  2023-12-19

  

  Autocrine regulations of several adipokines (e.g., leptin and resistin) on adipocytes have been reported (Karastergiou and Mohamed-Ali, 2010, Ye et al., 2010). Several lines of evidence have shown that apelin influences adipocyte functions, such as, lipolysis and glucose uptake (Dray et al., 2008, Y

  To investigate if WP increased CAT activity in cells, C2C12 muscle caspase inhibitor were treated with 0.1 to 0.4 mg/mL of WP (80.05% protein) for 24 h and then stressed with 0.75 mM H2O2 for 1 h (Xu et al., 2011). The CAT activity was significantly enhanced from 15.1 ± 0.7 to 23.7 ± 1.3 U/mg of tot

  2023-12-19

  

  Since primitive societies, plants, herbs and seeds, rich in phytochemicals, were used due to their benefits in human health. These molecules were shown to present a diverse array of action mechanisms, including antioxidant activity, enzyme stimulation, hormones mimicking and by interfering with DNA

  The specific functions of ERs and AR underline their crucial roles during different phases of spermatogenesis. Their deregulation could affect numerous downstream targets, thereby, disrupting spermatogenesis and male fertility. Various studies have shown that estrogen-like chemicals in the environme

  Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is a molecular chaperone that plays a central role in regulating the maturation, activation and stability of numerous “client proteins” that drive the development and progression of many cancers. Therefore, inhibition of Hsp90 would result in degradation of the client p

  Introduction The traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), Ganoderma (G.) lucidum Karst is a well-known mushroom which has been used clinically in some Asian countries. It is termed “Lingzhi” in China, “Reishi” in Japan and “Yeongji” in Korea. It has long been used in TCM for the promotion of longevity

  2023-12-18

  

  Pioneering studies on the immunomodulatory role of adenosine date back to the early ‘70 s of last century (Fig. 1), when the critical role of this nucleoside in shaping the development and the activity of several immune cell populations was first established [[18], [19], [20], [21], [22]]. This then

  Previous studies have demonstrated the presence of soluble NTPDases, 5′-nucleotidase and adenosine deaminase in rat blood serum as well as in human blood (Doleski et al., 2016; Oses et al., 2004; Yegutkin, 1997; Yegutkin et al., 2007). In addition, our earlier reports have shown that these membrane-

  Upregulation of ACLY is common in many cancers (Kuhajda, 2000, Milgraum et al., 1997, Swinnen et al., 2004, Yahagi et al., 2005). This is in part due to the transcriptional activation by SREBP-1 resulting from the activation of the PI3K/AKT pathway in cancers (Kim et al., 2010, Nadler et al., 2001,

  Apelin/APJ triggers a variety of cellular signaling pathways (Fig. 1). Recent studies from our laboratory showed that apelin-13 induces vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation by the upregulation of Cyclin D1 expression, which is involved in an ERK-dependent activation of Jagged-1/Notch3 si

  Serum concentrations of acute phase proteins (APP) and of antioxidants have proved to be clinically useful biomarkers of pyometra in different species, including bitches, cows and mares [[11], [12], [13], [14], [15]]. Acute phase proteins are being increasingly used in both human and veterinary medi

  Despite the absence of disulfide bonds in its linear structure, KT43C displays antifungal and antibacterial activity. Disulfide bonds are determinants of defensins' integrity and have been reported to increase the antimicrobial activity (Jenssen et al., 2006). However, some linear derivatives of AMP

  Nanoparticles are submicrometric systems smaller than 1000 nm which high surface area and composite materials may allow their greater interaction with biological membranes and control of the drug release. These features are directly associated with the efficacy of treatment and the presence of adver
