  Acknowledgments Introduction Angiotensin II (AngII) is among the most potent vasoactive substances produced in humans. Its effects are numerous, from vasoconstriction to control of fluid and electrolytes balances. Many of the physiological and pathological effects of AngII are mediated by the

  RNA interference assays have shown that the inhibition of AMPK expression leads to increases in TNF-α, IL-6 and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) levels after LPS stimulus, whereas the transfection of macrophages with a constitutively active form of AMPKα1 results in decreased LPS-induced TNF-α and IL-6 prod

  Another possible scenario is that the same pathologic process has different effects in different people. It might be that the pathway outlined in Fig. 6A is operative in some individuals, but other individuals have a factor Q (which could be genetic or environmental) that blocks the effect of A on T

  Discussion AhR is a receptor that binds to a great variety of lipophilic compounds, in particular those containing at least one aromatic ring (Abel and Haarmann-Stemmann, 2010, Guyot et al., 2013, Hahn, 2002). The main known function of this receptor is to induce the metabolism of these compounds

All four adenosine receptor subtypes are expressed on monocytes and macrophages, and their levels and function undergo significant changes during the maturation of macrophages from monocytes.

  The α7 nAChR has been considered an interesting potential target for numerous therapeutic indications over the last two decades, with GTS-21 one of the first candidates proposed for Alzheimer's disease [2], [3], [23]. Unfortunately, although many α7-selective agonists have been developed [21], none

  Molecular docking simulations were carried out for ligands – in the ACE crystal structure (1O86) and DPP4 crystal structure (2G5P). Comparison of the binding mode of – () with enalaprilat (a) in ACE shows that the phenethyl group (–, enalaprilat) occupies the S1 pocket and the adjacent carboxylic NC

  The potent inhibition of aromatase by ziram indeed caused the lower estradiol production in JEG-3 cells (Fig. 4), confirming that ziram can penetrate the cell membrane to get into the cells to act. However, the treatment of ziram did not lower progesterone production in JEG-3 cells (Fig. 4), indicat

  The use of FTAI can overcome the negative impact of low estrus detection efficiency, but implies effective synchrony of luteal function as well as synchronous growth and ovulation of a viable sennoside follicle.

  In our study, S. aureus activated the TLR signaling pathways of BMECs, thus inducing profibrogenic growth factor expression via NF-κB and AP-1. Since fibrosis is an important pathogenic process in both bovine and human mastitis, further studies on the molecular mechanisms of S. aureus infection are

  We have recently begun to demonstrate this concept by reporting a novel class of β-hairpin peptidomimetics, built on a piperidine-pyrrolidine semi-rigid β-turn inducer [12] and bearing two recognition pentapeptide sequences, designed on oligomeric and fibril structures of Aβ1-42 (compound 1, Fig. 1)
