  The beneficial treatment with several statins have been evaluated in AD patients (Kivipelto et al., 2005), with controversial results. It has been suggested that statins slow cognitive decline in mild to moderate AD (Miida et al., 2005). Treatment with atorvastatin, combined with other medications,

  2023-08-22

  

  An important and well-documented pathway involved in cellular growth and proliferation is the mTOR-mediated synthesis of proteins and lipids [7,13,14]. Although found to be tissue specific or context specific regulation, it has always been observed that either one or both the mTOR complexes regulat

  Secondly, as pointed out by Sulentic and Kaminski in their recent paper [90], most of the AhR literature to date has focused on mouse AhR. Although both mouse and human AhR are interchangeable in many in vitro systems, the in vivo ligand binding affinity is drastically different between the two AhRs

  Despite functional studies demonstrating the role of 5-HT in ureteral contractility, the source of endogenous 5-HT in the ureter is unclear. Since 5-HT-containing enterochromaffin cells, which are present in the gastrointestinal tract, could not be found in the ureter (Nocito et al., 2007, Ripoche,

  For both, the 17α-hydroxylation and 17, 20-lyase reactions, the heme iron center of P450 17A1 receives electron reducing equivalents from CPR. Both reactions require one pair of electrons and molecular oxygen for the conversion of the substrate into product in each catalytic cycle. However, the 17,2

  2023-08-22

  

  The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) plays an important role in a variety of cell processes by controlling transcriptional or translational regulation [14]. There are three major MAPK family members that have been well characterized: extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), c-Jun N-termin

  2023-08-22

  

  It has been demonstrated that the hallmarks of pulmonary fibrosis are a loss of endothelial function and subsequent activation of the immune system, which is considered as a direct outcome affected by intracellular pro-inflammatory responses [26]. Thus, inhibition of early inflammation could be an i

  While there is much in vivo work on prion-like Aβ, it has not been shown that one can induce inclusions of Aβ in cultured cells as has been shown for tau and α-synuclein. One reason is practical; Aβ is a low molecular weight metabolite cleaved from within the larger amyloid precursor protein (APP) a

  Protein blast analysis of the sequence of globin-B with those of other leukotriene receptor antagonists suggests that the globin-B domain in the HemAC-Lm displays only 6% identity and 34% similarity with that of cytoglobin/neuroglobin (Fig. 2). Furthermore, SWISS-MODEL protein modeling also predict

  Silk, which is a mixture of mainly SF and sericin, has an extensive history in clinical application as a suture material. Unwanted immune reactions to silk sutures observed early on in their application were assigned to the presence of sericin. However, in vitro and in vivo evaluations of pure SF fi

  Some alterations in the integrity of cell membranes caused by toxic agents can be determined by measuring certain enzymes released by damaged cells [8]. The cholinesterases, for example, catalyze the hydrolysis of Almorexant (ACh) in choline and acetic acid. Theses enzymes are divided into two type

  Receptors containing an αx/γy subunit interface, where x=1, 2, 3, 5 and y=1–3, form a high-affinity binding site for benzodiazepines (Figure 1A), for the later developed Z-drugs of different chemotypes, and for a large number of chemically distinct research compounds 17, 18 (Box 1 for examples). For

  In addition to calpain I activity, cathepsin activities have been proven to be linked to apoptotic signaling. Cathepsin B and cathepsin D are two of the most abundant and well-investigated lysosome acid-dependent proteases that are involved in the apoptotic regulation (Ferri & Kroemer, 2001). Cathep

  During the course of angiogenesis, the overactivated angiogenic stimulators are responsible for carrying out abnormal proliferation in the retinal microvasculature, resulting in the formation of various immature blood vessels. These newly formed blood vessels become the prime spots for leakage of th
