  2022-01-05

  

  The isoenzyme hGSTP1-1 is an attractive drug target due to its high levels of disease association (target validation) and druggability (target tractability) properties [5,6,[17], [18], [19], [20], [21]]. hGSTP1-1 functions as a homodimer protein [18]. Each monomer has two domains, an α/β domain (N-t

  Lysophosphatidylinositol (LPI) LPI is a subspecies of lysophospholipid consisting of inositol as its head group, one glycerol molecule and one acyl chain (Piñeiro and Falasca, 2012). The biosynthesis of this lipid starts from Phosphatidylinositol (PI) and is catalysed by the enzymes phospholipase

  As well as the above studies, Meier and coworkers used TUG-891, alongside omega-3 fatty acids, to show a potential role for FFA4 in inhibiting proliferation of DU145 prostate cancer cells [68]. Given that these cells express both FFA4 and FFA1 and the current view that TUG-891 may not be sufficientl

  Introduction High dose niacin, or nicotinic acid, has been used as an athero-protective drug for more than 50 years (Carlson, 2005, Offermanns, 2006). When taken in pharmacological doses (>1g/day), the nicotinic Dihydrotestosterone form of niacin modulates plasma lipid profiles including decreas

  Finally, it is possible that the increase in the number of EAAT-3-labelled cells in the DG at PD 60, when compared with the control and experimental animals at PD 14, is associated with natural changes in the number of neurons present during the postnatal development of the hippocampus (41, 42) and,

  Conclusion Until recently, astrocytes were recognized solely for their maintenance role in the regulation of GSK503 homeostasis. Nowadays, this idea has changed, it is clear that these cells play a crucial role in the regulation of neuronal activity and signal transmission. In particular, glial G

  Materials and methods Results Discussion Here, we investigated the inhibitory effects and associated mechanisms of phloroglucinol on α-glucosidase. Our results showed that phloroglucinol reversibly inhibited α-glucosidase in a dose-dependent manner (Fig. 1), with the double-reciprocal plot

  In mammals, the primary cilium is considered a hub for signal transduction. The cilium has previous been associated with transduction of several pathways including Wnt (Corbit et al., 2008, McDermott et al., 2010, Tran et al., 2014), PDGF (Clement et al., 2013, Schneider et al., 2010, Schneider et a

  The regulation of gap junction-connexin-mediated activities may be achieved through action on the channel gating properties (membrane voltage, pH, interaction with junctional and cytoskeletal proteins, Ca2+ and K+ concentrations, etc) or on the trafficking, turnover and localization of connexins. Sh

  Conclusions GPCRs are versatile signaling molecules regulating almost all physiological processes, including energy homeostasis and glucose homeostasis.105, 106 They also prove to be important therapeutic targets. Drugs targeting GPCRs account for 30% of current pharmaceutical sales. GPR40 is a m

  In enzyme assays, it is convenient to quantify the product formed in the enzyme reaction, where a decrease in the concentration of product indicates enzyme inhibition [35], [36], [37], [38]. In the present study, substrates were carefully chosen so that they are specific to each enzyme. Known natura

  We sought to deduce the role of membrane lipid determinants on endo- and exocytosis by applying a combination of metabolic (lipid) engineering approaches and biophysical methods, e.g. classical optical imaging technologies and high-resolution time-resolved patch-clamp/capacitance measurements.
