  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

  2019-10-15

  

  Prostaglandin E receptor subtype 4 (EP4) is a transmembrane G-coupled protein receptor activated by prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). EP4 activation exerts anti-inflammatory effects in adipose tissue by dampening the levels of inflammatory chemokines [12]. In the mouse, EP4 deficiency aggravates fragmentatio

  Materials and methods Results Overexpression of KLF2 increased the cell viability and reduced the LDH leakage rate and O2•− and ONOO− generation in H/R HUVEC model. To evaluate the effect of KLF2 on H/R HUVEC injury, KLF2 was overexpressed in HUVECs. Cell viability and extracellular LDH level

  Introduction As a serine proteinase and a sub-family of the chymotrypsin-like proteinase, Glutamyl endopeptidase (GE), which is mainly found in Bacillus species, specifically cleaves negatively charged amino 193 2 residues (Glu/Asp) (Yokoi et al., 2001). Madsen et al. (Madsen & Qvist, 1997) repo

  2019-10-14

  

  cAMP-mediated signaling pathways are important for maintaining metabolic homeostasis, and the effects of the glucagon/catecholamine–cAMP–PKA axis on energy balance have been well documented [20]. For example, NS 1738 of the PKA 2β regulatory subunit (RIIβ) in mice leads to increased expression of u

  A structural explanation for how RBR RING1s handle their bound E2~Ubs differently from canonical RINGs has not been readily apparent. Only a few residue positions are strongly conserved in RING and RING1 domains, most of which are zinc-coordinating Cys and histidine residues. A key position in canon

  Members of the Nudix family typically contain a 23-amino-acid sequence (Nudix box) of GxExREUxEExGU, where U is usually Ile, Leu, or Val and x represents any amino acid. The EUxEE core residues serve as anchors for an Mg ligand that associates with a characteristic pyrophosphate linkage that is comm

  Introduction Lycium barbarum, also known as wolfberry, belongs to the plant family Solanaceae. Red-coloured fruits of L. barbarum are used as traditional Chinese herbal medicine to promote health and longevity and as a food supplement for thousands of years [1]. They possess many biological activ

  A range of therapies exists for the treatment of inflammation-driven diseases, which can be summarized as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), corticoids and steroidal-related drugs (Ward et al., 2008). Despite of these notable successes, there are still major unmet medical needs in the t

  Interestingly, ASV-30 infusion in the dRN of saline pre-treated rats had no effect on anxiety-like behaviors. This result may be due to the saline pre-treated group exhibiting relatively low levels of anxiety-like behaviors (when compared to saline pre-treated rat of the first experiment that were n

  Sex has been shown to mediate the relationship between allelic differences in COMT and behavior (Harrison & Tunbridge, 2008). The COMT promoter region contains 2 estrogen response elements (Xie, Ho, & Ramsden, 1999) that can inhibit the formation of COMT (Jiang, Xie, Ramsden, & Ho, 2003). With regar

  In recent years, there has been much interest within the endothelin community regarding the possibility that ETA and ETB receptors may form homo- and heterodimers. Heterodimerization of endothelin receptors may provide an explanation for the results mentioned in the previous paragraph and might also

  Nevertheless, because of the preclinical work and the interference with EWS–FLI1 transcriptional activity, we believe that there may be a role for ET-743 in Ewing sarcoma. An analysis of the pharmacokinetic data published in the phase II clinical trial shows that at most the drug spent 5 to 6days ou
