  Thus, the understanding of the various mechanisms of action of estrogen and SERMs is an important medical challenge and could help to develop an “ideal” SERM, preserving the beneficial effects of estrogen in the bone and urogenital system, and reducing the unwanted side effects, mainly increased ris

  In bone, PGE2 exerts both anabolic and catabolic effects [6], [7], [8], [9]. Administration of PGE2 to mice lacking each of the four prostanoid receptors identified EP4 as the primary mediator of PGE2-induced bone formation [10]. While the role of EP1 in osteoblastic differentiation and bone metabol

  Introduction With an annual world production of around 750 million tons, wheat is grown on more agricultural area than any other food crop and is the main source of plant protein in human nutrition [1,2]. Wheat is composed of 8–15% protein, from which 85–90% is gluten [3]. The unique viscoelastic a

  Significance Dysregulation of dopamine homeostasis contributes to Parkinson's disease (PD). The nuclear receptor Nurr1 plays a central role in dopamine homeostasis, regulating the transcription of Senexin A mg governing the synthesis, packaging, and reuptake of dopamine. Efforts to capitalize on

  In conclusion, over-expression of Stokesia epoxygenase (SlEPX) in soybean seeds led to some unusual seed phenotypes. These effects can be overcome by coexpression of Vernonia DGATs (VgDGAT1 & 2). The DGATs can specifically transfer vernolic famous beauty spot into TAG, largely reducing vernolic acid

• Sequence alignment of cfALDH with the human ALDH

  2021-03-04

  

  Sequence alignment of cfALDH with the human ALDH1 indicates that the cyanobacterial protein contains the same GQCC motif as the human ALDH1 and ALDH2 proteins [24] (Fig. 1d, highlighted in red, and Supplementary Fig. 2). This motif is present in ALDH1/2 orthologues and these residues reside at the b

  Oral antipsychotics are substrates of CYP450 enzymes, which are crucial to their metabolism and elimination (Fig. 1). The efficacy and toxicity of antipsychotic agents is affected by factors that induce or inhibit CYP450 expression and function, such as drug–drug interactions. Additionally, the mult

  As previously stated, the most unexpected finding from this series of compounds was the identification of a dimethyl isoxazole side chain that gave dramatically improved binding over the parent compounds. Holding this piece of the molecule constant, a series of analogs were made to further understan

  Another breakthrough towards the understanding of the mechanisms responsible for stress-induced relapse to drug seeking behaviour is the evidence published by the group of Wise [34] in which they show that the activation of VTA CRF2 and not CRF1 receptors is responsible for stress-mediated relapse t

  Cholesterol handling in the arterial wall cells Foam cell formation in the arterial intima is a major hallmark of early-stage atherosclerotic lesions, which is attributed to uncontrolled uptake of modified lipoproteins, excess cholesterol esterification and impaired cholesterol release [44]. As a

  Genomic and non-genomic signaling crosstalk As exemplified in the previous sections, it is evident that the mechanisms of action of estrogen in the various cell targets represent a combination of complex multifactorial processes. Besides the independent genomic and non-genomic pathways described

  2021-03-03

  

  RHA is an agricultural by-product obtained from the burning process of rice hull [7], [8]. Rice hull is the outer layer of paddy grain. About 20% of rice hull converts into RHA when it is burnt during the myosin inhibitor generation processes [8], [9]. If RHA produced at less than 700 °C, it chemic

  In normal chow fed mice, EP4 deficiency also decreased the expression of CYP8B1, the downstream target of CYP7A1. Similarly, knockdown of EP4 with small interfering RNA reduced the expression of CYP8B1 in HepG2 cells. Therefore, it was anticipated that there would be an increased expression of CYP8B

  Mammalian cells contain significant amounts of a relatively lesser known enzyme that shows marked specifity for ether lipids containing AA and other 20–22 carbon fatty acids. This enzyme is called CoA-independent transacylase (CoA-IT), and transfers polyunsaturated moieties of 20–22 carbons, typical

  O-GlcNAc transferase OGT belongs to the metal-independent GT-B superfamily of glycosyltransferases, which has been well-reviewed previously [14,15]. OGT is an essential gene encoded on the X-chromosome, and it has two main regions: a long N-terminal tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) region and a C-t
