  Introduction AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) has been found to be a key character against cardiovascular diseases and cellular stress. When activated by certain stress, AMPK regulates sugars and fatty acids that are good or detrimental to the heart. For example, targeting AMPK phosphorylation

  2025-01-23

  

  COPD is almost unheard of in individuals less than 40 years of age (even among heavy smokers), 1 in 10 lifetime never-smokers and 1 in 3 develop COPD by age 75 [26], unquestionably, COPD is an age-related disorder. This notion of accelerated ageing of COPD is supported by animal models, which demons

  2025-01-22

  

  Pioneering studies on the immunomodulatory role of adenosine date back to the early ‘70 s of last century (Fig. 1), when the critical role of this nucleoside in shaping the development and the activity of several immune cell populations was first established [[18], [19], [20], [21], [22]]. This then

  Concluding remarks ROP is a major cause of childhood blindness in the world. Current pharmacological therapy focus on anti-VEGF strategy, but this strategy is associated with the unintended effects on delayed eye growth and retinal vasculature development of preterm infants. Preclinical studies u

  Several reports of single cases of MG patients treated with Rituximab have claimed a favourable response (Baek et al., 2007, Gajra et al., 2004, Hain et al., 2006, Thakre et al., 2007, Wylam et al., 2003, Zaja et al., 2000). We report our experience with Rituximab in 6 patients with severe MG, 3 pa

  2025-01-22

  

  Bioactive peptides contain 2–20 amino acids with possible bioactivities including antihypertensive, antioxidant, antimicrobial, anticancer, and opioid activity [9], [10], [11]. There has been a great interest in antihypertensive peptides for their efficiency in lowering blood pressure. The antihyper

  Introduction Chronic inflammation is increasingly known as one of the most critical etiological factors in gastrointestinal (GI) cancers (Lee et al., 2016; Wang and Cho, 2015). Overexpression of 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX), 5-LOX-activating protein (FLAP), as well as other leukotriene (LT) biosynthetic

  Among steroid saponins, ginsenosides are the active components of ginseng, a well-known chinese medicinal plant. More than hundreds of different ginsenosides have been isolated from ginseng and have shown in the past to be membrane active substances and to influence the membrane by modulating lipid

  The alamarBlue test revealed that recombinant apelin led to an increase in basal and IGF1- and FHS-induced ovarian cell proliferation. Apelin increased ERK1/2 and Akt protein expression, but cell proliferation returned to control levels in the presence of kinase inhibitors. This suggests that the pr

  2025-01-21

  

  Perhaps the first evidence of AMPKs therapeutic ability in DM1 came from Thomas Cooper’s laboratory where they demonstrated that insulin-independent glucose uptake was unaffected in human DM1 muscle neuropeptide receptors treated with MET, an AMPK activator and first-line therapy for type 2 diabete

  Based on their different sources, the APN inhibitors (APNIs) can be divided into the natural products and synthetic compounds. Bestatin (1, Fig. 1), isolated from the Streptomyces oliuoreticuli by Umezawa et al., is the first reported and only marketed natural dipeptidomimetic inhibitor of APN. Afte

  Functional repercussions of each trimming pathway A main difference between the two pathways presented in Fig. 1 lies in enzyme kinetics and selectivity. In pathway #1, the substrate for ERAP1 is free peptide, and so both kinetics and selectivity are determined by interactions between the peptide

  Our results lead to the discovery and characterization of VvAAT2, a gene potentially involved in acetate accumulation in grape berries discovered through amino-acid feeding experiments. Incubation with exogenous amino acids has also been a key in the discovery of new genes affecting fruit aromas [13

  AhR Modulators It is now well recognized that ligand-activated AhR induces an immune tolerance response by acting directly on the antigen-presenting DCs and indirectly by increasing the population of immunosuppressive Tregs 24, 95, 96. In addition to inhibiting the formation or depleting the AhR
