In general, fish has a limited ability for digestion and metabolism of carbohydrate though carbohydrate is the cheapest dietary energy and carbon source to animals and the best candidate for replacing dietary protein (Enes et al., 2009, Kamalam et al., 2017, Wilson, 1994). Furthermore, the analysis

2021-09-17
Studies examining cerebral glucose metabolism in MDD using 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose in positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) showed altered regional glucose metabolism in MDD (Dunn et al., 2002, Kennedy et al., 2001, Kimbrell et al., 2002, Saxena et al., 2001). In a recent meta-analysis by Su and co

To synthesize the 7-azaindole based compound , Suzuki coupling of 6-chloro-7-azaindole with 4-CFO-phenylboronic BMX-IN-1 was carried out in the presence of Pd(dppf)Cl·CHCl to supply biaryl in quantitative yield (). Iodination at the C-3 position resulted 3-iodo-7-azaindazole . Alkylation of the -1

In an effort to further improve the intrinsic potency, we evaluated the effect of the C4-substituent of the triazole (). Replacement of the phenyl group with a cyclohexyl or with a 2-pyridyl substituent led to losses in potency. Increasing the size of the substituent to a bi-phenyl or naphthyl gr

Platycodon grandiflorum is a member of the genus Platycodon and is commonly known as balloon flower. In East Asia, P. grandiflorum is used for the treatment of asthma, coughs, inflammatory diseases, pulmonary tuberculosis, and diabetes (Takagi and Lee, 1972). Furthermore, recent studies have reporte

Materials and methods Results Discussion D. abbreviatus larvae are voracious feeders, and the nutrients consumed as part of their diet are broken by gut proteases and utilized for growth and development. Since proteases play an important role in larval and adult food digestion, it is import

In the present study, we focused on a role of the C-terminal segment in GCAP2 using two chimeric proteins, in which the C-terminal segment of GCAP2 was either replaced by the corresponding sequence of recoverin (chimera GR) or transferred into recoverin (chimera RG). We have monitored Ca-dependent c

Here we investigate the structural and biochemical properties of the N-GTPase domain of p190RhoGAP-A. We determine the crystal structure and find that N-GTPase adopts an extended GTPase-like fold with six unique inserts that seem to preclude its ability to bind typical GAP, GEF, or alcohol inhibitor

For some agonists, these stable GPR119 responses were resistant to washing. Thus, sustained activation could continue, for at least a number of hours, even after removal of free agonist. These data are consistent with reports for other GPCR systems that do not desensitize (Calebiro et al., 2009, Fer

In summary, our findings provide the evidence and the mechanistic understanding of the protective effects of GIP receptor agonist, D-Ala2GIP, in the MPTP-induced neurotoxicity in mice. The observed protective effects are potentially due to reduced oxidative stress and attenuation of dopamine loss in

A model substance often used in the studies of oxidative processes in erythrocytes is tert-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BHP), which, being lipophilic, passes easily across the erythrocyte membrane [9]. In erythrocytes treated with t-BHP (0.1–3mM) for less than 1h, a dramatic decline in the reduced glutath

The subcellular redistribution of some metabolic enzymes is dynamic and responsive to metabolic conditions. In the absence of glucose, Glucokinase (GK) is bound to its regulatory protein in the nucleus of the hepatocyte and translocates to the cytoplasm when sugar levels increase [12]. Muscle glycog

Potential roles for S P in angiogenesis cancer
2021-09-15
Potential roles for S1P in angiogenesis, cancer, and autoimmune diseases such as RA have been reported [73]. In RA synoviocytes, S1P has been shown to enhance expression of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in response to the pro-inflammatory cytokines, TNF-α and interleukin (IL)-
