  In a recent study, Neelaveni et al. [47] revealed that new thiazolidinedione derivatives (Fig. 6 a and 6 b) produced dual PPARγ and FFAR1 agonistic activity at micromolar concentrations with insulin sensitizing effects and enhanced insulin secretion from the pancreas. These derivatives were reported

  2022-01-30

  

  Autophagy plays a multifaceted role in regulating both the quality and quantity of protein (e.g., protein half-life and activity) and organelles (e.g., mitochondrial number and function), thus determining cell fate [15]. The induction of autophagy has been generally considered a programmed cell surv

  2022-01-29

  

  Nowadays, it is accepted that ligands which have been classically described as inverse agonists, due to their negative efficacy at modulating the G protein pathway, could also display some positive efficacy regarding receptor desensitization, internalization, or even signaling though another pathway

  2022-01-29

  

  The inhibitory activities of new compounds against P. aeruginosa were determined in both DTSB media supplemented with heme or free iron and LB media (Table 1). The MIC50 values of the compounds ranged from 42 to 260 μg/mL in DTSB medium and from 26 to 230 μg/mL in LB medium. Among these new inhibit

  2022-01-29

  

  In contrast to RhoA, Rac1 and Rap1 which are stimulated by platelet activators and inhibited by NO/PKG, the GTPase ADP-ribosylation factor 6 (Arf6) is regulated in the reverse way. Platelet agonists like thrombin, collagen, or ADP, reduce Arf6-GTP levels, whereas NO and PGI2 oppose this reduction [1

  Family A Receptors as Promiscuous Sensors for Peptone and Free Fatty Acids (FFAs) In addition to the family C 7TM receptors, several family A 7TM receptors are promiscuous in their ligand preferences, and several respond to organic nutrients from food, notably protein degradation products and FFA

  2022-01-29

  

  PBI-4050 is an agonist of GPR40 and acts as an antagonist or inverse agonist of GPR84. It cannot be excluded that other targets besides GPR40 and GPR84 could be implicated in the mechanism of action of PBI-4050 and could be explored in future studies. However, the present study, and in particular th

  2022-01-29

  

  A number of anti-diabetic drugs are available that inhibit α-glucosidase activity, including acarbose, voglibose and miglitol [6,7]. These inhibitors, however, also exhibit undesirable side effects, such as adverse gastrointestinal symptoms and liver toxicity [8,9]. For diabetics, it would therefore

  Vertebrate steroid receptor evolution Conclusion The teleost WGD event resulted in the duplication of the vertebrate GR and MR and two GRs have been retained in the majority of teleost fish studied so far. The molecular basis for this retention has yet to be fully understood. The cloning of th

  2022-01-29

  

  Glucagon was described as an insulin secretagogue as early as 1965 (Samols et al., 1965). Our studies extend these findings by demonstrating that this is a direct effect mediated by distinct receptors in the mouse pancreas. Previous experiments on isolated β 94 7 synthesis clearly show that glucago

  Presenilins and Wnt/β-catenin signalling Several groups have provided substantial data indicating that PS1 acts as a negative modulator of the transcriptional activity of the β-catenin/Tcf-4 complex (Fig. 4) [120], [121], [122]. β-Catenin is a multifunctional protein that was first described as a

  The knowledge that piroxicam competes with ligands that bind to FPR may be of importance for a deeper understanding of the anti-inflammatory effects possessed by this NSAIDs. It has recently been reported that not only phagocytes but also platelets express FPR on their cell surface and that these re

  Rho-family GTPases are molecular switches; most which cycle from an ‘on’ GTP bound state to an ‘off’ GDP bound state, driven by GEFs (guanine nucleotide exchange factors) and GAPs (GTPase-activating proteins) respectively. Association with lipid membranes through a lipid (farnesyl or geranylgerany

  The atherosclerosis development requires additional pro-inflammatory response in the vascular tissue, promoting increased levels of adhesion molecules such as VCAM-1 (vascular cell adhesion molecule-1) and ICAM-1 (intercellular adhesion molecule-1). Cytokines such as TNF-α and IL-1β are able to upre
