  Preliminary remarks Expression of the transcription factor aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) and the AHR-repressor (AHRR) are both strikingly high in the chloride channels of barrier organs skin and gut [1,2]. It is generally assumed that this reflects their role in linking environmental factors t

  In glaucoma, the primary retinal defect appears in the GCL, whereas the other retinal layers appear normal (Kendell et al., 1995). In the current work, chronic elevation of IOP induced RGC apoptosis, especially in the GCL, and α2 adrenergic treatment reduced RGC apoptosis. Various studies have repor

  2024-09-12

  

  Introduction Glaucoma consists of a group of eye diseases showing a broad spectrum of clinical presentation and unknown aetiologies, that lead to a permanent loss of visual function due to the death of retinal ganglion protease inhibitor cocktail and damage of the optical nerve. It is well accepte

  2024-09-12

  

  The AChR is composed of five homologous, membrane-spanning subunits. AChRs containing two α, one β, one δ and one γ subunit (AChRγ) predominate during embryonic development and mice lacking AChRγ die at birth (Takahashi et al., 2002). After birth, the AChRγs are replaced during the first 2 postnatal

  ACE inhibition is often thought to play a central role in the mechanisms of blood pressure reduction in vivo, and most ACE inhibitory (ACEi) peptides were characterized based on in vitro ACE inhibition. A relationship between in vitro ACE inhibition and antihypertensive activity, however, is not app

  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 (

  In the present study we sought to decipher the role of ATP-citrate lyase and of the mitochondrial NADH-dependent Mae in the oleaginous yeast Y. lipolytica. Indeed, although this yeast is one of the major models for lipid metabolism, the function of these enzymes is still not clear. As the study of

  It was reported that overexpression of the rat ACL gene in tobacco increased the total ACL activity by 4 fold, which increased the production of fatty acids by 16% [8]. Recently, a 1.7-fold increase of fatty acids and 1.9-fold increase of triacylglycerol (TAG) was observed in Aspergillus oryzae with

  In the case of DIA-4CN the docking results do not show any interaction between the iron atom and the inhibitor, presumably due to the reduced ability to form a complex involving the -CONN- moiety versus the bidentate -CONHNH- central group of HYD-4Me. This results in a considerable gap between the i

  On the other hand, there were only a few cases that expressed DA2R in our study. Additionally, in the cases whose ACTH-secreting pituitary adenomas expressed DA2R, the ratio of positive staining 5-Formyl-UTP mg was very low. This suggests that dopamine agonists may be less effective in canine Cushi

  Although mature fibrils formed from Aβ EIPA have long been thought to be the main neurodegenerative agents in AD, recent evidence suggests that soluble multimers of these pathogenic proteins, referred to here as “oligomers,” may initiate the synaptic and neuronal dysfunction associated with AD and t
