  Oxysterols as Key Players in Metabolic Syndrome? Obesity and sedentary lifestyle are on the rise and pose serious threats to people\'s health and wellbeing. Obesity is often associated with other pathologies and is one of the criteria included in the definition of metabolic syndrome (MetS) (see G

  Previous in vitro and in vivo studies have shown the potent ability of toll-like receptor (TLR) ligands and type I interferon (IFN) signaling to induce CH25H in macrophages and DCs following exposure to innate immune stimuli (Bauman et al., 2009; Diczfalusy et al., 2009; Park and Scott, 2010; Zou et

  Introduction Cholesterol plays a pivotal role as a constituent of biological membranes and as a precursor for vitamins, hormones and bile acids. Accordingly, its production, distribution, and elimination must be tightly regulated at the cellular and organismal level. Accordingly, dysregulated chole

  In view of the hypotensive effect of endothelial-specific overexpression of eNOS [17], [19], [28] we correlated skeletal muscle eNOS expression with sBP including data on colony 5 of eNOS-Tg [17] which was used to generate eNOS-Tg/KO (Fig. 4D). We found a highly significant one phase exponential dec

  Some limitations of this study must be noted. First, since the pretransplant evaluation of the T-cell immune response was performed just before transplantation, we cannot establish whether samples obtained at different times before the transplant would offer similar results, since end terminal disea

  The estrogen receptors: History and discovery In 1958, Elwood Jensen discovered the estrogen receptor, the first receptor ever encountered for any hormone, by showing that reproductive female tissues were able to uptake estrogen from the circulation by binding to proteins. He later demonstrated t

  The question arises as to how the massive conformational changes determining whether APC/CCDC20–MCC is inhibited or able to catalyze MCC ubiquitylation are naturally controlled? This transition likely involves APC/C regions near the subunit APC15, because reducing cellular APC15 levels stabilizes MC

  2020-03-02

  

  Dysfunction of the ubiquitin-proteasome system causes abnormal organelle morphology and impairs sperm formation and maturation steps resulting in male infertility [[7], [8], [9]]; this indicates that ubiquitination is essential for spermatogenesis and sperm function during fertilization. β-catenin i

  β-aminoisobutyric nociceptin receptor (BAIBA) is a natural catabolite of the branched-chain amino acid thymine. BAIBA was recently found to reduce inflammation in skeletal muscle via the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK)-peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)δ signaling pathway. BAIBA

  Nitric oxide (NO) is synthesized by conversion of the l-arginine to NO and l-citrulline through reaction which is catalyzed by nitric oxide synthetase (NOS) (Knowles and Moncada, 1994). NO as an important molecule not only play a role as second messenger but also binds to cytochrome c oxidase and de

  Considering these reports, and with the aim of further investigating the mechanism by which the cAMP-Epac/PKA pathway activates eNOS, we have performed imaging experiments evaluating the effect of drugs that increase cAMP or modify its signalling pathways (PKA or Epac activators and inhibitors) on b

  The differences between ground and transition state properties are exemplified by a comparison of our human–yeast results with those of a structural study of possible differences in ubiquitin-Uba-1 binding in yeast (known structure) with human (simulated in [12]). Their discussion focuses on Ubiquit

  Addition of deoxyuridine to CY11 cultures led to a significant decline in the amount of uracil-DNA (Fig. 5). Deoxyuridine effectively induces the deo operon and is efficiently degraded to uracil and deoxyribose 1-phosphate by the deoA gene product, thymidine phosphorylase; a minor percentage of deox

  In cancer, interactions between the transformed cancer NMS-E973 and other cell types recruited to the tumor are important. Tumor associated macrophages provide cancer cells with a suitable low-grade inflammatory milieu including growth promoting factors. Our results suggest a novel pro-tumorigenic m
