  2020-12-09

  

  In cholesterol synthesis, HMG-CoA reductase is the rate limiting step in cholesterol biosynthesis. Statins or HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors are commonly used for management of hypercholesterolemia. The presence of an HMG-like moiety on these drugs allows them to competitively bind to the catalytic do

  2020-12-09

  

  Renal injury by cisplatin has been associated with oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis (Francescato et al., 2007, Iseri et al., 2007, Kiymaz et al., 2008, Ueki et al., 2012). Specifically, apoptosis is an important mode of cell death in cisplatin nephrotoxicity, and many studies including

  Evidence for interactions between the endothelin and the angiotensin system has also become plentiful. It has become clear that the two systems, in addition to acting independently, can act synergistically (Emori et al., 1989, Imai et al., 1992) as well as promote the peptide mRNA expression in endo

  2020-12-09

  

  Our comparison of all ERα (iso)forms with ERβ immunostaining suggests that overall ERβ expression is lower than that of ERα isoforms. This contrasts the so far reported data for ERs in the lung, but is not a paradox; in pathology routine, ER positivity is defined stricto senso by nuclear WT ERs. As

  2020-12-09

  

  Effects of estrogens on bone Estrogens play an important role in bone remodeling, as demonstrated by studies in mice in which the ER genes were deleted [21], [22]. ERβ compensates for the JQ1 of ERα, and vice versa, but when both ERs are deleted a profound decrease in trabecular bone volume is o

  Four-μm thick sections of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue samples from uterine cervical cancers were cut with a microtome and dried overnight at 37 °C on a silanized-slide (Dako, Carpentaria, CA, USA). The protocol of the universal Dako Labeled Streptavidin–Biotin kit (Dako) was followed for

  Both progesterone and the calcium ionophore A23187 rely on the synthesis of cAMP by sAC to elicit exocytosis in human sperm (Fig. 2E-H and [8], [60]). We had reported earlier that digestion of endogenous cAMP with recombinant cAMP-specific phosphodiesterase 4D [9] or inhibition of its synthesis with

  Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is considered a major health concern and is associated with extremely high rates of mortality in case of aortic rupture. The main pathophysiologic mechanisms leading to aortic dilation include the degradation of the extracellular matrix (ECM) components, such as colla

  When six chemical inhibitors were incubated with TRB or TRC and human liver microsomal preparation, HLM2, the results showed that ketoconazole (a CYP3A4 inhibitor) was very effective in inhibiting 4β-C hydroxylation of TRB and TR, whereas sulfaphenazole (a CYP2C9 inhibitor) and quinidine (a CYP2D6

  For statistical analysis, the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) was used (version 21.0; SPSSInc., Chicago, IL). Chi-square (x2) exact test was used for the comparison of categorical data, whereas Wilcoxon and Mann–Whitney U tests were used for the analysis of nonparametric variables bas

  The two most important biological machineries controlling proteostasis, PQC, and degradation are autophagy and the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) (). Autophagy is a lysosome-dependent, tightly regulated catabolic process that degrades unwanted cell organelles and cytoplasmic constituents in lysos

  Boulares group [82] has demonstrated that the NF-κB1/p50 NF-κB, a family member of type I NF-κB, is an excellent substrate for DNA-PK, which-dependent phosphorylation of NF-κB1 at serine 20 appears to enhance its binding to DNA as either a homodimer or a heterodimer with p65 NF-κB and the ability of
