  2024-08-28

  

  Because activation of 5-HT2A receptor is capable of facilitating dopamine cell activity and dopamine release (Bortolozzi et al., 2003), and this action of dopamine is known to mediate rat maternal behavior, especially maternal motivation (Afonso et al., 2007, Febo et al., 2010, Li and Fleming, 2003,

  2024-08-28

  

  The growth of cancer can control by inhibiting the rate of cell proliferation or increasing the rate of selective apoptosis and effectiveness of anticancer agents varies according to genetic constitution of cancer. Hence, we investigated the anticancer activity of arginase against different kinds of

  2024-08-28

  

  In addition to calpain I activity, cathepsin activities have been proven to be linked to apoptotic signaling. Cathepsin B and cathepsin D are two of the most abundant and well-investigated lysosome acid-dependent proteases that are involved in the apoptotic regulation (Ferri & Kroemer, 2001). Cathep

  2024-08-28

  

  CORT-induced hippocampal damage has been implicated in depression, aging and long-term glucocorticoid therapy. Therefore, finding a drug that can protect hippocampal neurons from the adverse effects of CORT could have significant clinical benefits. In this regard, we tested the potential protective

  Acknowledgement Introduction Estrogens play an important role in the development and progression of breast cancer (McGuire et al., 1976; Clemons and Goss, 2001). 17β-Estradiol (E2), the most biologically active estrogen in breast tissue, functions via its nuclear receptors, estrogen receptor (

  2024-08-28

  

  The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is a hormonal system which plays a role in the regulation of blood pressure and body fluid 3-Bromopyruvic acid [14]. The main bioactive peptide of RAS is angiotensin II (Ang II) whose biological functions are interposed through angiotensin type 1 receptor (AT1R) a

  Concluding Remarks and Future Perspectives Herein, we have highlighted our current understanding of the role of the LKB1-AMPK pathway and its related kinases in β cell biology. β cell-specific genetic models have been particularly useful in delineating precise roles for individual family members

  Funding Introduction l-3,4-Dihydroxyphenylalanine (l-DOPA) is the gold-standard treatment for the motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD); however, its chronic use induces severe motor complications that eventually limit its long-term efficacy (Bastide et al., 2015). The most disabling side

  Taken together, our results indicated that 5-LOX can be induced in mice by MPTP injection, and the 5-LOX inhibitor MK-886 reduced the death of dopaminergic neurons. MK-886 also reduced the LTB4 comt inhibitor induced by MPTP. The development of the novel 5-LOX or FLAP inhibitors may provide a new th

  Consistent with the observation that mutations in the redox-partner binding site of P450c17 that reverse charge from basic to acidic (R347H, R358Q) cause 17,20-lyase deficiency (Geller et al, 1997, Geller et al, 1999), at least one POR mutation that changes a residue in the FMN domain from neutral t

  The apoptosis-promoting Bcl-2 family includes BH3-only proteins (e.g., Bim, Bid and Bad) and multiple-domain proteins (e.g., Bax and Bak). At the time of apoptosis stimulation (e.g., DNA damage), only the BH3-only protein is activated, directly or indirectly promoting Bax/Bak oligomerization, changi

  Using the same techniques, we found that UCP3 also has a half-life of between 1 and 4h [117]. In Edrophonium chloride to UCP2 and UCP3, UCP1 and ANT had much longer half-lives and could not be degraded in the cell-free reconstituted system, suggesting their degradation is not mediated by the cytoso

  Introduction Heterotrimeric Gαβγ proteins mediate signal transduction through seven-transmembrane domain receptors. In response to neurotransmitters or hormones, activated receptors bind GTP via the Gα subunit leading to the dissociation of Gα from the Gβγ dimer. G proteins regulate the levels of s

  It has been reported that trehalose shows beneficial effects in a mouse model of several neurodegenerative diseases [21], [22], [23]. There are also reports showing that trehalose can improve the impaired cognitive and learning ability and reduced Aβ deposit in hippocampus of APP/PS1 transgenic mice
