  Introduction The allergic response is a complex process involving the interaction of several mediators; among these, cysteinyl leukotrienes (CysLTs) represent one of the most important actors in the pathogenesis of airway allergic diseases such as allergic rhinitis and asthma [1]. Pharmacological

• Testosterone is inactivated through hydroxylation

  2019-11-27

  

  Testosterone is inactivated through hydroxylation and conjugation pathways [3], [4]. 6β-Hydroxylation is the main pathway among testosterone hydroxylation processes in the liver microsome. Testosterone 6β-hydroxylation is mainly catalyzed by cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A) [5], [6], which is expressed in

  2019-11-26

  

  Although the formation and toxicity of DPC is theoretically acceptable, it is difficult to evaluate the specific role of DPC and its repair enzyme MGMT in the cytotoxic and mutagenic effects because DPCs are estimated to constitute only 1%–3% of total DNA damage when ORY-1001 are exposed to bis-ele

  Given the structural similarity of BMAA to other amino acids, our hypothesis was that N-nitrosation of BMAA might result in a toxic alkylating agent, providing a previously unrecognised mechanism for BMAA action. Materials and methods Results and discussion We first examined whether chemical

  These cytokines, except for TGF-β can also increase CysLT1R mRNA expression. We further demonstrated that TGF-β and IL-13 were able to increase the proliferation of human BSMC in response to LTD4. BSMC proliferation was CysLT1R-dependent, given that Montelukast ablated this effect. Taken together, o

  Although many neurotransmitters (e.g., catecholamines, serotonin, and excitatory/inhibitory amino acids) have been implicated in the modulation of anxiety-like responses (Carobrez et al., 2001, Molchanov and Guimaraes, 2002, Vianna et al., 2001), the so-called atypical neurotransmitters, endocannabi

  It should also be noted that remarkable individual differences in extinguished fear bradycardia (i.e., CS+E vs. CS−E) during initial Day 2 recall test were observed, particularly within Met carriers. Exploratory analyses revealed that these individual differences were partly driven by the level of r

  2019-11-26

  

  The mechanism by which OC use leads to impaired glucose tolerance is yet to be fully clarified. Decreased insulin sensitivity appears to be mainly accounted for by estrogenic component and this effect may be modified by progestogenic component [14], [15]. Estrogenic effect on glucose tolerance has b

  2019-11-26

  

  EPAC activation in VSMCs and ECs reverses several processes involved in the development of in-stent restenosis. Of particular relevance is the ability of EPAC1 to induce SOCS3 gene expression, as SOCS3 exerts multiple protective effects in both cell types, while immunohistochemical studies have sho

  Future advances in the in vivo molecular imaging of enzyme activity will greatly benefit from the progress towards the quantitative detection of enzymes. Quantitative imaging requires knowledge of both the location and concentration of a specific enzyme, which is dependent on the simultaneous measur

  A major physiological action of ET-1 is to function as one of the most powerful vasoconstrictors of human blood vessels. As such, ET-1 plays a major role in regulating vascular function in all organ systems, including the kidney (Fig. 1). As in other vessels, ET-1 is thought to be released from en

  In mammals, NETs contain DNA and antimicrobial proteins composed mainly of nuclear histones, granule-derived neutrophil elastase, myeloperoxidase, lactoferrin, pentraxin, and gelatinase among others [11], [46], [47], [48]. In fish, NETs-like structures have been observed, and DNA staining and immuno
