  2023-12-13

  

  Testosterone can be converted into estrogens by aromatase action. Aromatase is encoded by CYP19, belongs to cytochrome P450 superfamily, and synthesizes estradiol (E2) and estrone (E1) from testosterone and androstenedione respectively (Fig. 1). Aromatase is expressed in the ORS of anagen hair folli

  2023-12-13

  

  Calcium entry through postsynaptic NMDARs activates intracellular signaling cascades including Ca2+/calmodulin (CaM)-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) and calcineurin. The spatiotemporal abundance of this Ca2+/CaM complex determines the direction of synaptic plasticity, resulting in LTP (Malinow

  As regards feeding, the ability to dissipate surplus energy in the form of heat is beneficial for animals if the protein concentration in the food is low, since it allows them then to meet the adequate protein intake requirement without getting fat. Some of the major dietary activators of the AHR ar

  Exposure to B[a]P is an epidemiologically proven cause of lung cancer (Hecht, 2003; Rojas et al., 2004; Alexandrov et al., 2010), and the formation of B[a]PDE-N2-dG adducts is considered to be the critical event in lung tumorigenesis by B[a]P. On the other hand, there is evidence suggesting that the

  In a recent series of studies from our laboratory, to characterize the contractile systems within the rat Mifepristone wall, three conditions were identified that led to detrusor activity: spontaneous micro-contractions, electrical field stimulated (EFS) contractions and muscarinic agonist induced c

  Adiponectin in prostate cancer PC was documented as the leading type of malignancy in males in the US with respect to both the estimated number of cases (22,800) and deaths (27,540) (Siegel et al., 2016). Studies have reported an association between low APN levels and the progression of PC (Micha

  Based on the observation that antipsychotic drugs increase 5-HT1A–D2 heteromerization level (Łukasiewicz et al., 2016), we set out to compare the effect of paroxetine to that of risperidone. Paroxetine, a potent SSRI, is very effective in the treatment of depression and anxiety disorders, e.g., gene

  Salivary α-amylase activity was not significantly different between bitches with pyometra and healthy bitches, and there were no significant changes after ovariohysterectomy, similar to chromogranin A (Jitpean et al., 2015). Therefore, it is postulated that the SAM axis is not activated in bitches w

  It is well accepted that PKA is a key enzyme activated at the beginning of the capacitation process [69]. As mentioned above phosphorylation/inactivation of cofilin in sperm is a PKA dependent process [58]. We could not see any change in cofilin phosphorylation level by adding the PKA activator 8Br-

  Introduction Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disease in which antibodies against targets on the postsynaptic muscle membrane cause neuromuscular transmission failure. About 85% of patients with MG have autoantibodies against Eltrombopag Olamine receptor (AChR) [1]. In AChR negative MG pa

  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
