  Our results demonstrate that 17-pt-PGE2 - in addition to its described effects on EP1 and EP3 receptors - also acts as an EP4 agonist and thereby enhances vascular barrier function. Materials and methods Results Discussion In this study we demonstrate that the purported EP1/EP3 receptor ag

  It was demonstrated that ET-1 signaling is the primary axon guidance mechanism that accounts for sympathetic innervation of the sinoatrial node and myocardium in the developing mouse heart [11]. In this article, we will review the findings relating to the basic profiles; i.e. molecular features of

  The effects of the endocrine active agents on hepatic ERα were varied. Both nonylphenol and genistein caused an increase in hepatic ERα in female rats, whereas EE2 did not. It is doubtful that the small changes in hepatic ERα induced by genistein and nonylphenol in female rats are sufficient to alte

  Generally, glycines (and other small residues such as alanine) present in a helical GxxxG-motif that are facing the same side of the helix form a uniform surface that enables direct contact with a second helix. Crystal structures of multipass membrane proteins have demonstrated that GxxxG-motifs are

  In summary, these results are consistent with our hypothesis that chemical nitrosation of BMAA to N-BMAA results in the formation of an alkylating agent. Furthermore, we have shown that N-BMAA is more toxic than BMAA itself. Previously, methylazoxymethanol (MAM), which is also present in the cycad n

  Acknowledgements Introduction Laryngeal cancers are the most frequent cancers of the head and neck region and their occurrence is strongly associated with the exposure to cigarette smoke and the consumption of strong alcohols. Almost all laryngeal cancers are squamous cell carcinomas. Usually

  Materials and methods Results Discussion NB has been shown to induce cancers in many tissues including the kidney, liver, and thyroid, following chronic inhalation in animals (Hsu et al., 2007). The available data indicate that a lager majority of studies on NB evaluate the effects of toxic

  2020-02-21

  

  Besides the regulation of the stress responses, CRF and the urocortins have been implicated in drug addiction (Bruijnzeel and Gold, 2005, Sarnyai et al., 2001). For instance nicotine, the addictive substance of tobacco, can activate the HPA axis, just like any other stressor may do, although its imp

  Regarding the effects of CRF on anxiety, Sahuque et al. (2006) have demonstrated that this neuropeptide also enhances anxiety when injected into the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST), a VX-702 structure that has also been related to defensive behavior (Casada and Dafny, 1991, Chen et al.,

  2020-02-21

  

  Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) is an important species farmed worldwide (Doan et al., 2018). Lipid-rich diets are commonly used in Nile tilapia aquaculture to reduce feed cost, but impair lipid homeostasis (Huang et al., 2016). Therefore, it is important to determine whether forskolin can stim

  2020-02-20

  

  The human serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine; 5-HT) receptor family consists of 14 receptor subtypes to date, which are primarily G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) with 5-HT3 being the sole ligand-gated ion channel (Alexander et al., 2017). These receptors are widely distributed in the central and per

  ICV injection of UCN2 or UCN 3 performed in the morning of the 8th day (12h after the last IP administration) seems to increase further the time spent in the open arms of mice exposed to saline or nicotine treatment. Interestingly, in mice exposed to saline treatment ICV injection of UCN 2 or UCN 3

  Methods Results IAA-94 abrogated the protective effects of IPC as it increased myocardial infarction (MI) due to IR injury in vitro (Diaz et al., 1999), and also prevented cyclosporine A mediated cardioprotection (Diaz et al., 2013). Moreover, IAA-94-sensitive currents were observed in cardiac

  For the current studies, we used the selective Epac agonist 8CPT-AM to directly activate the proteins. We chose this pharmacological approach since it allows a direct activation of Epacs rather than using receptor agonists such as PGE2 which could introduce confounding variables. One potential conce
