  In addition to vertebrate species, GnRH has been identified in invertebrates, such as in the Protochordate Ciona intestinalis (Powell et al., 1996; Adams et al., 2003), the decapods mollusk Octopus vulgaris (Iwakoshi et al., 2002), the gastropod mollusk, the sea hare Aplysia californica (Zhang et al

  2021-11-29

  

  In addition, analysis of the functional elements in the GnRH promoter region also identified other transcription factor binding sites, such as those for GATA-1 and Oct-1. However, those sites were not further validated in this study. Nevertheless, it has been reported that transcription factors such

  2021-11-29

  

  Recognition and Repair of DNA Damage DNA is a reactive molecule that is continually challenged by both endogenous and exogenous insults 1., 2.. Cellular metabolites and their byproducts, environmental toxins, and radiation alter the chemical structure of DNA, producing a wide spectrum of DNA damage

  The usefulness of GIP-R antagonism for the treatment of obesity-diabetes has been revealed in numerous studies employing knockout or chemical blockade of GIP-R signalling.*88, 89, *90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, *97 For example, sub-chronic daily administration of (Pro3)GIP to ob/ob mice results in sig

  Materials and methods Results Discussion Ghrelin is required for maintenance of glucose homeostasis under fasting conditions, and GHSR-null mice have low fasting blood glucose levels [5], [9]. In this study, we found that restoration of GHSR in nodose ganglion neurons rescued low fasting bl

• The atomic model of Ce INX

  2021-11-26

  

  The atomic model of Ce-INX6 provides an additional interpretation to the Ce-INX6ΔN mutant structure at low-resolution [41]. Given that the N-terminal residues from 2 to 19 are deleted in the Ce-INX6ΔN mutant, the N-terminal funnel found in the pore of the wild-type Ce-INX6 should be lost in the Ce-I

  2021-11-26

  

  The Notch-cleavage efficiency of Aph1aS containing complexes was lower than that of Aph1aL γ-secretases, especially in combination with PS2, suggesting that Aph1aS is a determinant of low Notch-cleavage specificity, considering that the different subcellular localization of PS1 and PS2 didn't affect

  2021-11-26

  

  In cardiomyocytes mechanical stress builds up via FAs and the related costamere structures, and excessive stress can cause cardiac hypertrophy. Cardoso et al. (2016) report a comprehensive study that demonstrates the link between stress-induced FAK activation and a FAK-mediated initiation of a trans

  2021-11-26

  

  Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is a non-receptor type tyrosine kinase that can further cooperatively interact with receptor tyrosine kinase signaling to regulate adhesion, migration, survival, proliferation, polarization, and differentiation [12]. Following activation, phosphorylated extracellular regu

  Conclusion Discovery of an ideal orally active antithrombotic drug has remained elusive till date. Research efforts in this direction led to the discovery of numerous coagulation enzyme inhibitors including various thrombin and FXa inhibitors. Several preclinical studies have highlighted the imp

  The ETA receptor has a higher affinity for endothelin-1 than the two other agonists, with an affinity order of endothelin-1>endothelin-2>endothelin-3, while the ETB receptor exhibits similar affinities for all three isopeptides (Arai et al., 1990b, Sakurai et al., 1990). Earlier studies of the selec

  Introduction Erythropoietin (EPO) is a glycoprotein hormone and the principal stimulator of erythropoiesis (Jelkmann, 2011). EPO promotes the proliferation and differentiation of red blood cells, which is important for oxygen transport. Low EPO levels in blood cause anemia; however, excessive lev
