  2022-05-04

  

  The action of niacin in upregulating cAMP is most likely determined by the milieu of adenylyl cyclase isoforms expressed in macrophages that are responsive to GPR109A activation. Several adenylyl cyclase isoforms, namely AC2, AC4 and AC7, are responsive to the stimulatory action of Gβγ G-protein sub

  2022-05-04

  

  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

  Experimental Acknowledgment This work was supported in part by a Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan. Glyoxalase I (GLO1) is a zinc enzyme that catalyzes the isomerization of a hemithioacetal, formed from glut

  2022-05-04

  

  Both anxiety-like behavior and sucrose preference/intake were reduced in GPR40/FFAR1 KO male mice, while social behavior was normal in KO mice. These findings indicate that brain GPR40/FFAR1 is involved in the modulation of anxiety- and depression-like behavior in rodents. Previous studies have demo

  Dysregulation of glutamate transporter expression and function Aberrant glutamate transporter function and expression are associated with various neurological disorders. Therefore, understanding the underlying mechanisms of EAAT1/2 expression may provide therapeutic targets for treating neurologi

  Next, the effects of a phenyl group at the 3- and 4-positions of the furan on GCGR affinity were investigated (). Surprisingly, despite the lack of a 4-phenyl group at the furan, compound exhibited almost the same GCGR affinity as compound . On the other hand, when the phenyl group at the 3-positio

  2022-05-04

  

  Genetic disruption or pharmacologic inhibition of the hepatic glucagon pathway has invariably been shown to increase pancreatic α cell mass. This has been observed in glucagon receptor (GCGR) knockout (Gcgr−/−) mice (Gelling et al., 2003), glucagon knockout mice (Hayashi et al., 2009), prohormone co

  2022-05-04

  

  Zn2+ is the second most abundant trace metal in many cells and neurons in the brain. It regulates cellular functions such as gene expression, epigenetic enzymatic activity, protein structural stability, and neuronal plasticity. Zn2+ is particularly abundant in the cortex and limbic system, including

  The highest metabolic stability observed for compound 4k (EC50=0.41μM corresponding to 218ng/mL) among the four selected frontrunner candidates was the principal decisive point in nominating this compounds for pharmacokinetic characterization in mice at the dosage of 10mg/kg (administered intravenou

  Herein, we describe the design and optimization of fused-ring phenyl propanoic acids as novel GPR40 agonists, leading to the discovery of compound 40a which exhibits excellent pharmacokinetic properties, improved hepatobiliary transporter inhibition, and significant glucose-lowering efficacy during

  We compared the mixotrophic growth of mutant DRHB1486 and the wild-type at different light intensities. The mutant grew at a similar rate as the wild-type at a low light intensity but much more slowly at a high light intensity (Fig. 3). Because the slr2094 mutant was unable to grow under photoautotr

  Several Caspase-10/b, human recombinant protein of small-molecule inhibitors of FBPase have been reported. These inhibitors can be structurally classified into two groups; non-phosphorus-based inhibitors and phosphorus-based inhibitors. In the former group, several chemotypes including anilinoquina

  Over decades, a deeper understanding of terpene synthases has also permitted enzyme engineering for unnatural substrate acceptance. Novel terpenoids have been successfully synthesized from substrate analogues as by-products from mechanistic investigation (Faraldos et al., 2012; Miller, Yu, & Alleman

  Our extensive preliminary data suggest that the loss of p300 (and resulting H3K27ac) is related to inorganic arsenic related diseases. Therefore, it may open a new avenue for alleviating the consequence of H3K27ac, for example, via boosting CBP enzymatic activity for at least partially compensating

  The Hippo pathway is a growth control signaling cascade that has been demonstrated to play an important role in regulating cell proliferation and differentiation [5,6]. The core signaling pathway consists of a group of kinases which negatively regulate the expression of transcriptional co-activators
