  2022-06-17

  

  As ghrelin effects are suspected to be mediated by a heterogeneous population of G-protein-coupled-receptors [2], [21], other so far unknown subtypes of ghrelin receptors differing from the classical GHSR-1a may additionally exist that might also mediate ghrelin effects on the heart. Thus, the real

  Central control of GI ghrelin secretion The CNS communicates with the GI tract through the vagus nerve originating in the DMV and sympathetic spinal afferents emanating from the thoracic spinal chord (Bray, 2000). The cells that secrete peripheral ghrelin are under direct control of these two pat

  Activators Many compounds are known to influence the activity of Ca2+-activated K+ channels, and since hIK1 was cloned more insight has been gained on compounds that have the capacity to increase channel activity. Activation by divalent metal cations has been investigated, with Ca2+, Pb2+, Cd2+,

  In the last years, a plethora of studies overstepped the classic concept of the ENS as purely modulator of GI secretion and motility, focusing on its potential as source of substances acting on immune cells and consequently involved in the control of local inflammatory events, as in the Inflammatory

  Materials and methods Results Discussion Induction of neuronal cell death is the main neurotoxic mechanism of arsenite (Vahidnia et al., 2007). Previous studies have demonstrated that arsenite may trigger neuronal cell death via apoptosis, autophagy as well as necrosis (Yen et al., 2012; La

  A species-specific diverse number of FPPS genes are present in insect genomes (Zhang and Li, 2008, Cusson et al., 2006). The genome of the yellow fever mosquito Aedes aegypti contains a single FPPS gene (AaFPPS) that is highly expressed in the CA (Nouzova et al., 2011). FPPS catalytic activity in th

  2022-06-17

  

  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

  2022-06-16

  

  Patients with SCI often develop chronic neuropathic pain, which further deteriorates their quality of life [5]. This condition results from functional and structural plastic changes that occur centrally following injury to spinal cord neurons and glia, and include changes in receptor function and si

  It is important to note that the GC-C expression is retained in colon tumours, and therefore GC-C expression can be used as a marker to diagnose metastatic colon cancer [42]. However, expression of uroguanylin and guanylin is often lost in colorectal cancer progression [43]. Therefore, the anti-prol

  This evidence suggests that the human cochlea is equipped with antigen presenting macrophages as well as T lymphocytes that execute cytotoxic and immune mediation function. In an animal study, following acoustic overstimulation, Yang et al. (2015) found infiltration of macrophages into the region of

  After initial validation of the ability of Ad5-Cre virus to express Cre recombinase protein in glial cells in vitro and in vivo, we employed this virus to induce site-specific deletion of our target GlyT1 in the thalamus, through injection of the cKO GlyT1 mice. This transgenic line was constructed

  The presence of an active glyoxalase pathway in an apicomplexan parasite was first reported in Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes (Vander Jagt et al., 1990). Some years later, glyoxalase I and both glyoxalase II enzymes were characterized in this parasite (Akoachere et al., 2005, Iozef et

  In the gastrointestinal (GI) tract CART expression has been described in the enteric nervous system in rats (Ekblad et al., 2003), pigs (Wierup et al., 2007), sheep (Arciszewski et al., 2009), guinea pigs (Ellis and Mawe, 2003) and humans (Kasacka et al., 2012).

  Although 3D reconstruction of an invertebrate gap junction channel from native tissue of crayfish was reported in 1991, the negative-staining EM imaging was limited to low-resolution structural analysis [39]. The oligomeric number of innexin channels was believed to be the same as that in connexin
