  Introduction The mammalian skin forms the largest organ of the body and includes a network of cutaneous nerves, cells of the immune system, and mediators of the neuro-endocrine axis (Theoharides et al., 2016). Analogous to the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, neuropeptides and their receptors

  2022-06-02

  

  Our data show that oxidative stress (high levels of ROS) suppresses the process of lysosomal exocytosis, which would be predicted to impair the expulsion of toxic compounds from cells. Therefore, we propose that ROS have a biphasic effect on the lysosomal clearance: consistent with their role as a s

  Sperm exocytosis or acrosome reaction (AR) is a regulated secretion with special characteristics essential for fertilization. The AR relies on the same highly conserved molecules that drive intracellular membrane fusion and exocytosis in all other till (see [59] for a recent review). Two such molec

  Most hexokinases are widely expressed but distinct hexokinases predominate specific tissues (Katzen and Schimke, 1965, Rogers et al., 1975). Hexokinase I is found in all mammalian tissues, but is most abundant in the c di gmp and kidney (griffin et al., 1992). Hexokinase II is the primary hexokinas

  Regulation of HO-1 expression under conditions of ischemic cardiac damage Heart is a vital organ with high metabolic demand, rich in mitochondria and it is very vulnerable to oxidative damage [85]. Disruption in coronary blood flow following MI leads to hypoxia (a reduction in the amount of avail

  Curcumin is a major yellow pigment in turmeric ground rhizome of Curcuma longa Linn, which is used widely as a spice and coloring agent in several foods such as curry, mustard and potato chips as well as cosmetics and drugs (Okada et al., 2001, Joe et al., 2004). Curcumin represents a class of anti-

  Endogenous and synthetic ligands of GPR55 There are currently limited commercially available synthetic agonists and antagonists that are specific for GPR55. A large number of studies have investigated the pharmacology of GPR55 4, 23, 25, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, with contradictory findings reporte

  GK allosteric activators validate the importance of GK from a therapeutic perspective, but the nature of allosteric activation of GK remains unclear. The GK allosteric activator site, the pocket where GKAs bind, is ~20 Å remote from the active site (Fig. 1A). The allosteric site is the locus of many

  Acknowledgements Introduction Ghrelin is a potent orexigenic hormone and growth hormone secretagogue mainly derived from the stomach [1], [2], [3], [4], [5]. Other pleiotropic actions of the hormone include those that are glucoregulatory, food reward-enhancing, gastric motility-enhancing, and

  Ghrelin is mostly known for its orexigenic properties, whereas the role of DAG on feeding is controversial with studies claiming an orexigenic, anorexigenic or no effect (Inhoff et al, 2009, Toshinai et al, 2006). One of these studies was that of Toshinai and colleagues, who found a link between the

  More polar substituents introduced on the 5-position of the aniline ring (e.g., dimethyl amine in ) decreased the lipophilicity of the compounds (4.3 for vs 5.1 for ), but did not affect their potency. For instance, was highly potent in vitro and demonstrated a surprising 51% lowering of Aβ42 in m

  Piroxicam belongs to the oxicam family of NSAIDs and a special attention has been drawn to this drug because of its multifunctional potential [5], [27], [28]. Chemically, piroxicam (4-hydroxy-2-methyl-N-2-pyrimidyl-2H-1,2-benzothiazine-3-carboxyamide) is an enolic androgen receptor inhibitor with a

  Natural-product-based drug discovery can be enhanced with computational methods [205]. Because most of the reported small-molecule natural inhibitors of fMLF-induced functional responses were not evaluated in aldose reductase inhibitors binding assays, we used molecular modeling to predict how well

  Considering together the conformational, docking and SAR results of this and of previously published papers, a three points pharmacophore model can be developed considering the indispensable residues of SRSRY derived antagonists, namely Arg89, Arg91 and Tyr92. This model is shown in Fig. 10, and req

  In conclusion, our results showed that FFAR1 can mediate the effect of PIO in attenuating β-cell lipoapoptosis through anti-oxidative stress, which may be related to the activation of the PLCγ-ERK1/2-PPARγ pathway. Our study helps not only to distinguish the role played by FFAR1 in lipotoxicity, but
