  Introduction Obesity constitutes a global healthcare problem and has many adverse effects on the cardiovascular function [1,2]. Recently, the perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) has emerged as a relevant fat depot for cardiovascular risk and as a potential trigger in vascular dysfunction. Indeed, PV

  2021-04-27

  

  Celiac disease occurs in the small intestine due to the ingestion of gluten and triggers an immune response by T-cells resulting in tissue remodelling and malnutrition [6]. Earlier studies by many researchers have shown that the prolamins of gluten are the toxic agent for celiac disease, since they

  Immunomodulation effects of certain oxysterols were previously shown to depend on activation of oxysterol-binding liver X receptors (LXRs). Recent work from our labs as well as from others has shown additional receptors linking oxysterols and immunity. For example, we found that 7α,25-dihydroxychole

  Materials and methods Results Discussion To date, several reports have suggested an involvement of DGK in bipolar disorder. A splice variant at the COOH-terminus of DGKβ has been related to bipolar disorder [15] and DGKβ KO mice showed hyperactive behavior [17]. For the other DGK isoforms,

  2021-04-26

  

  Nitric oxide (NO) is synthesized by conversion of the l-arginine to NO and l-citrulline through reaction which is catalyzed by nitric oxide synthetase (NOS) (Knowles and Moncada, 1994). NO as an important molecule not only play a role as second messenger but also binds to cytochrome c oxidase and de

  Citrus plants are of great interest because they contain large amounts of flavonoids, and citrus fruits and their juices are consumed in large quantities around the world [18]. The flavonoid contents and profiles of citrus juices vary greatly with the type of fruit. It has been determined that citru

  Another well-established visceral action of CRF and urocortin administered peripherally is the long-lasting lowering of blood pressure observed in various species ranging from rodents to humans [22]. Existing evidence suggests that the hypotensive action of CRF and urocortin is mediated by the inter

  Chk 1 and Chk 2 mediated signaling act as a barrier to tumorigenesis It was hypothesized recently that early events during tumorigenesis, such as the overexpression of oncogenes, lead to a DNA-damage response which, in turn halts tumor progression [44], [45], [46]. The DNA-damage response is prop

  In S. cerevisiae, Mek1, a paralog of the checkpoint kinase Chk2, mediates cell-cycle arrest in response to meiotic defects (Bailis and Roeder, 2000, Xu et al., 1997). Mek1 is associated with meiotic chromosome axes, where its activation requires interactions with two other axis proteins, Hop1 and Re

  Not all of the biological activities exhibited by progestogens (Table 1) are mediated via binding to SRs. For example, the anti-estrogenic action of progestogens in the Sulfo-NHS-LC-Biotin is due to the progestogen-bound PR suppressing ER gene expression, and consequently the ability of the cell to

  Functional studies revealed that these ESR1 mutations lead to constitutive activity of the ER, meaning that the receptor is active in absence of estrogen, conferring resistance against several endocrine agents. Recent studies reported that the occurrence of ESR1 mutations is rare in ER+ primary brea

  The Ewing sarcoma breakpoint region 1 gene (EWSR1) is a partner in a large, diverse range of mesenchymal (and some nonmesenchymal) tumors (Tables 1 and 2). As the 5′ partner, EWSR1 is able to fuse with an array of genes. These fusions can generate genetically different but phenotypically identical n
