  Overnight 1-mg dexamethasone suppression testing (DST) of the BclI polymorphism carriers found them to have lower cortisol levels, suggesting an increased sensitivity to GCs with respect to the transrepression effect of cortisol on the POMC gene of the corticotroph pituitary cells [28]. The exact me

  Inflammatory pain is very common in the clinic. A study demonstrated that galanin was upregulated after nerve injury or inflammation (Ma and Bisby, 1997). It has been reported that galanin plays an important role in the transmission of nociceptive information in the spinal cord of rats with inflamma

  Materials and methods This is a retrospective case-controlled study. The cases were selected based on the presence or absence of preeclampsia. Women enrolled in the study delivered singleton pregnancies at our institution from June 2003 to July 2004. Preeclampsia is defined as elevated blood pres

  Acknowledgments Introduction Stress plays a key role in the etiology and/or exacerbation of major depressive disorder characterized by loss of energy, feelings of hopelessness and anhedonia [1]. Ample evidence clearly suggests that endocannabinoids (eCBs) participate in stress-associated neurona

  Introduction Heme is an important small molecule and an essential cofactor for a variety of enzymes (George, 1948; Morrison and Stotz, 1954; Maehly, 1952; Igo et al., 1961). During cellular respiration, heme populates cytochromes and serves as an electron acceptor in the electron transport chain (M

  As well as the above studies, Meier and coworkers used TUG-891, alongside omega-3 fatty acids, to show a potential role for FFA4 in inhibiting proliferation of DU145 prostate cancer cells [68]. Given that these cells express both FFA4 and FFA1 and the current view that TUG-891 may not be sufficientl

  2021-10-22

  

  A major hurdle in purifying a membrane protein is finding a detergent that can preserve the protein, after releasing it from a given membrane, in a stable and non-aggregated state during purification steps [18,50]. The ability of various detergents used to solubilize and purify membrane proteins ha

  A myriad of receptors in WM To complicate the picture, WM glia express numerous non-glutamatergic neurotransmitter receptors, a fact that is often underappreciated when considering pathophysiology. When examined in isolated optic nerve, a central WM tract completely devoid of neuronal synapses, r

  The small conductance Ca-activated K+ (SKCa; SK, SKCa, KCa2) channels are recognized as a subfamily of KCa channels (Bond, Maylie, & Adelman, 1999). The SKCa channel is encoded by three distinct genes, KCNN1, KCNN2, and KCNN3 with different sensitivities toward apamin. Different with BKCa channels

  Introduction Isoprenoid structures play an essential role in biology and over 30,000 natural products of this class are known (Greenhagen et al., 2003). Like other animals, insects require these compounds for many disparate processes, including electron transport (e.g., ubiquinones), protein glyc

  2021-10-21

  

  Entry into CNS is tightly regulated by highly dynamic barriers, namely, the BBB, the blood-CSF barrier, and the arachnoid epithelium (Abbott et al., 2010; Yasuda et al., 2013). Similar barriers also exist within the CNS including the ependymal barrier as well as the cellular membrane barriers of the

  2021-10-21

  

  Another key component of proper DA cell physiology is the basal firing activity of SN DA neurons, which maintains extracellular levels of dopamine in the dorsal striatum that are essential for voluntary movement [106]. Changes in SN DA neuron activity directly impacts the amount of dopamine released

  Therefore as it stands, presenilin has a γ-secretase-independent role in regulating protein trafficking, proteolysis and degradation, however given that inhibition of γ-secretase activity can have a negative effect on protein trafficking [69], [98], we cannot exclude the possibility that some of the

  Introduction Alzheimer's disease (AD) affects ca. 46 million people worldwide [1] and it is expected that the number will double or triple by 2030 or 2050, respectively, while no significant progress has been made in research for early diagnosis and new efficient therapies.
