  2024-11-14

  

  Introduction Nausea and vomiting are among the most distressing side effects associated with chemotherapy in cancer patients (Billio et al., 2010). Severe emesis can negatively affect a patient's nutritional state, ability to work and motivation, which can, in turn, interfere with the clinical co

  The subdivision of 5-HT receptors started in the 1950s by Gaddum and colleagues, when they realised that in the guinea pig ileum, the effects of 5-HT could be blocked in part by morphine (M), and in part by dibenzyline (D). Gaddum and Picarelli proposed two receptor classes, 5-HT M and 5-HT D (1957)

  2024-11-14

  

  In many Dexamethasone α1-AR mediated activation of PLC has been shown to be the downstream process for NA-induced signalling. The activated PLC initiates subsequent signalling by breakdown of PIP2 to IP3 and DAG (Fisher and Agranoff, 1987) and the process continues. To confirm if such mechanism exis

  The phylogenetic relationship demonstrates that both bovine and porcine 12/15-LO is more related to the human enzyme than the rabbit enzyme, despite the fact that the rabbit reticulocyte enzyme is a 15-lipoxygenase. The rabbit is one single species that expresses a 12/15 LO with 15-LO activity while

  Herbal medicines have been used to treat various types of diseases and disorders for thousands of years worldwide (Li and Brown, 2009). Natural products have been the remedy of cancer chemotherapy for the past several decades. Anisomeles indica (L.) Kuntze. (Labiatae), commonly known as 'yu-chen-tsa

  A different mechanism has been suggested for the role of TRX1 in ASK1 regulation based on disulfide bond-mediated ASK1 multimerization and its reduction through the thiol-reductase activity of TRX1 (Nadeau et al., 2007, Nadeau et al., 2009). In this model, oxidative stress induces intermolecular dis

  2024-11-14

  

  Testosterone can be converted into estrogens by aromatase action. Aromatase is encoded by CYP19, belongs to cytochrome P450 superfamily, and synthesizes estradiol (E2) and estrone (E1) from testosterone and androstenedione respectively (Fig. 1). Aromatase is expressed in the ORS of anagen hair folli

  Previous studies have thus demonstrated that AR activation generally correlates with the promotion of urothelial carcinogenesis and cancer growth. In this article, we review available data suggesting their modulation through the AR pathway as well as correlations of AR signals with sensitivity to co

  2024-11-13

  

  The CK catalyzes the reversible conversion of creatine into creatine phosphate using ATP and thereby releasing ADP. The CK isoenzymes, specifically localized in places where there is a demand and production of energy, are linked to a creatine/creatine phosphate shuttle (Wallimann et al., 1998). This

  2024-11-13

  

  Introduction Cell motility is fundamentally important in morphogenesis, wound healing, and the immune response. One of the best-studied basic types of cell movement is lamellipodial motility [1, 2], characterized by a thin (∼0.1–0.2 μm), broad (∼10–40 μm) motile appendage containing a dynamic AL

  Introduction In myasthenia gravis (MG), autoantibodies against the native AChR conformation cause loss of AChR at the neuromuscular junction and fatigable muscle weakness (Newsom-Davis et al., 1993). The AChR is a pentameric transmembrane protein, with two splice forms of the α-subunit, P3A− and

  A correlation analysis was performed to investigate a possible relationship between serum resistin levels and MG-ADL. We observed a significant relationship between serum resistin levels and MG-ADL scores in AChR-GMG-positive cases (r=0.285, p=0.032; Fig. 1C). There were also significant correlation

  However, although in vitro studies in heterologous systems have provided very important indications of potential novel pharmacology, the studies with endogenous receptors in native tissues are essential to provide evidence for GPCR heteromerization in vivo and to confirm its physiological relevance.
