  Introduction The COMT gene is located on chromosomal band 22q11.2, extends over 28 kb, contains six exons, and encodes for catechol-O-methyl-transferase (Weinshilboum and Raymond, 1977; Grossman et al., 1992; Lundström et al., 1995; Bearden et al., 2005). This enzyme plays a major role in regulatio

  Soon after the discovery of ET1 and the cloning of its ETA and ETB receptors, low-molecular-weight compounds were identified that can prevent the binding and effects of radioactively labeled ET1 3, 5, 6, 8. Initially, these ERAs resulted from screening efforts (e.g. BQ123 39, 49 and bosentan [50]).

  2019-10-24

  

  The use of the periplasmic fraction as starting material and the presence of a unique purification step concurred in improving the purification yield to 25.3%, which is significantly higher than what obtained with the previous purification protocol (6.7%). In addition, the analysis of the kinetic co

  Introduction Prostaglandins are important local mediators in a host of reproductive processes including ovulation, fertilization, embryonic development, luteal regression, and parturition (Ushikubi et al., 2000). Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is among the more versatile prostanoids, and its effects app

  2019-10-24

  

  The mRNA expression of asEP4 studied by RT-PCR shows that EP4 is expressed in many different tissues in Atlantic salmon which is comparable to other species (Sugimoto and Narumiya, 2007) although some distinct differences are present. For example, in mice the expression of EP4 receptor was found to

  Enzyme activations Activated proteinases can unleash a deluge of tissue damage (Zucker et al., 2009). Once activated, the essential enzymes such as serine proteases and cysteine proteases cannot discriminate between self and non-self, burning away self-tissues (Chien et al., 2009, Laskar et al.,

  2019-10-23

  

  The CYP2D6-inferred metabolizer phenotype describes only one phase of the tramadol (T) ADME (absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion) and response process and does not explain all genotypic contribution of an individual’s phenotypic expression [11]. Numerous polymorphisms in the downstre

  The modes of action of insecticides are classified by the Insecticide Resistance Action Committee (IRAC) [6]. In this classification, a large proportion of insecticides are categorized as nerve- and muscle-targeting insecticides, which encompass GABACl antagonists (Group 2) and GluCl allosteric modu

  Enhanced oxidative stress has been suggested as the critical mechanisms of IS-produced muscle damage [41,42]. NAC as a direct reactive oxygen species ROS scavenger is frequently discussed in the clinical trials of radiocontrast-induced AKI prevention [43]. Despite some supportive epidemiological dat

  First of all, it should be emphasized that, although cPLA2α manifests a marked selectivity for phospholipids that contain AA at the sn-2 position, this does not mean in any way that, in cells, the enzyme cannot hydrolyze other fatty acyl residues to a significant extent even if this occurs at a lowe

  Glycolysis is important to maintain the vital functions of T. gondi. Extracellular T. gondii shift its Z-FA-FMK synthesis metabolism towards glycolysis, based on the observation that a relocation of glycolytic enzymes from the cytosol to the pellicle occurs at the time when tachyzoites egress from

  Molecular characterization of LEI/L-DNase II LEI, like most serpins, is a metastable protein and its anti-protease activity is related to its “stressed to relaxed transition”. So that, the inhibition of elastase by the well described suicide mechanism generates the cleaved form of LEI (see Padron
