  2024-10-29

  

  Finasteride has been shown to be a mechanism-based inhibitor of 5AR-2 [9]. Finasteride acts as an alternate substrate for 5AR-2 and is initially bound in an extremely stable enzyme-bound NADP-dihydrofinasteride adduct which is ultimately processed to dihydrofinasteride. The NADP-dihydrofinasteride a

  2024-10-29

  

  In young animals, the 5-HT2A Carbenicillin antagonist ketanserin, at relatively low concentrations, shifted 5-HT concentration-response curves rightward, suggesting a role for 5-HT2A receptors in mediating 5-HT-induced contractions of the ureter. The slopes of the ketanserin Schild plots for the an

  2024-10-29

  

  However, although in vitro studies in heterologous systems have provided very important indications of potential novel pharmacology, the studies with endogenous receptors in native tissues are essential to provide evidence for GPCR heteromerization in vivo and to confirm its physiological relevance.

  In this study, in an effort to explore the possible role of 5-HT6 receptors in mediating the memory-enhancing effects of YL-0919, we first assessed the memory-enhancing effects of YL-0919 in the Morris water maze, object recognition test and step-down passive avoidance task. In addition, we then inv

  2024-10-29

  

  Normally, the activity of the 17,20-lyase increases with the onset of adrenarche [7], [8], [15]. Adrenarche has previously been perceived as a relatively sudden event, occurring physiologically between 6 and 8years of age. However, results from our laboratory clearly indicated that adrenarche is a c

  2024-10-29

  

  Skeletal pain associated with bone fracture is another area of critical need for a novel pain medication. NSAIDs and opiates are the two major therapies currently used to manage bone fracture pain. However, both of these therapies lead to significant unwanted side effects. Using the osteotomy model

  2024-10-29

  

  Introduction Active oxygen radicals in the human body have a strong effect of inducing lipid peroxidation, which in turn induces oxidative imbalance and causes various diseases. Natural polysaccharides are substances with certain antioxidant activity. They are used as antioxidants and have advant

  2024-10-29

  

  Under normal physiological conditions, the agonist binds to AT1R on the surface of the plasma membrane and activates the receptor, mediating downstream signaling. Then, activated AT1R is phosphorylated by protein kinase C (PKC) [13] or G protein coupled receptor kinases (GPKs, such as GRK2 [13], G

  Of the cardiovascular studies involving ARBs, 3 reported renal outcomes. In the Losartan Intervention For Endpoint study, albuminuria was observed less frequently in the losartan than in the atenolol arm (7% vs. 13%; p=0.002) (5). In the Candesartan Antihypertensive Survival Evaluation in Japan tria

  2024-10-29

  

  Although many factors influence the effects of medications, during recent years it has become evident that genetic factors could explain the differences between individuals in drug response. These differences are due to variants in genes encoding drug targets [8]. The challenge for pharmacogenetics

  Acknowledgments Introduction Amyloid deposit formation is defined by the aggregation of β-sheeted forms of proteins that appear as starch-like amorphous material [1], [2]. Using a Kongo red stain, amyloids show birefringence behavior and an apple-green to reddish multicolor emission. Extracere

  2024-10-29

  

  Aβ has been reported to decrease insulin receptors and impair insulin signaling in neurons, preventing phosphorylation of Akt and glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK-3β), downstream of insulin signaling, and to increase phosphorylation of tau protein causing neurofibrillary tangles (Tokutake et al., 20

  Despite clear evidence of a causative role for Aβ in AD, Aβ-mediated toxicity alone is insufficient to explain all facets of fully manifested AD. Indeed, a recent report found that two familial AD mutations in PSEN1, PSEN-L435F and PSEN-C410Y, resulted in a dysfunctional protein that does not cleave

  The present study determined the effect of DCA on VSMC calcification in vitro and in atherosclerotic ApoE-/- mice in vivo. We found that ST 2825 non-toxic concentrations of DCA, did not affect VSMC viability, induced calcification of VSMC in culture and increased atherosclerotic vascular calcificati
