  The literature suggests that adiponectin has a steroidogenic effect on ovarian function. In pigs, in vitro studies have shown that adiponectin reduced basal testosterone secretion in internal theca cells; in granulosa cells, it increased secretion of estradiol and, in combination with insulin, incre

• Adenosine receptors activate a number

  2024-09-19

  

  Adenosine receptors activate a number of signalling pathways involved in tissue survival including several mitogen-activated protein kinases (Fredholm et al., 2001). The common feature of all adenosine receptors is the positive coupling to ERK1/2, whilst A2B and A3 receptors can also activate the st

  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 t

  A unique finding in this study is that 12/15-LO influences CREB phosphorylation in the murine brain. While previous reports have found that knockout of 5-lipoxygenase, a related enzyme that also uses arachidonic Azaperone for substrate, can regulate CREB phosphoryation in the context of Alzheimer's

  Although the LB2 domains of mGlu receptors have not been shown to form an extensive interface during activation, they do draw closer to each other, as demonstrated in crystal structures (Kunishima et al., 2000, Muto et al., 2007, Tsuchiya et al., 2002) and by FRET analysis (Doumazane et al., 2013, V

  It is well-known that neurosteroids such as testosterone and their metabolites endogenously modulate neural excitability in animals and humans. Testosterone has protective effects against seizures induced by KA and PTZ (Frye et al., 2001b; Reddy, 2004b). Estrogens, on the other hand, have proconvuls

  CORT-induced hippocampal damage has been implicated in depression, aging and long-term glucocorticoid therapy. Therefore, finding a drug that can protect hippocampal neurons from the adverse effects of CORT could have significant clinical benefits. In this regard, we tested the potential protective

  An in vitro assay in which endothelial cells form 3D tube-like structures was used to investigate effects of dNK on vessel stability. The results indicate that dNK cells from women with high spiral artery resistance index had reduced ability to activate endothelial cells, since endothelial cells pre

  RNA interference assays have shown that the inhibition of AMPK expression leads to increases in TNF-α, IL-6 and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) levels after LPS stimulus, whereas the transfection of macrophages with a constitutively active form of AMPKα1 results in decreased LPS-induced TNF-α and IL-6 prod

  Discussion In a series of linear mixed effects models of longitudinal neuroanatomical change, we have identified genetic risk variants associated with an increase in lactone shape asymmetry in AD. The closest genes associated with significant SNPs include BIN1 (rs6733839), CD2AP (rs10948363), an

  In the MT-SGL, two regularization parameters need to be specified: λ1 and λ2. Using recent results on norm regularization (Banerjee et al., 2014), it is possible to express both parameters via a single parameter as follows: and (Meier et al., 2008, Banerjee et al., 2014), where and are computed
