  Introduction Glucose homeostasis is primarily regulated by the hormones insulin and glucagon, secreted from the pancreatic islets of Langerhans. Although insulin produced by β aminopeptidase inhibitor is the blood glucose-lowering hormone, glucagon secreted from α cells acts as the major counter-

  Given the actions of GIP analogues administered as a single dose to ob/ob mice, studies were performed to assess their ability to act in vivo as antagonists of GIP-induced insulinotropic and antihyperglycaemic actions. (Ala3)GIP, (Phe3)GIP, (Tyr3)GIP and (Pro3)GIP all counteracted the glucose-loweri

  2022-01-04

  

  We hypothesize that HBO2 increases GABA activity at the GABAA receptor via a nitric oxide dependent mechanism. Blotting for the phosphorylated β3 subunit of the GABAA receptor should theoretically be increased when there is more GABA activity at the receptor (McDonald et al., 1998). We expected that

  Analysis of the i-motif structures during biased unfolding of G-quadruplexes leads to the conclusion that at acidic pH the i-motif is absolutely unaffected by that process. The hydrogen bonds within the i-motif are intact (Fig. 3D) and they only fluctuate around mean values. On the other hand, the i

  Other strategies for ferroptosis In addition to ROS-generating and GPX4 inactivating nanomaterials, small molecules and genetic manipulation targeting key factors in the ferroptosis pathway have also been tested for their anticancer effects [39,47,48]. Among a myriad of proteins involved in ferro

  Here we employ a genetic approach to examine the potential interaction of Gli3 and Ezh2 with respect to anteroposterior limb bud polarity. Loss of Ezh2 in a Gli3 mutant background leads to synergistic loss of anterior identity, although the double mutant phenotype more closely resembles that of Ezh2

  Previous studies have attributed the changes that occurs during the behvioral sensitization to many psychostimulants with neuroadaptation in dopaminergic cell bodies of the VTA (induction phase) along with alteration in dopamine axon terminal field transmission of NAc during the expression to sensit

  Most studies of HIF-1α have focused on its transcriptional activity-dependent functions. However, our results indicate that the oxidative stress-related effects of mtHIF-1α occur independently of its translocation to the nucleus and do not require its transcriptional activity. In fact, several studi

  Concluding Remarks Given the increasing global incidence of metabolic disorders, new drugs that lower body weight and improve glucose tolerance are desperately needed. While we still have a long way to go, GPR55 might be an interesting target to explore, given its expression in numerous metabolic

  Human GPR55 (hGPR55) was originally isolated in 1999 as an orphan GPCR with high levels of expression in human striatum (Sawzdargo et al., 1999) (Genbank accession # NM_005683.3). hGPR55 was mapped to human chromosome 2q37, and in the human CNS it is predominantly localized to the caudate, putamen,

  Niacin () () has long been used for the treatment of lipid disorders and for the prevention of cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of death in the U.S., as a result of its ability to raise high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels. Recent mechanistic investigations have shown that niacin may exe

  Administration of a fructose-rich diet to normal rats induces insulin resistance and impaired glucose tolerance or diabetes, depending on treatment duration [23]. We have shown that development of these abnormalities as well as fat deposit in liver, are effectively prevented by co-administration of

  Our own search towards aryl-imidazole derived GSMs led to the discovery of the benzimidazole derivative (). It is one of the most potent GSMs to date, suffering however from sub-optimal drug-like properties. More recently, we have described the design and synthesis of bicyclic triazolo-derivatives,

  Emerging evidence has shown that pharmacological FXR agonism attenuates chronic alcohol treatment-induced liver injury and steatosis [18], [19], while whole-body FXR knockout worsens alcohol-induced liver injury [19]. This suggests that FXR plays an important role in ALD development. However, defici
