2021-10-16
H3R antagonism can prevent seizure development and improve working memory through the activation of histaminergic neurons (Huang et al., 2004, Zhang et al., 2003). In addition, we have recently found that H3R antagonism protects against ischemia-reperfusion injury via histamine-independent mechanism

The urinary levels of 1-OHP among the exposed workers were higher than those reported for a Brazilian group of charcoal workers (0.07 μmol mol creatinine) exposed to wood smoke (Kato et al., 2004), and for nonsmoking bus drivers (0.19 μmol mol creatinine) and nonsmoking mail carriers (0.11 μmol mol

In this study, we explore different mathematical models for describing the IVIVC of a preclinical dataset of 12 different dual GPR109A/GPR81 agonists. The objective is to establish a predictive model of in vivo lipolysis suppression in the rat based on in vitro potency data. First, a nonlinear mixed

The need for an ‘inflammatory risk profile’ was recently discussed by several investigators. The present study is all the more significant in that it shows that a phenomenon that is influenced by various atherosclerotic risk factors and acute phase proteins is, indeed, associated with a less favorab

Introduction l-Glutamate is a major excitatory neurotransmitter in the mammalian central nervous system (CNS) that contributes not only to fast synaptic neurotransmission, but also to complex physiological processes like memory, learning, plasticity, and neuronal cell death [30], [81]. Glutamate is

Here, we studied GLUT1-targeted nanomedicines as a new strategy directed to overcome vascular barrier, enhancing delivery and efficacy in solid tumors. These nanomedicines were prepared by controlled installation of glucose on polymeric micelles incorporating the antitumor agent cisplatin, which is

Several other assay parameters were also explored. First, the thermal dependence of the assay was investigated by measuring the specific activity at different temperatures (Fig. 7). That data show that enzymatic activity increases with increasing temperature. Interestingly, the observed rate increas

Tumor-specific CD8+ cytolytic T lymphocytes (CTLs) recognizing tumor antigenic peptide/major histocompatibility complexes-I (pMHC-I) presented on tumor cells play an important role in antitumor immunity [12]. However, immune tolerance including central (natural) or peripheral (acquired) tolerance be

In addition to the importance of heme as an enzymatic cofactor, heme also acts as an important iron source. In order to access the iron within heme, S. aureus encodes heme degrading enzymes known as heme oxygenases (Skaar et al., 2004b; Wu et al., 2005). The two heme oxygenases encoded by S. aureus,

Introduction Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fifth most lethal malignant tumor worldwide and is the second leading cause of cancer-related death [1]. For HCC patients, protoporphyrin ix virus (HBV) infection is the important causative risk factor in Asia-Pacific regions [[2], [3], [4]]. In C
