  As expected, the 19-nortestosterone-derived progestins tested were moderate agonists of hAR (C), with EC50s ranging from 2 to 10nM, however all were less potent than the endogenous ligand DHT by at least a factor of 6, with relative potencies ranging from 0.0301 to 0.164. This is in agreement with p

  We continued to investigate the contribution of the EP1 IT-901 receptor to nociceptive sensitization by utilizing its natural ligand PGE and tested the effect of local subcutaneous injection of PGE (5nmol in 5μl) into one hindpaw on mechanical and heat pain thresholds. Wild-type mice displayed maxim

  For immobilization of enzymes, natural polymers depict several outstanding features as support. These materials are inert, non-toxic, biodegradable and biocompatible. As well as, they can be treated with different functional groups easily by chemical reactions that occur under gentle conditions in a

  Our results from neutropenic mice infected with both fungal strains revealed that the inflammatory process was more severe 72hours post-infection (Fig. 4). Angioinvasion was mainly observed 48hours after infection for both strains. Transformation of A. fumigatus conidia into hyphae in immunocompeten

  Conclusions Acknowledgment Introduction The role of cholesterol metabolism during multiple sclerosis (MS) is debated and the underlying physiopathology largely unknown. Dyslipidaemia is associated with worsening inflammatory activity and MS disease progression [1], [2], [3]. In the mouse mo

  2020-03-27

  

  Several limitations of this study need to be acknowledged. First, although 200 patients were recruited into this study and completed assessments at baseline, only 89 patients completed the cognitive tests after 8weeks of treatment. The relatively long study period (8weeks) was the main reason for th

  Against this backdrop, we set out to identify synthetic and endogenous ligands that bind directly to and regulate the activity of Nurr1. Owing to the pivotal role Nurr1 plays in producing and processing dopamine, and the need for neurons to tightly regulate dopamine levels, we postulated that the re

  DGKδ negatively regulated the extension of long axon/neurite (Fig. 4, Fig. 5, Fig. 6). The results strongly suggest that deficiency of DGKδ induces OCD-like behavior by enhancing axon/neurite outgrowth. DGKδ positively regulates growth factor signaling (Crotty et al., 2006). Therefore, DGKδ deficien

  The small GTPase Ran regulates karyopherin–cargo interactions and the directionality of karyopherin-mediated transport. Like other Ras-family GTPases, Ran cycles between GTP- and GDP-bound states, and the two surface loops in Ran, referred to as the switch I and switch II loops, undergo significant

  The inhibition of FAS by C75 produces an accumulation of malonyl-CoA which is difficult to reconcile with the activation of CPT1 reported by others [2], [16], [17], [18]. To unravel this paradox the mechanism of action of C75 needs to be examined. We recently demonstrated that C75 is converted in vi

  2020-03-27

  

  In humans, individual differences in prefrontal dopamine are partially caused by the Val158Met single-nucleotide polymorphism on the catechol-O-methyltransferase gene (COMT). This gene controls activity of the COMT enzyme, which degrades extracellular catecholamines including dopamine. The Val varia

  Several lines of evidence suggest that the anxiety provoking behavioral effects of CRF involve CRF1 receptors. CRF1 knockout mice show increased anxiolytic-like activity in the elevated plus maze and a tendency to enter the illuminated region of a light–dark box [49], [52]. In addition, studies usin

  Dienogest (DNG) Dienogest is a 19-nortestosterone derivative with two special structural changes [Fig. 1a]: [a] At the cabon-17 position there is a cyanomethyl group instead of an ethinyl group; [b] A double bond is present between carbons 9 and 10. DNG is the only progestogen that combines prope

  Not all of the biological activities exhibited by progestogens (Table 1) are mediated via binding to SRs. For example, the anti-estrogenic action of progestogens in the 680C91 is due to the progestogen-bound PR suppressing ER gene expression, and consequently the ability of the cell to respond to es
