  It remains to elucidate whether proteolytic activity is the cause or the consequence of changing levels of peptidergic substrates. In fact, in some cases, the expression of the enzyme does not necessarily parallel with its activity [26], [55], [57] and other factors such as a definite biochemical en

  In conclusion, our study would seem to indicate that a hydrophilic microenvironment, which is suitable to accommodate highly hydrophilic molecules with steric hindrance such as aldose hemiacetals, allows the enzyme modulation by one of its most important physiopathological substrates. It is difficul

  Conflict of interest Introduction The Piezo proteins, Piezo1/FAM38A and Piezo2/FAM38B, are multi-pass transmembrane proteins that have been identified as mechanically-activated (MA) homomultimeric, pore-forming ion channels [1,2]. Piezo1 is broadly expressed with its highest expression in blad

  A novel therapeutic strategy based on the APN and obesity paradoxes As shown above, the relationship of the serum APN concentration with health and disease states shows an inverted-U correlation, suggesting that moderate concentrations of serum APN are beneficial (Fig. 3).

  Comparatively, cell-based assays appear to be the most sensitive method to detect patient autoantibodies directed at neurotransmitter receptors. Leite et al. demonstrated that many α-BTX RIA seronegative myasthenic patients do have autoantibodies against the AChR when a highly sensitive immunofluore

  Comparison of the GLUT1-positive plus ACLY negative group with the GLUT1-negative plus ACLY positive group indicated no significant difference with respect to disease-free survival and overall survival. However, some obvious differences in histological types were found in their formation. A previous

  In this review, we will present the traditional and actual strategies to study orphan receptors and identify their ligands. An extensive description of the orphan GPCR field has been published in 2013 by Davenport et al. [22]. Therefore, we will focus on the deorphanizations that were reported since

  Introduction Initially postulated to represent the main source of ATP production in eukaryotic cells, mitochondria are recently recognized to perform manifold essential functions beyond energy production, impacting most areas of cell biology and medicine [1]. Mitochondrial metabolism is both the ba

  We have shown that an extensive region in SERBP1 (amino acids 354 to 474, using co-ordinates based on the full-length isoform, Figs. 1a and 2) is necessary for it to interact with RACK1; since this region has substantial homology to the corresponding region of HABP1 (Fig. 3) it is a reasonable hypot

  The proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines, including IL-1β, TNF-α and MCP-1, mediate acute and chronic inflammation and play a role in the development of hypertension [2, [51], [52], [53]], cardiovascular diseases [4, 54] and renal injury [55, 56] in animal models and humans. Concerning the possi

  In a recent issue of , Minokoshi and colleagues have added more light to our understanding of the role of hypothalamic AMPK in the regulation of energy balance. Previous seminal work from the same group suggested that AMPK in the PVH might be involved in the modulation of feeding . Here, they show

  Discussion AhR is a receptor that binds to a great variety of lipophilic compounds, in particular those containing at least one aromatic ring (Abel and Haarmann-Stemmann, 2010, Guyot et al., 2013, Hahn, 2002). The main known function of this receptor is to induce the metabolism of these compounds

  In summary, the role of 5-HT and different types of 5-HTRs in gating plasticity induction in neocortical circuits remains unclear, with variable and seemingly contradictory effects reported for LTP induction in cortical sensory fields (e.g., V1, enhanced LTP: Inaba et al., 2009, Kojic et al., 1997,
