  2024-01-09

  

  Ethanol can affect biological systems directly, or also through the interactions between these systems, which become important in the actions promoted by alcohol consumption. Its metabolites acetaldehyde and acetate play a key role in the e1 activating enzyme mediating some effects of ethanol (Israe

  There is evidence to suggest that GMF activities are regulated in vivo by post-translational modification. indeed, there is strong precedent for ADF-homology family proteins being regulated in this manner. Cofilin is inhibited by phosphorylation of a serine residue at its N terminus. This residue

  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

  2024-01-09

  

  Apoptosis or programmed cell death is a function of biochemical mechanisms, which are energy-dependent. It is considered to be a vital component of many processes such as normal cell cycle, immune mechanism, atrophy, embryonic development and toxin-induced cell death (Elmore, 2007). In addition, apo

  To date, more than 50 different mutations in the gene have been described (Human Gene Mutation Database at the Institute of Medical Genetics in Cardiff: SRD5A2 Gene: http://www.hgmd.cf.ac.uk). Most of them are missense mutations but premature stop codons and deletions leading to non-functional or su

  Subsequently, Palvimaki et al. (1999) corroborated Ni and Miledi's study by demonstrating that treatment with fluoxetine leads to 43% occupancy of the 5-HT2C receptors. Moreover, the affinity of fluoxetine for 5HT2C receptors (Ki 65 nM) is close to its affinity for 5-HT transporters (Ki 33 nM) (Ni a

  Introduction Dementia is a common disease in the elderly, and a significant source of disability, healthcare spending, and long-term care admissions. There is evidence to suggest that testosterone plays a role in cognitive functioning, and lower serum levels correlate with higher amyloid deposits

  2024-01-09

  

  In the mammalian brain, synapse formation is followed by a period of synapse refinement, and autophagy has been shown to play an important role in this process. For example, Tang and colleagues found that autophagy is required for the developmental pruning of dendritic spines, and that this pruning

  The levels of Mcl-1 and FLIP are homeostatically controlled by transcriptional and posttranslational processes. Accumulating evidence suggested that intracellular signaling molecules such as Akt are crucial to the transcription of Mcl-1 and FLIP [30], [31]. The constitutive activation of Akt is dete

  Genetic analysis of polarity complexes Model organisms such as Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophila melanogaster provide useful means of describing basic biological processes. They lend themselves particularly well to addressing some of the questions arising in this field because of their struct

  What are the in-situ effects of multi-site CaM associations with AT1R? Kai et al. showed that synthetic peptides corresponding to residues 125–137 (rat sequence) in SMD2, 217–227 in the N-terminal side of SMD3, and 304–316 in SMD4JM inhibit to various degrees AngII-induced GTPase activity of isolate

  Introduction Lipoxygenases (LOXs) are key enzymes that catalyze the polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) such as arachidic Pridinol Methanesulfonate (AA), linoleic acid (LA) and others unsaturated fatty acids (Brash, 1999). LOXs are expressed in immune, neural, epithelial, tumor cells and other cel

  The relationship between AG and tau deposition in the presence of Aβ burden warrants more research in AD and in other primary tauopathies (not associated with accumulation of Aβ plaques). Our findings highlight the importance of measuring AG, as this relationship was not evident for total Thonzonium
