  2021-12-10

  

  Ghrelin receptors in non-mammals are reportedly more “complicated/complex and diverse” than in mammals, having additional paralogs and splice variants (Kaiya et al., 2014). Several teleost fish GHS-Rs have been identified; however, functional characterization has been conducted in only a few (see, K

  2021-12-10

  

  Prion diseases are transmissible and result in fatal neurodegenerative disorders, which, similar to AD, also involve the infiltration and activation of mononuclear phagocytes in angiogenesis lesions (reviewed in [61]). A 21 amino-acid fragment of the aberrant human prion protein, Prp106–126, can fo

  In conclusion, the present study shows that the endothelin system is of importance in the cardiopulmonary vascular pathophysiology of porcine endotoxin shock. In this model, combination of a selective endothelin ETA and a selective endothelin ETB receptor antagonist markedly improved pulmonary circu

  With the aim to identify potential novel targets in CVD, we applied proteome analyses on vascular tissue of these frequently used mouse models of atherosclerotic disease in the presence and/or absence of diabetes. Potential targets for intervention identified with this approach were validated in hum

  Work is presently underway to unveil mechanisms whereby SAHA-dependent restoration of cardiomyocyte autophagic flux is protective. Another interesting question pertains to mechanisms whereby class I and class II HDAC inhibitors induce autophagy. It has been demonstrated that TSA reduces transverse

  Here, we used chemogenetic modulation of MBH GHSR neurons to address the role of the endogenous ghrelin system in the normal, hyperphagic response to a short-term fast. Studies demonstrating the requirement of an intact ghrelin-GHSR system for the rebound food intake following fasting have been inco

  2021-12-09

  

  ETV5 plays an important role in tumorigenesis and metastasis. For example, chromosomal rearrangement of ETV5 which results in increased ETV5 level is believed as a common event driving human prostate cancer (Helgeson et al., 2008; Huang and Waknitz, 2009). Ghrelin/acyl-ghrelin also plays an importan

  The Cx family of integral membrane proteins [13] are key components of the Gap Junction channels that provide GJIC, which is indispensable in the preservation of tissue integrity and homeostasis in multicellular organisms. Gap Junction channels form a conduit for exchange of ions (Ca2+), second mess

  The interrelationship between obesity and galanin Numerous studies revealed that obesity and galanin may promote each other. On the one hand, galanin may increase the possibility of obesity of subjects via boosting their appetite and food intake. Acute injection with galanin or its agonist, galan

  A frequent complication of SIRS and sepsis is the development of increased airway resistance and lung inflammation [2], [3]. For example, Uhlig et al. [3] demonstrated that rat lungs exposed to endotoxin present increased airway resistance due to constriction of terminal Dihydro-β-erythroidine hydro

  We detected the FFAR2 protein with a molecular mass of about 50 kDa, which is comparable to the main band detected in pigs (Li et al., 2014) but different from the calculated size based on the sequence (Wang et al., 2009). The size difference can be explained, at least in part, by glycosylation site
