• Urinary hydroxypyrene OHP is a widely used biological marker

  2022-08-05

  

  Urinary 1-hydroxypyrene (1-OHP) is a widely used biological marker of exposure to PAHs and indicator for internal dose of activated PAHs (Jongeneelen, 1987, Adonis et al., 2003). PAH metabolites may be excreted either as free or as conjugated compounds. When 1-OHP is measured after treating the urin

• Two distinct mechanisms have been described for niacin

  2022-08-05

  

  Two distinct mechanisms have been described for niacin’s macrophage-based actions [21,22]. First, niacin blocks recruitment of macrophages to atherosclerotic lesions. Second, niacin upregulates macrophage ABCA1 and ABCG1, transporters involved in reverse cholesterol transport. Upregulation of choles

  2022-08-05

  

  Such responses have led to the idea that elasmobranchs may be glucose intolerant. However, certain species, such as the North Pacific spiny dogfish (Squalus suckleyi; note that the species used in this study was previously referred to as Squalus acanthias but a study by Ebert et al. (2010) provided

  2022-08-04

  

  We found that silymarin induced more improvement of renal functions compared to Rvs. Our results were in agreement with previous studies. The effect of silymarin has been tested in alloxan-induced diabetes mellitus models in rats. Alloxan produces reactive oxygen species which injure renal tissue. S

  2022-08-04

  

  The mechanisms underlying the inhibitory effects of n-3 FAs on neoplasia have not been completely elucidated. Until recently, the emphasis has been on the ability of n-3 FAs to compete for the pathways that lead to the synthesis of pro-inflammatory eicosanoids from arachidonic acid, an n-6 FA, there

  2022-08-04

  

  In conclusion, our results showed that FFAR1 can mediate the effect of PIO in attenuating β-cell lipoapoptosis through anti-oxidative stress, which may be related to the activation of the PLCγ-ERK1/2-PPARγ pathway. Our study helps not only to distinguish the role played by FFAR1 in lipotoxicity, but

  2022-08-04

  

  The improved glucose tolerance of Ffar1R258W/R258W mice on HFD was unexpected. In combination with similar fasting blood glucose levels, the significant lower fasting plasma insulin of mutant mice compared to wild-type mice is indicative of improved insulin sensitivity. However, peripheral insulin r

  In this study, we intended to explore the efficacy of artesunate on liver fibrosis and further clarify its potential molecular mechanism. Artemisinin, a sesquiterpene lactone obtained from a Chinese plant Artemisia annua [27]. Artesunate, as a stable derivative of artemisinin, is an effective drug f

  The results of our analysis of Fas alleles, Fas 670 A>G, FasL alleles, and FasL IVS2nt 124 A>G for cases and controls are shown in Table 2. For Fas 670, we found statistically significant differences between the two groups regarding the AA Gadodiamide (P=0.040) and GG/AG (P=0.040) as well as the A

  2022-08-04

  

  By measuring the accumulation of unprenylated Rap1a as a surrogate marker for the inhibition of FPPS [8], [9], [10], [11], we found that upregulation of FPPS expression in Hela cells reduced the accumulation of unprenylated Rap1a in response to 24h' treatment with 0–50μM ZOL. As expected, cells cult

  2022-08-04

  

  Integrin engagement triggers activation of several signaling pathway including Fak, which is recognized as the key signal transduction factor in the integrin signaling pathway that functions by activating downstream signaling in focal adhesion plaques. Whether changes in integrin-FAK signaling pathw

  Mitochondrial binding by HK prevents mortality by inhibiting pro-apoptotic factor (Bcl-2 family)-mediated opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) (Arora and Pedersen, 1988, Calmettes et al., 2016, Kodde et al., 2007, Pedersen et al., 2002, Rosano, 2011, Schindler and Foley,

  For the SAR study, human haspin kinase inhibitory activity of the various compounds was evaluated using the same assay utilized for the HTS, except in the presence of varying test compound concentrations. DYRK2 kinase inhibitory activity was measured by P-incorporation into Woodtide peptide substrat

  The endocytic inhibitors MDC and CPZ and dynamin GTPase blocker (dynamin mutant) have been shown to significantly decrease the intracellular accumulation of cGMP. Moreover, earlier reports suggested that G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCRs) continue to signal by generating cAMP throughout internalizat
