  2022-01-24

  

  The Cx family of integral membrane proteins [13] are key components of the Gap Junction channels that provide GJIC, which is indispensable in the preservation of tissue integrity and homeostasis in multicellular organisms. Gap Junction channels form a conduit for exchange of ions (Ca2+), second mess

  2022-01-24

  

  GSMs γ-Secretase cleavage of APP generates a number of Aβ peptides [32], [137]. In most cells Aβ1–37, 38, 39, and 42 are produced at low levels (typically each represents 5–20% of total Aβ detected) and the major species generated is Aβ1–40 (typically over 50% of total Aβ). Other Aβ peptides can

  The improved glucose tolerance of Ffar1R258W/R258W mice on HFD was unexpected. In combination with similar fasting blood glucose levels, the significant lower fasting plasma insulin of mutant mice compared to wild-type mice is indicative of improved insulin sensitivity. However, peripheral insulin r

  In this study, we intended to explore the efficacy of artesunate on liver fibrosis and further clarify its potential molecular mechanism. Artemisinin, a sesquiterpene lactone obtained from a Chinese plant Artemisia annua [27]. Artesunate, as a stable derivative of artemisinin, is an effective drug f

  Introduction The nature of chemotherapies is to relieve the tumor burden of the patients by eliminating cancer alpha-Endorphin via inducing cell death, mostly regulated cell death represented by apoptosis [1,2]. Dozens of anticancer agents including clinically used ones kill cancer cells by prom

  Several studies have reported that the genotype and allele frequencies of S267F vary considerably between different study groups and geographical regions (Ezzikouri et al., 2017, Hu et al., 2016, Lee et al., 2017, Li et al., 2014, Pan et al., 2011, Peng et al., 2015, Yang et al., 2016, Zhang et al.,

  Studies of human and mouse GPR84, as ascertained by mRNA levels in various tissues, have determined that GPR84 is highly expressed on bone marrow cells, splenic T and B cells, and circulating granulocytes/monocytes/macrophages. In the latter cells, mRNA expression of is up-regulated only under infl

  The global spread and ever-increasing incidence of metabolic syndrome over the past few decades has not only categorized it as an ‘epidemic’ but has also dramatically increased the risk of cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. The increase in prevalence of diabetes in the United States alone has bee

  Thermal analysis of the NQ21 peptide was performed with the Solar CM2203 spectrofluorometer. We prepared three 1 μg/mL peptide solutions with different Berberine hydrochloride levels (5.0, 7.4, 8.5) in 0.01 M phosphate buffers. Each solution was slowly heated up from 28 °C to 54 °C with a step of 1

  Cortisol is a natural glucocorticoid hormone produced by the adrenal cortex. Its secretion is stimulated by the sympathetic nervous system, and its main function is to mobilize energy to protect the homeostasis of vital biochemical processes during physical and psychological stress [14]. Chronic lev

  Recently, several studies addressed cytological and biochemical features of oocyte aging. It was reported that cytological changes associated with the mammalian post-ovulatory oocyte aging include chromatin disorganization, abnormal meiotic spindle location or its disruption, partial exocytosis of c

  Herein, exploiting several spectroscopic techniques, i.e. CD, UV and NMR, along with gel electrophoresis, size exclusion chromatography and in silico prediction analysis, the conformational behaviour of R1.2 and R1.3 was studied in Na+- and K+-rich solutions, which mimic the extra- and intracellular
