  2020-02-21

  

  Both progesterone and the calcium ionophore A23187 rely on the synthesis of cAMP by sAC to elicit exocytosis in human sperm (Fig. 2E-H and [8], [60]). We had reported earlier that digestion of endogenous cAMP with recombinant cAMP-specific phosphodiesterase 4D [9] or inhibition of its synthesis with

  2020-02-21

  

  PGE2 exerts its functions by binding to different receptors. Four different subtypes of PGE2 receptors are found in mammals and are designated as EP1-4. These are G-protein coupled receptors that belong to a family of seven rhodopsin-like transmembrane spanning receptors. They are structurally diffe

  The isomeric 5-phenyloxazole not only exhibited increased potency against NEP, but also a decreased ACE inhibition thus providing encouraging selectivity. Changing the P1 group from an -propyl to a more polar methoxyethyl at the left hand Ramiprilat (as seen in compound pairs – and –) decreased AC

  A great deal of research has focused on candidate medications to modulate dopaminergic mechanisms through which psychomotor stimulants produce addictive effects, i.e., drugs that expressly target the DA transporter, D1-like receptor, or D2-like receptors., , However, effective dopaminergic-based pha

  Arsenic could cause apoptosis in both benign and malignant cells (Akao et al., 2000, Gupta et al., 2003, Namgung and Xia, 2001). However, at present, little is known about the consequences of arsenic-treated urothelial cells in autophagy and expression of its related proteins. In addition, the alter

  Multiple lines of evidence now indicate that mitochondrial decay is a fundamental factor that leads to alterations in energy metabolism in the aged heart (Hagen et al., 2002, Judge and Leeuwenburgh, 2007, Lesnefsky et al., 2001c). Nevertheless, the exact biochemical events that cause such an alterat

  Evidence for interactions between the endothelin and the angiotensin system has also become plentiful. It has become clear that the two systems, in addition to acting independently, can act synergistically (Emori et al., 1989, Imai et al., 1992) as well as promote the peptide mRNA expression in endo

  In the course of this study, K+PFOS did not appear to have any effect on the thyroid parameters evaluated (H&E histology, follicular epithelial cell proliferation, and follicular epithelial apoptosis). This is an interesting observation considering the fact that treatment with K+PFOS resulted in act

  2020-02-21

  

  The intracellular redox situation of MC3T3-E1 nitric oxide booster after exposure with fluoride has been investigated and results revealed that the generation of ROS increased at a concentration-dependent manner, which indicated that NaF induced oxidative stress damage in MC3T3-E1 cells. Fluoride-m

  2020-02-21

  

  Introduction Rotavirus (RV), a member of Reoviridae family, is a non-enveloped virus which has a double-stranded RNA genome of 11 segments surrounded by three concentric protein layers. It has been reported to cause estimated 25% of moderate-to-severe illnesses (Kotloff et al., 2013) and 30% of tot

  Our current understanding of nucleotide metabolism in has made it possible to identify numerous proteins which serve essential roles in the life cycle of the parasite. One such protein is thymidylate synthase-dihydrofolate reductase (TS-DHFR), a bifunctional enzyme which is necessary for the product

  N. fowleri enters the host through the nasal cavity and travels via the olfactory nerve into the 6063 where it causes PAM (Visvesvara and Stehr-Green, 1990). The ameba most commonly infects healthy young adults and children and is able to evade the immune system but also elicits extensive damaging i

  The Inhibitor of APoptosis (IAP) proteins were first identified as gene products of baculovirus that inhibited apoptosis of infected insect dub ubiquitin (Clem et al., 1991, Crook et al., 1993). Subsequently, the mammalian IAP family was identified (Rothe et al., 1995, Uren et al., 1996). All membe
