  2022-02-18

  

  Fatty acids are also known to activate G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). LCFAs activate the GPCRs for free fatty reverse transcriptase (FFA)1 and FFA4 (Briscoe et al., 2003; Hirasawa et al., 2005), whereas SCFAs activate FFA2 and FFA3 receptors, which are expressed in bovine neutrophils (Alarcon

  The knowledge that piroxicam competes with ligands that bind to FPR may be of importance for a deeper understanding of the anti-inflammatory effects possessed by this NSAIDs. It has recently been reported that not only phagocytes but also platelets express FPR on their cell surface and that these re

  2022-02-18

  

  Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication of total joint arthroplasty (TJA) . With modern chemoprophylaxis, the incidence of VTE after primary total hip (THA) or total knee (TKA) arthroplasty is commonly estimated between 0.5% and 1%, and VTE is now consi

  Introduction Currently, HIV-1 infection treatment guidelines adopted in USA and EU provide for the simultaneous administration of three antiretroviral drugs (HAART “Highly Active Anti-Retroviral Therapy”) in severely compromised patients [[1], [2], [3]]. Coupling at least two different mechanisms

  Autophagy and HBV-induced HCC Researchers have demonstrated downregulation of autophagy in HBV transgenic liver tumors of mouse models and in human HBV-induced HCC specimens. Kotsafti and his colleagues declared that the expression level of BECN1 mRNA in HCC specimens was considerably lower than

  While the specific set of challenges associated with deorphanization and transforming each poorly characterized GPCR into a useful drug target will be unique, much can be learned by considering how these issues have been addressed for other receptors. One group of poorly characterized GPCRs that hav

  2022-02-17

  

  Introduction The onset of uterine labor is the culmination of a gradual uterine activation wherein physiological inflammation induces a common prolabor pathway characterized by increased myometrial contractility, weakening of fetal membrane integrity, and cervical ripening. Pathological proinflamma

  Introduction Although G-protein-coupled receptor 55 (GPR55) was considered a cannabinoid receptor, it differs phylogenetically from cannabinoid type 1 (CB1) and type 2 (CB2) receptors as it lacks the classic cannabinoid-binding pocket (Baker et al., 2006). GPR55 is sensitive to an array of cannabin

  Gastrointestinal peptides and intestinal health Gastrointestinal peptides are intimately involved in the regulation of feeding behaviors, energy metabolism and bodyweight 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41. GPR120 has been demonstrated to induce secretion of two such peptides: GLP-1 and cholecystokinin (CCK)

  Conclusion Acknowledgments Introduction The gyloxalase pathway is a well-conserved antioxidant defense system found in all cells of the body [1], [2], [3], [4]. The glyoxalase pathway facilitates the neutralization of highly reactive and oxidizing dicarbonyl molecules, with methylglyoxal (M

  We next compared the enhancing effects of 100nM zinc on currents produced by a low concentration of glycine with zinc effects on the same currents produced by the partial agonist taurine. In this experiment, zinc was co-applied with concentrations of glycine or taurine producing 5–10% of the maximal

  Introduction Glucose is the most important energy carrier of the brain. Glucose transporter type 1 (Glut1) is located at the blood–brain barrier and assures the energy-independent, facilitative transport of glucose into the brain [1]. Twelve transmembrane segments of the protein and an intracellula

  2022-02-16

  

  The membrane metalloendopeptidase (MME) gene is located at human chromosome 3q21-27. It encodes a 100-kD type II transmembrane glycoprotein, a widely expressed membrane metalloendopeptidase that degrades a number of substrates. The active site of the enzyme faces the extracellular space. MME is wide
