  2025-01-13

  

  Exposure to B[a]P is an epidemiologically proven cause of lung cancer (Hecht, 2003; Rojas et al., 2004; Alexandrov et al., 2010), and the formation of B[a]PDE-N2-dG adducts is considered to be the critical event in lung tumorigenesis by B[a]P. On the other hand, there is evidence suggesting that the

  The anorexic effect observed when AR231630 is infused into the VTA could be the result of the DA release inhibition, as previously described [11]. However, there is also a hedonic aspect in feeding that possibly involves dopaminergic mechanisms of reward. Helm et al. showed a functional link between

All four adenosine receptor subtypes are expressed on monocytes and macrophages, and their levels and function undergo significant changes during the maturation of macrophages from monocytes. Indeed, quiescent monocytes are charac

  2025-01-13

  

  ADA catalyzes the deamination of adenosine and deoxyadenosine into their respective inosine nucleoside (Cristalli et al., 2001). This conversion is an initial step in a series of reactions responsible for lymphocyte proliferation and differentiation. Moreover, ADA is considered an indicator of cellu

  In summary, we suggest that both cofilin and gelsolin are essential factors that regulate sperm capacitation and the acrosomal exocytosis by modulating actin. The relationships between activation/inactivation of cofilin and gelsolin suggest that inhibition of cofilin is important for allowing F-acti

  The AChR is composed of five homologous, membrane-spanning subunits. AChRs containing two α, one β, one δ and one γ subunit (AChRγ) predominate during embryonic development and mice lacking AChRγ die at birth (Takahashi et al., 2002). After birth, the AChRγs are replaced during the first 2 postnatal

  A rational approach for the design of new steroid compounds as possible competitive inhibitors of CYP17 include chemical modification at C17 of the enzyme's natural substrates, pregnenolone (1) and progesterone (2), introducing groups with moderate to strong dipole properties at C20, such as oxime a

  The Rv2477c-EQ2 protein was purified from 600 ml induced cultures following the same protocol described above. Elution of the mutant protein from the affinity resin was done using 200 mM imidazole. After concentration and buffer-exchange of protein as described above, the purity of the protein was c

  Our results suggest that plasma membrane and a3-containing V-ATPases represent an important and novel target in the development of drugs to limit breast cancer metastasis. That knock-down of a3 has been shown to reduce metastasis of melanoma cells in an in vivo mouse model suggests that this role m

  At the outset of targeting the two Gln756 side-chain rotamers, it was unclear which rotational isomer would lead to more potent ASK1 inhibitors. While such a preference might have been anticipated, the cohort of ASK1 inhibitors in Table 3 did not provide any guidance regarding which of the Gln756 am

  Testosterone can be converted into estrogens by aromatase action. Aromatase is encoded by CYP19, belongs to cytochrome P450 superfamily, and synthesizes estradiol (E2) and estrone (E1) from testosterone and androstenedione respectively (Fig. 1). Aromatase is expressed in the ORS of anagen hair folli

  Whereas allostery in the β cell is relatively understudied, significant progress has been made in understanding the physiology and mechanistic biology of how AMPK and its upstream kinases govern β cell function. LKB1 phosphorylates AMPKα at Thr172 [21], and loss of LKB1 in β cells abolishes phosphor
