema as comp

  2020-10-20

  

  The inhibition of NPY cleavage may also contribute to the effect of gliptins on blood pressure [123]: NPY is an agonist of Y1 receptor mediating peripheral vasoconstriction. Interestingly, blood pressure in adult SHRs was not affected by single dose administration of a specific DPP-4i whereas blood

  Many studies have found that there is an aberrant DNA methylation in the imprinting control region of development-related genes in the spermatozoa of oligozoospermic men (Kobayashi et al, 2007, Marques et al, 2004, Marques et al, 2008), which most likely results from expressional changes in the DNMT

  We recently reported that the information about the electronic density obtained from a QTAIM analysis is useful to describe the molecular interactions that stabilize and destabilize the different complexes L-R [13], [14], [15]. Specifically in our previous work reported for DHFR inhibitors, the QTAI

  Considering the divergence of multiple DGAT isoforms, we examined whether MiDGAT1 and MiDGAT2s utilized different fatty acids as the substrate to synthesize TAGs. GC-MS analysis indicated that C16:0 and C18:0 were the major components of TAGs in yeast cells, and all three MiDGATs displayed the same

  The homologous DDRs are composed of an N-terminal discoidin homology domain, followed by a sequence of ∼220 amino acids unique to the DDRs, a transmembrane domain, a large juxtamembrane domain, and a conserved cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase domain. In a previous study, we demonstrated that DDR activati

  While several C-terminal peptides have been reported to have modest (astressin) or substantial (astressin2-B, antisauvagine-30) subtype selectivity for the CRF2 receptor (), [125I]YP20 is the first reported small analog of the C-terminus of CRF exhibiting subtype selectivity for the CRF1 receptor vs

  One of the therapeutic proteins used in cancer therapy is glucarpidase, also known as Carboxypeptidase G2, CPG2, which originates from the bacterium Variovorax paradoxus (old name, Pseudomonas sp. strain RS-16). It has no mammalian equivalent (Thompson et al., 1994; Kamlage, 1994) and is a zinc-depe
