  The direction of research then turned to investigating the long-term effects of adiponectin on insulin resistance. Adiponectin transgenic mice showed a reduction in insulin resistance and diabetes [5,6], while adiponectin-deficient mice showed mild insulin resistance with glucose intolerance, as wel

  2023-09-28

  

  Pioneering studies on the immunomodulatory role of adenosine date back to the early ‘70 s of last century (Fig. 1), when the critical role of this nucleoside in shaping the development and the activity of several immune cell populations was first established [[18], [19], [20], [21], [22]]. This then

  Acknowledgment Introduction Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) exhibit the capacity to switch between a differentiated (contractile) and a dedifferentiated (synthetic) phenotype [1]. Synthetic VSMC express a lower amount of contractile proteins such as Smooth muscle 22α (sm22α) and α-Smooth m

  Several reports of single cases of MG patients treated with Rituximab have claimed a favourable response (Baek et al., 2007, Gajra et al., 2004, Hain et al., 2006, Thakre et al., 2007, Wylam et al., 2003, Zaja et al., 2000). We report our experience with Rituximab in 6 patients with severe MG, 3 pa

  Introduction 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) is found throughout the body and influences smooth muscle activity in various tissues including the intestine, vasculature and urinary Punicalin synthesis (Kim and Camilleri, 2000, Klarskov and Horby-Petersen, 1986, Mohammad-Zadeh et al., 2008). The current

  2023-09-27

  

  Pompe disease is accompanied by the deficiency of the lysosomal α-1,4-glucosidase that makes the Bayluscide unable to hydrolyze glycogen to glucose, thereby resulting in the accumulation of glycogen in lysosomes, especially in skeletal muscles and cardiac tissues. This accumulation results in the st

  Among the most important Ca regulatory mechanisms are the Plasma Membrane Calcium ATPase (PMCA) and Sarcoplasmic Reticulum Calcium ATPase (SERCA). These pumps belong to the family of P-ATPases, which share the formation of an acid-stable phosphorylated intermediate as part of their reaction cycle. P

  The compounds containing beryllium act as strong Lewis acids because of electron deficiency of the Be BAY 41-8543 receptor []. Interactions of X-Be-Y compounds with different Lewis bases have been studied by Yanez and co-workers [], extensively. Recently, they proposed a class of extremely strong bi

  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).

  Prostate cell growth and prostate carcinogenesis are not only mediated by androgens, they are also dependent on functional insulin receptor (IR) and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) receptor (IGF1R) signaling. Previous studies addressed this issue and reported a correlation between high insulin
