  2024-02-07

  

  Since obesity appears to impact leptin and adiponectin levels in opposite manners, several studies have suggested that the serum adiponectin/leptin ratio may be a key parameter in indicating the relative risk of postmenopausal breast cancer (Ollberding et al, 2013, Cleary et al, 2009). Therapeutic s

  It has been proposed that a PrP pathogenic mechanism is a toxic gain of function secondary to the misfolding of mutated PrP. However, such a mechanism might not apply to all mutant PrP species, since some mutations had little effect on the stability and folding kinetics of PrP (Swietnicki et al., 19

  Although our sample size is not enough to conclude that there is no great genetic variation of the AR gene in most New World monkeys, it would be reasonable to state that the microsatellite region in the exon 1 of the androgen receptor gene of New World monkeys (platyrrhine) is relatively shorter th

  At the top of the S1 subsite cylinder are two “cap” residues: E572 and M1034 [13]. Atomic structures of PfA-M1 have revealed important clues into potential roles for the cap residues in substrate selection. In the PfA-M1:bestatin co-crystal structure ([13]; Fig. 1), the P1 phenyl ring occupies the S

  Current therapies for metabolic diseases Inborn errors of metabolism caused by deficiency of particular enzymes due to loss of function mutations or deletions have been treated by decreasing the intake of the enzymatic substrate, supplementation with an essential cofactor or vitamin, increasing m

  2024-02-07

  

  The AHR potentially enhances IDO-expression, possibly via crosstalk with several inflammatory signaling pathways (shown by now for IL6 and ‘signal transducer and activator of transcription’ (STAT) 3, and for NFκB, toll like receptor-pathways) [56,59,60]. IDO metabolizes Trp to kynurenines, which ar

  Our initial approach to identify hits was two-pronged and included a high-throughput screening (HTS) campaign of the OSI emca library as well as a virtual screening (VS) campaign, utilizing a publically available crystal structure of ACK1 (PDB code: ). A tolerance for protein flexibility was incorp

  Several approved and/or experimental drugs, together with natural compounds, have been reported to induce autophagy in different cancer types [70], [71], [72] (Table 1). In the next paragraphs, we will review more in detail a group of these agents selected in relation to their promising future outco

  A number of studies indicate the involvement of the classical AR or a splice variant that translocate to the membrane, via a palmitoylation mechanism, similar to ERα (Acconcia et al., 2005, Acconcia et al., 2004, Acconcia et al., 2003), since AR equally contains the required nine amino dantrolene so

  APPL1 was the first adaptor protein identified that interacts directly with adiponectin receptors [18]. A two-hybrid study by Dong and colleagues revealed that the C-terminal extracellular domain of AdipoR1 interacts with adiponectin, whereas the N-terminal cytoplasmic domain of AdipoR1 interacts wi

  Interestingly, as observed with Treg cells, adenosine can regulate the function of Breg cells, a subset of immunosuppressive cells that support immunological tolerance [115]. In particular, Bregs were able to regulate both their own function and T cell activity via an adenosine signaling originating

  Using constant potential amperometry and electrochemical enzyme-based biosensors selective for choline—and, therefore, an accurate readout of Sulfaphenazole release (Baker et al., 2015; Bruno et al., 2006a; Parikh et al., 2004, 2007)—tonic and phasic release of acetylcholine were measured simultane

  Introduction Dementia is a common disease in the elderly, and a significant source of disability, healthcare spending, and long-term care admissions. There is evidence to suggest that testosterone plays a role in cognitive functioning, and lower serum levels correlate with higher amyloid deposits (
