GLP-1 also showed cardioprotective effects (i.e., infarct size reduction and ejection fraction improvement) in experimental models of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury by suppressing caspase-3 activation and preventing apoptosis of cardiomyocytes [[50], [51]]. Of note, such a cardioprotection w

It is well known that, nanostructured transition metal oxides are the most promising candidates as electrode for pseudocapacitors due to their attractive properties such as environmentally friendly, high theoretical capacitance, low cost and easily abundant [15], [16]. Numerous investigations have b

Studies on the external dehydrogenases of N. crassa have shown that the NDE1 protein is a Ca2+-dependent external NADPH dehydrogenase, while NDE2 is characterized as a dehydrogenase oxidizing both cytosolic substrates (external NADH and/or NADPH) (Carneiro et al., 2004, Melo et al., 2001). All three

Some of the psychoactive actions of nicotine are mediated by the nigrostriatal and mesolimbic pathways (Di Chiara, 2000, Di Chiara et al., 2004). The nigrostriatal pathway originates in the dopaminergic neurons located in the substantia nigra and terminates in the putamen and nucleus caudatus which

In this study, a GMI of 1.0 was associated with high sensitivity above 90%, specificity below 30% and higher negative predictive value. However, this cut-off couldn\'t have been optimal because of the lower level of Youden J Index which was technically difficult to assign the optimal cut–off values

It is well known that the tumor suppressor p53 plays an important role in regulating the AM251 and cellular senescence [43,46,48]. For example, FOXO4 could interact with P53, which selectively induced apoptosis in senescent cells [48]. In addition, loss of MECP2 was found to lead to the induction o

This article is based on previous research work [43] in the field of distributed development of information systems [34]. In that work, the system infrastructure focusing on the three-level data model used in the different layers of our architecture is described. The work presented in this manuscrip

SPR was used to measure biomolecular kinetic interactions between TERRA G-quadruplex and ligand in the present study. SPR is a widely used method, but cannot tell which specific type of interaction happened. Compounds with similar structures probably have similar mechanism of interaction, while comp

This study focused on NPC1L1 because it is critical for intestinal energy metabolism of both dietary and biliary cholesterol.1, 7, 8 Overall, regulation in the intestine of cholesterol, BAs, and lipids by FGF19 and SHP may involve the combined actions of regulation of other genes that were identifi

Effects of estradiol outside the nucleus are often mediated by classical estrogen receptors Today, it is widely accepted that steroid hormones can signal in ways that do not rely on receptors acting in the nucleus, including activation of receptors localized to the cellular membrane. Rapid effect

Prostaglandins (PGs), in particular PGE2 and PGF2α, play pivotal roles in human parturition by stimulating cervical ripening, myometrial contraction and fetal membrane rupture (Challis et al., 1997). In human pregnancy, the amnion is the principle source of PGE2 (Duchesne et al., 1978). In the amnio

Introduction O6-Methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) is a DNA-repair enzyme that specifically transfers alkyl adducts from the O6 position of guanine to the cysteine residue (Cys145) in its active site. In cancer cells, this ability of MGMT disrupts the cytotoxic actions of alkylating antic

Protein deubiquitination is becoming increasingly instrumental in understanding the complexities of the Ub system. Adding to this complexity is the discovery of bacterial effectors with DUB activity that have structurally adapted themselves to interfere with the eukaryotic Ub system (Pruneda et al.,
