  Materials and methods Results The i.v. administration of urocortin 2 reduced the mean arterial blood pressure in a dose-dependent manner (Fig. 1). The ED50 for the urocortin 2 cumulative dose–response effect on mean arterial blood pressure was 0.014±0.004 mg kg−1. Urocortin 2 administration ha

  The physiological role of the UCNs in the regulation of the HPA axis is still under debate (Fekete and Zorrilla, 2007, Suda et al., 2004). UCN 1 was proved to increase the plasma ACTH and corticosterone levels in rats (Bagosi et al., 2014, Vaughan et al., 1995), whereas UCN 2 and UCN 3 were shown to

  Other pathways involved in the preventive and therapeutic potential of flavonoids in neurodegenerative diseases Rather than the induction of MAPK/ERK pathway, flavonoids actively modulate other critical intracellular neuronal survival and death protein kinases pathways, more importantly PI3K/Akt,

  Nrf2 and HO-1 are key factors in the regulation of oxidative stress in the body. Research has shown that KLF2 can activate Nrf2 and HO-1 [14]. To investigate the mechanisms by which KLF2 regulates eNOS uncoupling and oxidative stress, Nrf2 was inhibited or HO-1 was knocked down in KLF2 overexpressin

  2019-09-10

  

  In addition to vasoconstrictor actions (acute effects), ET-1 exerts potent mitogenic actions on vascular smooth muscle cells and cardiac myocytes (chronic effects), hence causing vascular and cardiac hypertrophy [19,24,25]. These effects are mediated via stimulation of either ETA or ETB receptors, a

  Results Discussion Oxysterols and EBI2 have received growing attention in the field of immunology, with works highlighting an important role for EBI2 in immune cell migration. However, these studies are mainly limited to animal models (Chalmin et al., 2015, Hannedouche et al., 2011, Kelly et a

  TRAF1 and TRAF2 were initially identified as tumor necrosis factor receptor 2 (TNRF2)-associated components, TRAF4 was overexpressed in breast carcinoma cells, whereas TRAF3, TRAF5 and TRAF6 were discovered by their interaction with specific domains in the cytoplasmic tails of trans-membrane recepto

  Multi-subunit RING-type E3 ligases are exemplified by the CULLIN-RING-ligase (CRL) and the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) [19]. CRLs constitute the biggest family of other multi-component E3 ligases. These consist of a cullin scaffold protein (CULLIN 1, 2, 3, 4A, 4B, 5, 7), a substrate

  Eggs have been recognized as an important contributor of functional ingredients for humans [3]. Egg yolk is composed of various biologically active proteins. The water-soluble proteins of egg yolk have been examined for their functional effects on longitudinal bone growth during the growth period in

  Our results demonstrate that 17-pt-PGE2 - in addition to its described effects on EP1 and EP3 receptors - also acts as an EP4 agonist and thereby enhances vascular barrier function. Materials and methods Results Discussion In this study we demonstrate that the purported EP1/EP3 receptor ag

  ET-1 expression occurs in many carcinomas, including those arising in the kidney [38], prostate [7], ovary [5] endometrium [39], melanocyte [40], and central nervous system [41], [42], among others [43]. The endothelin axis expression in RCC appears to be dependent upon the tumor subtype [38]. In se

  While we previously demonstrated that TraG is inhibited by specific transglycosylase inhibitors and that enzymatic activity is strongly reduced upon mutation of the potential catalytic core (Arends et al., 2013), the enzymatic mechanism of both domains was not assigned.
