2022-01-18
Urinary 1-hydroxypyrene (1-OHP) is a widely used biological marker of exposure to PAHs and indicator for internal dose of activated PAHs (Jongeneelen, 1987, Adonis et al., 2003). PAH metabolites may be excreted either as free or as conjugated compounds. When 1-OHP is measured after treating the urin

Glutathione transferases GST have been discovered
2022-01-18
Glutathione transferases (GST) have been discovered in many tissues including the cornea of humans and several other mammals (Awasthi et al., 1980, Bilgihan et al., 2003; Gondhowiardjo and van Haeringen, 1993; Saneto et al., 1982, Sastry et al., 1995, Singh et al., 1985, Watkins et al., 1991).

A linker length of 4 and 5 atoms was found to be optimal ( and ) compared to the only weakly active compounds with longer linkers ( and ) or the inactive compounds with shorter linker chains (–). In a next step incorporation of hetero-atoms in the linker was explored (). An amide linker as in and d

Mapping and separation of the anti-GlyT1C epitopes allowed us to verify the existence of calpain cleavage sites in isolated mouse synaptosomes. In order to allow calcium to enter the intrasynaptosomal compartment and activate endogenous calpain, we incubated synaptosomes in hypoosmotic high (200μM)

Structural analysis of the MD-open state unveils that the transmembrane domain features a symmetric organization of the pore-lining helices M2 similar to the semi-open structure but with a local asymmetry at the constriction point, which is critical for chloride permeation. The atomistic simulations

With rare exceptions, the biological role of γ-secretase cleavage of substrates other than Notch 1 has been ignored during proof of concept preclinical repurposing studies. For example, in the GSI AD trial, many individuals noted changes in hair color, apparently due to inhibition of tyrosinase, ano

Attractively, existing reports suggest that cellular ferroptosis also probably plays vital role in liver fibrosis [[62], [63], [64]]. Carlson BA et al. illuminated that the ferroptosis regulator GPX4 was important for hepatocyte survival and proper liver function [62]. Sun X et al. showed that Nrf2

Several small molecules, such as erastin and RSL3, are reported to induce ferroptosis in both normal and cancer THZ531 [21,22]. We confirmed that erastin-induced growth inhibition is an ideal ferroptosis model for cardiomyocytes. The erastin inhibits the growth of H9c2 cells in a Fe-dependent manne

Materials and methods Results Discussion The previous studies have reported that positive GLUT1 expression had a predictive value for prognosis of lung cancer patients (Younes et al. 1997a; Meijer et al., 2012; Sasaki et al., 2012). Our conclusion was accordant with these studies. Recently,

GluR-A knockout mice Genetically modified, adult mice lacking the GluR-A AMPA receptor subunit exhibit fast synaptic transmission in the hippocampus, mediated by the receptors formed from the remaining AMPA receptor subunits GluR-B and GluR-C (Sommer et al., 1991), but are deficient in a rapidly

Ghrelin is a brain-gut peptide hormone secreted from the stomach to stimulate food intake by acting on its receptor, growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR). GHSR is expressed throughout the brain and in NPY/AgRP neurons in the ARC (Cowley et al., 2003, Willesen et al., 1999). Ghrelin-expressing

Fig. 3a and b illustrates a slow inhibition by PMA in 2 μM Ca2+. Moreover, channel inhibition was reversed by addition of PKC19–31, a peptide inhibitor specific for PKC, as shown in Fig. 3c. In three experiments, Im was reduced to 14.5±0.6% of the control value by PMA to increase to 207.6±73.6% by a
