  2025-01-27

  

  Aurora -A or -B selective and pan-aurora inhibitors have demonstrated different preclinical and clinical therapeutic efficacies [2,[19], [20], [21], [22], [23]]. For example, clinical trials for a pan-Aurora inhibitor VX-680 (developed by Vertex) were halted at phase II for toxicity reasons (one cas

  2025-01-27

  

  Lower LDL-C mediated by variants in the ACL gene is causally associated with the risk of cardiovascular events. Because, genetic variants that mimic the effect of an ACL inhibitor have the same effect on the risk of cardiovascular events per unit change in LDL-C as variants that mimic the effect of

  2025-01-27

  

  The enzyme Arginase 1 (ARG1) plays a role in the hepatic urea cycle by hydrolyzing L-arginine to L-ornithine and urea [13]. In the context of macrophages and MDSCs, ARG1 expression redirects L-arginine metabolism to abolish cytotoxic nitric oxide production [14], suppress T-cell function [15], [16],

  2025-01-27

  

  Apelin/APJ triggers a variety of cellular signaling pathways (Fig. 1). Recent studies from our laboratory showed that apelin-13 induces vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation by the upregulation of Cyclin D1 expression, which is involved in an ERK-dependent activation of Jagged-1/Notch3 si

  2025-01-27

  

  Another interesting aspect of neutralizing AP-1 is the inhibition of interactions between AP-1 and Smad proteins, which synergize to activate the TGF-β1-responsive genes involved in hypertrophic growth of the heart muscle and in the development of cardiac fibrosis. Through preventing AP-1 activation

  2025-01-27

  

  Reactive oxygen species is an aspect of oxidative stress which are associated with many diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, inflammation, atherosclerosis and cancers (Collins, 2005; Halliwell, 1994). Thus, the need for naturally occurring antioxidants is of crucial importance. Some biop

  2025-01-27

  

  Because of the critical roles played by AMPK in energy sensing and cancer cell survival, a huge number of drugs have been proposed to exert their pharmacological effects by means of AMPK activation (Kim and He, 2013). For example, metformin has been shown to activate AMPK in muscle (Sajan et al., 20

  In another study, Yerra and Kumar (2016) used streptozotocin to induce diabetic neuropathy in rats. Mechanical/thermal hyperalgesia, motor/sensory nerve conduction velocities (MNCV and SNCV) and sciatic nerve blood flow (NBF) were evaluated. In vitro studies of Neuro2a (N2A) cell culture were perfor

  2025-01-26

  

  Norepinephrine and epinephrine are catecholamines (CA) released from synaptic nerves and the adrenal gland that mediate systemic responses to nutritional stressors (Cannon and De la Paz, 1911). CA mobilize plasma glucose by suppressing insulin secretion from the pancreatic β-cell (Katada and Ui, 198

  2025-01-26

  

  The Cebu Longitudinal Health and Nutrition Survey (CLHNS) genome-wide association study investigated the genetic loci associated with plasma adiponectin in 1776 unrelated Filipino women. Adiponectin was strongly associated with three genetic positions: the gene CDH13 (rs3865188, P ≤ 7.2 × 10−16), ne

  In this study, in an effort to explore the possible role of 5-HT6 receptors in mediating the memory-enhancing effects of YL-0919, we first assessed the memory-enhancing effects of YL-0919 in the Morris water maze, object recognition test and step-down passive avoidance task. In addition, we then inv

  2025-01-26

  

  Vortioxetine is a multimodal antidepressant that acts as an inhibitor at the serotonin (5-HT) transporter (SERT), an agonist at 5-HT1A receptors, a partial agonist at 5-HT1B receptors, and an antagonist at 5-HT1D, 5-HT3 and 5-HT7 receptors (Bang-Andersen et al., 2011, Sanchez et al., 2015). Based on

  The 5α-reductase activity in patients with 21-OHD, as assessed by the 5α-THF to 5β-THF (ratio 3) and by the 5α-17HP to 17HP (ratio 4) ratios, showed a similar pattern of activities (Fig. 2A–C) and significant correlations (ratio 1 vs. ratio 3; rs=0.67; p1530 to the 5α-reducase activity, the activit

  NOXA, a BH3-only protein, is best known as a selective inhibitor of MCL-1, which is a highly expressed pro-survival protein in many human malignancies [30]. In addition, NOXA was recently proven to act as a direct activator via directly binding to BAX to induce apoptosis [31]. Given that its levels
