  2024-01-18

  

  The macrophage is the major cell type responsible for cholesterol uptake and metabolism associated with the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis in focal areas of the arterial subendothelial space. In advanced atherosclerotic lesions of cardiovascular disease, cholesterol-induced macrophage

  2024-01-18

  

  The α7 nAChR has been considered an interesting potential target for numerous therapeutic indications over the last two decades, with GTS-21 one of the first candidates proposed for Alzheimer's disease [2], [3], [23]. Unfortunately, although many α7-selective agonists have been developed [21], none

  Compounds – were profiled for their inhibitory activity against dipeptidyl peptidase-IV Activity and/or Structure Homologues (DASH) [e.g. DPP2, DPP8 and DPP9] and non-DASH [eg. post-proline cleaving enzyme (PPCE), neutral endopeptidase (NEP), aminopeptidase P (APP), aminopeptidase N (APN)] enzymes.

  2024-01-18

  

  Additional evidence for a putative role of COXs and 5-LOX in AD derives from pharmacological studies using inhibitors of these enzymes (for review, see Firuzi and Praticò, 2006). In addition to helping delineate the pathobiological mechanisms of AD, these results raise hope for discovering novel the

  2024-01-17

  

  The diagnosis of ICP is currently based on the presence of pruritus, raised fasting serum TBS levels above 10μmol/L, and/or elevated serum transaminases (in the absence of diseases that cause cholestasis or pruritus) as well as spontaneous relief of signs and symptoms within four to six weeks after

  The SKOV3 and SKOV3TR TNP-470 were exposed to stepwise increased concentration of paclitaxel with or without a different concentration of autophagy inhibitor (3-MA or HCQ) to further evaluate whether suppression of autophagy affected the growth and drug sensitivity of ovarian cancer cells in vitro.

  2024-01-17

  

  In the last decade, the zebrafish has emerged as a valuable vertebrate model to systematically dissect the genetic underpinnings of both vertebrate heart development and function [8,9], as well as distinct cardiac diseases such as congenital heart disease [10], cardiomyopathies [11,12] and cardiac a

  2024-01-17

  

  With regard to the first question, subcellular fractionation studies revealed that BDK and PPM1K are clearly detectable in both the mitochondrial and cytosolic subcellular fractions, thus making it possible for these enzymes to interact with both the BCKDH and ACL substrates. The preferential presen

  Several alterations have been or can be associated to the decreased tolerance of steatotic liver to I/R injury. Previous studies demonstrated that upregulation of the mitochondrial uncoupling protein-2 (UP2) is strictly related to the increase of I/R injury in steatotic liver [4]. UPR induction is c

  2024-01-17

  

  Reactive oxygen species is an aspect of oxidative stress which are associated with many diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, inflammation, atherosclerosis and cancers (Collins, 2005; Halliwell, 1994). Thus, the need for naturally occurring antioxidants is of crucial importance. Some biop

  In a human intervention study, blood GSH levels were evaluated over 6 wk in 18 male participants subjected to strenuous aerobic training and a dietary supplement of 1 g of WPI/kg of body mass per day. Blood GSH levels were significantly lower in those subjects who performed exercise that those who d

  Antiangiogenic therapy in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) Antiangiogenic targeted therapy is an area of active research in which numerous agents have been studied and have been shown to be effective for many tumor types including NSCLC. Angiogenesis is frequently upregulated in malignant solid
