  2022-01-15

  

  In studies described earlier, IRL-1620 was administered intravenously; however, because of its short half-life (Rubin and Levin, 1994) (about 7–8min), the dosing had to be repeated three times. Also, a dose-dependent hypotension was observed with repeated doses of IRL-1620 in rats (Leonard and Gulat

  H2R agonists In search for potent and selective H2R agonists, comprehensive structure–activity relationship studies have been conducted and led to the first H2R agonists, e.g. 4(5)-methylhistamine (16) which is actually now used as selective H4R agonist (Fig. 4) (Durant et al., 1975, Lim et al.,

  Classically HIF-α levels and consequently HIF transcriptional activity have been associated with hypoxic conditions. However, some years ago, regulation by hormones of HIF transcriptional activity under normoxic conditions was demonstrated. Different stimuli such as heregulin, IGF1 and insulin, amon

  Heme and the HO system Heme, a complex of iron and protoporphyrin IX, has versatile functions, which are critical for the survival of all aerobic organisms including mammalians and bacteria [9]. The central iron in heme facilitates six ligand binding sites [10], four of which are occupied by nitr

  2022-01-15

  

  The RAS/RAF/MEK/ERK pathway is a central controller of cell proliferation and survival and, consequently, alterations to some of its components lead to hyperactivation of the pathway, an event related to numerous types of cancer [172]. High rates of alterations to this pathway are found in leukemia,

  These to date remain the only two reports of mutations in GC-C found in humans. Perhaps this once again emphasized the critical requirement of the presence of an optimally functional GC-C in the intestine, since neither its loss, nor its hyperactivity, can be tolerated in humans without severe conse

  In contrast, the sGC activator BAY 58-2667 relaxed the CC in a concentration-dependent manner (Figure 4B), a response that was significantly increased in the CC of sGCβ1ki/ki mice compared with WT mice. The finding that BAY 58-2667 also possessed a corporal relaxing effect in WT mice is suggestive b

  Introduction In the 1980s, nitric oxide (NO) was first characterized as critical to both innate immunity and endogenous signaling in animals [[1], [2], [3], [4], [5]]. NO was the first gaseous signaling molecule synthesized by animals to have its biochemical signaling pathway fully described [2]. P

  GPR119 is a class A GPCR expressed on pancreatic β-cells and certain enteroendocrine dna-pk pathway which upon activation with an agonist, increases insulin secretion in response to rising glucose levels. Mechanistically, this insulinotropic effect is bifurcated involving both GPR119-mediated β-c

  Gene expression of both GPR109A and GPR81 in adipocytes has been linked to PPARγ activation [22]. Treatment with the thiazolidinedione (TZD) PPARγ agonist, rosiglitazone, increases GPR109A and GPR81 expression, and knockdown of PPARγ suppresses receptor expression in fully differentiated human multi

  Thyroid hormone 3,5,3′-triiodothyronine (T3) and its precursor, thyroxine (T4), are iodinated compounds, which are known to regulate the expression of genes involved in various biological processes, such as development, growth and metabolic control. The iodothyronine deiodinase types I, II and III (

  Free fatty Thiolutin receptor 1 (FFAR1, also known as GPR40) belongs to the family of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and was de-orphanized in 2003 as a receptor for medium-to long-chain free fatty acids (FFAs) [9,10]. Mainly expressed in beta cells of pancreatic islets, GPR40 can be activated
