  ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Introduction Odorant receptors (ORs) are the largest subfamily of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and are mainly expressed by olfactory sensory neurons in the nose for the detection of various odorants [1]. However, more recent reports suggest that ORs are also expressed an

  2021-09-10

  

  Introduction The term “autophagy” was coined by Christian de Duve in 1963 to describe the process of removing and degrading intracellular components such as unused proteins and damaged organelles through lysosomes [1,2]. Autophagy has been divided into three main types, namely, macroautophagy, mi

  2021-09-10

  

  The H3 autoreceptors distributed mainly in the CNS act as a negative feedback on histamine synthesis and release from histaminergic neurons. Histamine is involved in many physiological functions such as sleep-wake regulation, circadian and feeding rhythm, thermal regulation, locomotion, learning, co

  2021-09-10

  

  Introduction Histamine was generally accepted as a neurotransmitter in 1984, when histamine was first identified to be located in tuberomamillary nucleus (TM) of the brain (Watanabe et al., 1984). In mammals, histaminergic neurons play an important role in regulating multiple physiological activ

  Regulation of HO-1 expression under conditions of ischemic cardiac damage Heart is a vital organ with high metabolic demand, rich in mitochondria and it is very vulnerable to oxidative damage [85]. Disruption in coronary blood flow following MI leads to hypoxia (a reduction in the amount of avail

  Biological evaluations of the compounds were done both using HCV protease and replicon assays. Results are shown in . The protease inhibitory IC’s were determined using a FRET assay with HCV NS3/4A 1a protease domain. The replicon EC’s were determined using a replicon luciferase cell-based assay. Th

  2021-09-10

  

  The LOD and linear range of the cobas HBV test using the cobas 4800 system in this study were similar to those provided by the manufacturer. We found a strong correlation between the results of the cobas HBV test and CAP/CTM v2.0 systems; however, 7.7% of samples yielded detectable results only with

  2021-09-10

  

  We found that activator drugs decrease NOsGC protein levels in Sf9 cells. This decrease in protein levels is more pronounced for BAY 60–2770 compared to cinaciguat, and more obvious for α1/β1 compared to α2/β1 (see Fig. 2). This led us to hypothesize that the reduction in protein level correlates wi

  Following our initial observation of an unexpected increase in the maximal rates of cGMP formation by NO-stimulated sGC in the presence of cytosolic PCA preparations [15], we attempted to purify, identify and characterize the responsible protein(s). The purification protocol described in the present

  Another interesting approach is to use partial agonists as starting point to develop specific antagonists like done in earlier decades [64], [65]. Possible indications for an attenuation of the NO/sGC signalling pathway might be specific neuronal disorders: an involvement in the aetiology of migrai

  Several studies have proposed that high levels of KYNA in the Nevirapine contribute to cognitive dysfunctions presented by patients who suffer from schizophrenia [30], [31], [32], [33]. Considering that: (i) KYNA is a known GPR35 agonist [2], (ii) cognitive impairments in patients with schizophrenia

  Until now, unfortunately, no safe, effective vaccine against HIV-1/AIDS has been found [16], [17]. Therefore, the development of safe, effective vaccines is a top priority in HIV/AIDS research field. Accordingly, to investigate the interactions between HIV vaccines or inhibitors and their correspond

  Recently, higher-grade varicoceles have been reported to be associated with higher nocturia levels [20], and we observed an interesting phenomenon in which the urine volume/water intake ratio dramatically increased in the rat model of experimental left varicocele (ELV); the decreases in hypothalamic

  Caffeine decreased EAAT1 and EAAT2 Vincristine mg levels in P2 fraction, as well as [3H]d-aspartate uptake; however, as soon as caffeine is removed from incubation, [3H]-d-Aspartate uptake is recovered to control levels, eliminating the possibility of caffeine as a cell death inducer. In resume, ou

  2021-09-09

  

  The concept of the axo-myelin ‘synapse’ Axons can release glutamate in a Ca+-dependent and independent manner (reviewed in [13,69]). Glutamate released from axons activates GluRs located in myelin, a feature that gave rise to the idea of the axo-myelin ‘synapse’ by analogy with classical synaptic
