  Interestingly, hSMC displayed a similar morphological response to ET-1 as CHOETA. This dramatic lowering of normalized cell index in hSMC mimics ET-1 induced smooth muscle contraction. Earlier studies have shown that stress-fiber formations in CHOETA are mediated by Gq/PLC and G12 and in CHOETB by G

  Recently, the toxicity of TBT was demonstrated at the vascular level in animal models (Nath, 2008), and the results obtained so far suggest that TBT may be a potential risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. TBT is capable to alter the coronary vascular reactivity to estradiol (dos Santos et al., 2

  It is important to mention that the IC50 of cetirizine needed to achieve histamine H2 receptor desensitization was 0.43 µM or 170 ng/ml (Fig. 1B), becoming clinically relevant since pharmacokinetic studies after oral administration of the clinically used dose (10 mg/day) reported a maximal plasma co

  2022-03-14

  

  The relationship between the attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and H3Rs is supported by several reports (Berlin et al., 2011; Passani, Bacciottini, Mannaioni, & Blandina, 2000; Vohora & Bhowmik, 2012). ADHD is a neurobehavioral disorder with high prevalence in children, with hyperactiv

  2022-03-14

  

  Obesity is one of the worldwide concerns, with high prevalence and adverse effects on human health and life expectancy. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), obesity is defined as abnormal or excessive fat accumulation in the body with body mass index (BMI) of 30 or more. Obesity increas

  2022-03-14

  

  Hippo signaling is unique in that it does not possess a cognate ligand and receptor system. Instead, numerous upstream sensors that monitor cell morphology, cell polarity, cell-cell contact, and mechanical stress impinge onto the Hippo pathway core kinases, MST, and LATS. This in turn indicates the

  The recently de-orphaned G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR), GPR55, is activated endogenously by L-α-lysophosphatidylinositol (LPI), a lipid signaling molecule, as well as N-arachidonoyl glycine (NAGly) and numerous endo, phyto, and synthetic cannabinoids (Oka et al., 2007, Henstridge et al., 2010, H

  METHODS RESULTS Discussion Numerous studies have proposed various hypotheses and models to explain how neuroinflammation could contribute to the chronic fatigue, postexertional fatigue, and cognitive deficits observed in patients with ME/CFS.12, 13, 14, 15 Although neuroimaging studies have

  2022-03-12

  

  The finding that GPR35 acts as a receptor for 2-acyl LPA is noteworthy, because P2Y5, which has homology with GPR35 (29%), has recently been shown to act as a receptor for 2-acyl LPA [14]. LPA3 is also a specific receptor for 2-acyl LPA [15]. It is also worth noting that GPR55, which has homology wi

  In conclusion, this is the first study performed in acute limbic seizure models that shows the ability of DAG to dose-dependently attenuate pilocarpine-induced seizures, albeit at a higher concentration as ghrelin (Portelli et al., 2012b). We also establish that DAG's anticonvulsant mechanism of act

  Moreover, intestinal chronic inflammation is a promoting factor in the development of CRC in patients affected by inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. We have previously shown that pharmacological FXR activation via its ligand obeticolic GDC-0152 counter

  The diverse biochemistry of zinc means that, in many cases, more than one factor (or pathway) is at play. Whilst catalytic Zn2+ sites are now typically well-understood, the recognition that Zn2+ levels regulate the function of many cell types has led to vigorous interest in the fate and role of mobi

  uPAR, another newly discovered ligand, has implicated FPRL1 as a potential link between the fibrinolytic cascade and inflammation. uPA is a serine protease best known for its ability to regulate fibrinolysis and for its importance in tissue remodeling and tumor invasion [49]. However, uPA also induc

  Natural-product-based drug discovery can be enhanced with computational methods [205]. Because most of the reported small-molecule natural inhibitors of fMLF-induced functional responses were not evaluated in Paclitaxel mg binding assays, we used molecular modeling to predict how well these compoun
