  Previous studies have documented that SCFAs may elicit effects on lipid metabolism via de novo synthesis and transport. Acetate is not only used as an energy source, but is also constituted as a substrate for the cholesterol synthesis in the liver through acetyl-CoA, thus affecting plasma cholestero

  During the past decade, it became increasingly clear that the affinity and efficacy of small agonists acting on the orthosteric binding site of a GPCR can be modulated by ligands that bind to a topographically distinct (allosteric) binding site on the same GPCR molecule 33, 39, 40, 41, 42. This allo

  In this report we describe studies of the effects of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) and acyl-CoA synthetase (ACSL1) on palmitate-induced ER stress in the human cardiomyocyte-like cell line AC16 [22], which was derived from adult ventricular heart tissue. PPARγ is a nuclear rece

  The study reported here had the primary goal to compare the methylation of HPV late genes with methylation of the DAPK promoter, and with histological or cytological diagnoses among high-risk patients that were referred to a colposcopy clinic based on abnormal cervical cytology. Based on the literat

  CaneCPI-4 showed strong inhibitory activity against recombinant falcipain-2 and falcipain-3, with IC values of 11.9±0.4nM and 42.3±0.8nM, respectively (Table 1, Supplementary material). Falcipains are involved in hemoglobin cleavage, with generation of two fractions: the heme and the globin. The hem

  In contrast, crystal structures of the oxyester-linked Ubc13 and UbcH5b conjugates (Eddins et al., 2006, Sakata et al., 2010), and the NMR structure of the disulfide-linked UbcH8 conjugate (Serniwka & Shaw, 2009), revealed distinct open conformations (Fig. 10.3). In part, differences in the position

  Due to the high attractiveness of E2 and E3 ligases as drug targets, a number of drug discovery assays have been published, based on detection by fluorescence (Dudgeon et al., 2010, Krist et al., 2016, Zhang et al., 2004), dopamine-2 receptor antagonist (Davydov et al., 2004, Huang et al., 2005, Ke

  AMPHs facilitate dopamine release, which further triggers dopamine depletion [72]. Indeed, we observed that repeated treatment of MPA significantly inhibited TH-, DAT-, and VMAT-2 levels. Since DAT and VMAT-2 are important for dopaminergic terminal markers [10], their decreases suggest that MPA-indu

  Employing distinct genetic and pharmacological approaches, Divakaruni et al. now demonstrate that macrophages still acquire their IL-4-elicited phenotype in the absence of CPT1a (considered the main isoform in leukocytes) or CPT2, and highlight that the increased LC-FAO in M(IL-4) cells is less cruc

  Another question concerns the mechanism of PC reduction during the phosphate starvation response. There are at least three main mechanisms of PC depletion: suppression of PC synthesis due to substrate exhaustion, downregulation of PC synthase expression by suppression of gene transcription or intens

  Making the BN-Cox model computationally efficient One of the challenges to applying the BN-Cox model is an exponential growth of the conditional probability tables (CPT) corresponding to the survival variables, as the number of risk factors increases [22]. When the number of risk factors is high,

  Interestingly, Carver, Johnson, and Kim (2016) investigated a polymorphism in the OPRM1 μ-opioid receptor gene for its role in sensitivity to social contexts. The G allele of this polymorphism was associated with higher levels of sensitivity. The authors found significant interactions, e.g. the nega
