  It remains to elucidate whether proteolytic activity is the cause or the consequence of changing levels of peptidergic substrates. In fact, in some cases, the expression of the enzyme does not necessarily parallel with its activity [26], [55], [57] and other factors such as a definite biochemical en

  The beneficial treatment with several statins have been evaluated in AD patients (Kivipelto et al., 2005), with controversial results. It has been suggested that statins slow cognitive decline in mild to moderate AD (Miida et al., 2005). Treatment with atorvastatin, combined with other medications,

  Introduction Alcohol, i.e., ethanol, is absorbed into the blood from the stomach to the small intestine, then distributed throughout the body. The metabolism of alcohol converting to acetic kainate receptors basically involves two enzymes; alcohol dehydrogenase converting ethanol to acetaldehyde

  2023-05-24

  

  Cancer stem cells (CSCs) may have been first identified in teratocarcinomas [11], [12], with its initial clues date back to the 19th century [13]. Kleinsmith and Pierce [12] established the immortal pluripotent teratocarcinoma lines from a single transplanted multi-potent malignant cell, strongly su

  Discussion With recently improved understanding of the role of βARK1 in the progression of HF and as a potential therapeutic target in HF, we explored the relationship between plasma βARK1, as a marker of chronic sympathetic overactivation, and physical symptoms in HF. Our main findings were 1) e

  2023-05-24

  

  AdK as an important upstream regulator of adenosine-based homeostasis represents a promising drug target since it leads to an increase in adenosine concentrations. Taking into account that the adenosine formation is only increased in affected tissues under stress with high adenosine levels, AdK inhi

  It has been known that 5-LOX is the rate-limiting enzyme for the products of LTs, and LTs actively participate in the activation of neutrophils [10]. In our study, we determined whether 5-LOX was upregulated in pancreatic tissues during ANP. Moreover, we investigated whether the inhibition of expres

  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

  Chronic inflammation is associated with both initiation and progression of many neoplastic conditions [149], and ATX may be a player in the process. ATX/LPA signaling is positively correlated with the invasive and metastatic potential of several cancers including melanoma, breast cancer, ovarian can

  Moreover, mice exposed to high-cholesterol diet have mildly activated astrocytes, increased expression of ApoE and aquaporin-4 in the hippocampus, and altered levels of proteins associated with Aβ metabolism (Chen et al., 2016), which is related to a higher demand for cholesterol transport and the n

  The aldehyde reductase (AKR1A1) and aldose reductase (AKR1B1) belong to aldo-ketoreductase (AKR) superfamily catalyzing the reduction of corresponding aldehydes and ketones involved. Both the closely related enzymes AKR1A1 and AKR1B1 have 65% structural similarity and differ only at the active site.

  Role of APPL in endosomal signaling pathways Endosomes consist of distinct membrane subdomains within individual organelles and assist in the translation of extracellular stimuli via cytoplasmic transduction cascades to the nucleus [3], [74]. Endosomal abnormalities are associated with the pathogen

  In terms of the ring B C5′ position, while C5′-F (compound ) was tolerated, C5′-Me (compound ) and C5′-Cl (compound ) substitutions resulted in a loss in potency. However, the C5′-OMe substitution (compound ) resulted in a ∼3-fold increase in potency compared to . Modeling suggested a pseudo hydroge

  6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) is a selective catecholaminergic neurotoxin mainly used to generate lesions in the nigrostriatal pathway in rats (Ungerstedt, 1968). The most common use of 6-OHDA is via unilateral injection into the rat medial forebrain bundle (MFB). DA depletion, nigral DA cell loss, and
