  The present study determined the effect of DCA on VSMC calcification in vitro and in atherosclerotic ApoE-/- mice in vivo. We found that leukotriene b4 non-toxic concentrations of DCA, did not affect VSMC viability, induced calcification of VSMC in culture and increased atherosclerotic vascular cal

  Besides its multiple peripheral effects adiponectin may ameliorate insulin resistance by acting in the brain, and intracerebroventricular administration of adiponectin in rodents decreases body weight by stimulating energy expenditure [13]. Adiponectin most likely crosses the blood-CSF-barrier (BCB)

  A decrease in lactate concentration in the incubation medium was observed in samples treated with heparin and 2′,5′-dideoxyadenosine compared with the control (0.05; Fig. 2B). Discussion In the present study we compared the oxidative metabolism and intracellular signals of heparin, the glycosami

  Interestingly, as observed with Treg cells, adenosine can regulate the function of Breg cells, a subset of immunosuppressive cells that support immunological tolerance [115]. In particular, Bregs were able to regulate both their own function and T cell activity via an adenosine signaling originating

  2023-12-21

  

  Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity and expression level can be down regulated by TCDD in neuronal cells [3], [6]. Thus AChE could be considered as a target of the neuronal toxicity of dioxin. AChE has several types of transcripts by alternative splicing in the 3′ region of primary transcripts [7],

  Purification of Rv2477c. In order to investigate the catalytic capabilities of Rv2477c, we expressed the protein as an N-terminal histidine-tagged fusion protein in E. coli BL21 cells and purified the protein by cobalt-affinity chromatography. As shown in Fig. 2A, the 65 kDa fusion protein was expre

  2023-12-20

  

  NO is an important mediator for maintaining bone integrity since it plays a role in the bone remodeling process. It was shown that mechanical strain and shear stress induce NO synthesis in osteoblasts and osteocytes (van't Hof & Stuart, 2001). It was reported that mechanical loading influences its a

  Initially, DPP4, DPP7, and prolyl tripeptidyl peptidase A (PtpA) were the only exopeptidases identified in P. gingivalis. These share substrates according to their altered specificities, as DPP4 is highly specific for Pro at the penultimate position from the N-terminus (P1 position), though it accep

  Introduction Diabetic nephropathy is a rapidly growing cause of end-stage renal disease [1]. Glomerular, tubular and vascular toxicity resulting from hyperglycemia (glucotoxicity) have been evaluated extensively at the molecular level as contributing factors for diabetic nephropathy [[1], [2], [3]]

  Introduction Cancer, which is responsible for a million deaths each year, is universally feared, and approximately 50% of newly diagnosed cases can be cured [1]. The existing cancer treatments, including surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy or a combination of them, are quickly losing efficacy. The
