  Acknowledgments Introduction Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is a chronic, fibrosing interstitial pneumonia and a crushing disease that occurs as a result of a variety of lung injuries, including auto-immune, tuberculosis and traumatic insult [1], [2]. PF is characterized by the accumulation of extracel

  Bamboo, the fastest growing, multipurpose woody plant with a myriad of industrial and domestic uses is intricately associated with the cultural, social and economic conditions of people in many Asian countries. Its uses are not only limited to being used as a substitute for wood in construction, fur

  Insulin is the central hormone involved in the control of glucose and lipid metabolism. Other nonmetabolic effects of insulin are intensively studied as well. Activation of insulin receptor not only promotes glucose uptake, protein synthesis, and inhibits lipid metabolism, but also is crucial for re

• Several mechanisms of Cd induced carcinogenicity

  2023-11-20

  

  Several mechanisms of Cd-induced carcinogenicity have been reported and are comprehensively summarized by Hartwig [32]. As early as 1980, basic science studies supported a role for endocrine disruption of AR by Cd. Donovan et al. [33], using extracts of mouse prostate cytosol, showed Cd to be the mo

  2023-11-18

  

  The specific mechanisms underlying glutamine dependency are still being explored, and current research indicates that the mechanisms likely vary between breast cancer subtypes. In HER2-positive breast cancer, increased levels of the transcriptional activator PGC-1α lead to expression of genes that m

  For hippocampal asymmetry, two SNPs (rs1476679 and rs4147929) showed significant interaction with diagnosis. They have an inverse effect on asymmetry, which is consistent with their different roles as preventative or risk loci in AD. rs1476679 is intronic in the ZCWPW1 gene, is a histone modificatio

  Various compounds have been designed to inhibit aldose reductase (AR) [12]. These compounds can be classified into two main categories, the first category comprises those containing a carboxylic Miglitol mg moiety, for example, 3-thiazolidineacetic acid derivative, which has been reported to be a p

  Last decade has provided a number of studies indicating that AhR signaling could play a role both in the development and in progression of multiple cancer types, with potential implications for cancer therapy (for review see (Kolluri et al., 2017; Murray et al., 2014)). Activation of AhR is consider

  2023-11-18

  

  The disease-stimulatory effects of hyperadiponectinemia in patients contradict a previous view based on studies of preclinical models showing that APN might be beneficial for AD [8]. Indeed, despite the action of APN as a risk factor in patients with AD, APN is protective against oxidative stress-in

  2023-11-18

  

  Introduction The cytoskeleton allows cells to establish, maintain and transform their shape. In neurons, these include cell differentiation, migration, polarization and development of their unique arborization. Axons are very thin (~1 μm), long (up to 1m) and highly branched (>95% of the plasma mem

  2023-11-18

  

  The gene SRD5A2 encodes the 5-α-reductase enzyme, which converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone. Although dihydrotestosterone levels are considerably lower than testosterone, dihydrotestosterone has a five-fold stronger binding capacity to the androgen receptor and, thereby, a considerably mo

  The cytochrome P450 enzyme 17α-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase (P450) is involved in the production of the C containing androgen precursors from the C containing steroids such as the pregnanes and progestins (). Steroids such as androstenedione (AD) and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) are therefore synthesi

  Material and methods Results Discussion This study explores the hypothesis that ASK1, via transcriptional upregulation by E2F1, molecularly defines AT that supports a dys-metabolic obese phenotype in humans. We demonstrate associations between increased visceral-AT ASK1 expression and multi

  Thirdly and finally, multiple studies have analyzed the activation of neurons in the auditory telencephalic areas of songbirds in response to various auditory stimuli. Neuronal activation was identified by the increased expression of immediate early genes such as fos or ZENK (also know as zif-268, e

  Based on its kinetic parameters and quaternary structure, R. pycnus arginase is a typical ureotelic L-arginase [2]. The Km value of the enzyme was lower than other arginases from other organisms (Table 2), including S. cerevisiae (15.7mM), B. anthracis (10mM), B. caldovelox (3.4mM), human liver (2.3
