  It has been reported that trehalose shows beneficial effects in a mouse model of several neurodegenerative diseases [21], [22], [23]. There are also reports showing that trehalose can improve the impaired cognitive and learning ability and reduced Aβ deposit in hippocampus of APP/PS1 transgenic mice

  2024-05-08

  

  Introduction AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is mainly known as a highly conserved and ubiquitously expressed energy sensor that is highly sensitive to changes in cellular energy levels (by sensing increases in AMP:ATP and ADP:ATP ratios) and makes appropriate adjustment to balance the consumpt

  Initially, DPP4, DPP7, and prolyl tripeptidyl peptidase A (PtpA) were the only exopeptidases identified in P. gingivalis. These share substrates according to their altered specificities, as DPP4 is highly specific for Pro at the penultimate position from the N-terminus (P1 position), though it accep

  2024-05-08

  

  Most of the identified aldose reductase inhibitors possess undesirable effects like poor pharmacokinetic properties, hypersensitivity and Steven-Johnson Syndrome [1]. However, the main side effect is the lack of selectivity relative to aldehyde reductase (ALR1, EC 1.1.1.2). ALR1 plays the important

  Additionally, we were prompted to validate the protective effect of ALDH3A1 by utilizing a human corneal model. Cornea is located in the anterior segment of the eye and thus, is constantly exposed to various environmental stressors that affect the cellular oxidative balance and consequently lead to

  By promoting bundling and processive elongation of Ivermectin receptor filaments and inhibiting association of capping protein with filament barbed ends, Ena/VASP family proteins contribute to the dynamics of lamellipodia and filopodia [41] and maintenance of focal adhesions and tight junctions [42

  Materials and methods Results Discussion Very few ARF inhibitors have been developed to study the key functions these small GTP-binding proteins play in pathophysiology. The natural compound Brefeldin A (BFA) has exhibited drastic effects in cells such as collapse of the Golgi because of it

  It is well accepted that PKA is a key enzyme activated at the beginning of the capacitation process [69]. As mentioned above phosphorylation/inactivation of cofilin in sperm is a PKA dependent process [58]. We could not see any change in cofilin phosphorylation level by adding the PKA activator 8Br-

  2024-05-08

  

  Introduction In myasthenia gravis (MG), autoantibodies against the native AChR conformation cause loss of AChR at the neuromuscular junction and fatigable muscle weakness (Newsom-Davis et al., 1993). The AChR is a pentameric transmembrane protein, with two splice forms of the α-subunit, P3A− and

  The molecular mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of cholestatic pruritus remain unknown [45], [46]. Indeed, there has been an enormous effort at understanding the etiology of PBC-related pruritus, including work at the cellular and molecular level, but such efforts have not been translated into

  Based on the extracellular domain structures, we can infer that the dimer arrangement of GABAB receptor will undergo substantial changes upon receptor activation (Geng et al., 2013). First, agonist-stimulated closure of GABAB1 VFT would cause an upward rotation of its LB2 domain, coupled with an inw

  Introduction Initially postulated to represent the main source of ATP production in eukaryotic cells, mitochondria are recently recognized to perform manifold essential functions beyond energy production, impacting most areas of cell biology and medicine [1]. Mitochondrial metabolism is both the ba

  We further evaluated the possibility whether letrozole mediates its effect through diverting the pathway towards 5α-DHT and further to 3α-Diol. For this purpose, we measured the concentrations of 5α-DHT and 3α-Diol in mice hippocampus and found that letrozole elevated both 5α-DHT and 3α-Diol levels
