  2024-08-23

  

  Pregnane X receptor (PXR) is a nuclear receptor that plays an important role in regulation of metabolism and disposition of structurally diverse xenobiotics as well as endogenous steroids and bile acids (Bertilsson et al., 1998, Kliewer et al., 1998, Lehmann et al., 1998). PXR regulates the metaboli

  Concluding remarks Following the disappointing outcomes of Aβ immunotherapy trials for AD [62], the current prevailing concept is that disease-modifying therapy must be initiated from the presymptomatic stage of the disease because of the presumed incurability of chronic diseases once they become

  Until now, the molecular interactions of Tmod or Lmod with Phenformin had been assessed in pyrene-actin polymerization assays [13], [23], [27], [28], [44], [45] or directly measured using non-denaturing polyacrylamide gel-electrophoresis (for Tmod isoforms only [23]), ITC (for Tmod1 and Lmod2) [43]

  The fact that the α1-BPloopAsn141 regains its α-Btx binding with a Kd similar to that of the wild type α1 ECD [18], suggests that the AChBP Cys-loop does not interfere with the correct conformation of the mutant ECD. Data from analogous mutants of the human neuronal α7 subunit ECD showed improved li

  False positivity of Anti-AChR Ab titers, due to cross reactivity with bungarotoxin, has previously been demonstrated. One such study reported that patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, who had received long term snake venom therapy, had developed antibodies to bungarotoxin and hence demonstra

  2024-08-22

  

  6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) is a selective catecholaminergic neurotoxin mainly used to generate lesions in the nigrostriatal pathway in rats (Ungerstedt, 1968). The most common use of 6-OHDA is via unilateral injection into the rat medial forebrain bundle (MFB). DA depletion, nigral DA cell loss, and

  For these reasons, the role played by autophagy in environmental neurotoxicity is not always easily determinable. Indeed, although the neuroprotective role of autophagy has been shown by several studies, sometimes induction of autophagy was associate with deleterious effects (Glick et al., 2010, Sri

  However, there are studies revealing the “dark side” of autophagy at later stages in cancers, when oncogenes (mainly K-ras and B-raf) are activated and/or tumour suppressors such as PTEN and p53 are inactivated. These studies are based on the use of GEMM and deletions of essential autophagy genes (A

  In the current study, we showed that known inhibitors of the F-ATPase and ionophores affect the growth of P. gingivalis and its plasma membrane ATPase, suggesting that the membrane ATPase can be a target for anti-periodontitis agents. We also identified stilbenoids that strongly inhibit the growth o

  The α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic 740 Y-P receptor (AMPA) receptor is also enriched in postsynaptic striatal neurons (Bernard et al., 1997, Kondo et al., 2000, Reimers et al., 2011). Its activity is subjected to the regulation by a mechanism involving phosphorylation (Lu and Roche

  In our previous report, salivary arginase levels were found to be higher in periodontitis patients compared to healthy controls (Ozmeriç, Elgün, & Uraz, 2000). However, only one study has investigated arginase ezyme in saliva in patients with dental implants in which smokers were also included. An i

  In order to determine whether the faster Rh2-induced apoptosis is specific of cholesterol depletion, we determined the cytotoxic effect of Rh2 in BAY 11-7082 depleted or not in sphingomyelin, another abundant plasma membrane lipid exhibiting enrichment in lipid rafts. We showed that, in contrast to

  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

  We found that decreased Ng levels lead to a lower threshold for LTD induction at L4–L2/3 synapses. Previous studies in hippocampal slice culture have shown that LTD at individual synapses induces spine elimination at both the targeted synapse and selective neighboring synapses when spines are monito
