Forskolin is a labdane diterpene produced from the root of Coleus forskohlii (Bhat et al., 1977). Its extract has been recorded in Ayurveda medicine since ancient times and its medicinal value has been studied since early-1980s (Bristow et al., 1984; Kavitha et al., 2010). Early studies have suggest

The heterogeneity among studies that investigated the association of COMT Val158Met with alexithymia was also significant (Ham et al., 2005; Min et al., 2016; Swart et al., 2011; Zekioglu et al., 2014). The healthy status, drug effect, and other demographic variables also influenced one\'s ability o

Conclusion In summary, we provided evidence that spinal cord injury animals do develop mechanical allodynia as well as an upregulation of mainly ETAR after spinal cord injury that are associated with the pain processing. Thus, endothelial receptors antagonists might constitute an attractive pharm

Phytoestrogens are plant-derived polyphenolic non-steroidal compounds that have estrogenic properties [18]. The main classes of phytoestrogens are lignans and isoflavones. Lignans, found in cereals, fruits, and vegetables, are metabolized by intestinal bacteria to enterolactone and enterodiol. Soybe

Keratin 8 (K8) has been identified as the first intermediate filament expressed during development in amphibians and mammals. In zebrafish, a type II cytokeratin 8 (zf-K8) cDNA has been cloned. zf-K8 gene was maternally inherited and expressed in all surface cells throughout the embryonic stages old

An increase in the levels of the chemokines CCL-5 and SDF-1 was not noted in either group of women or men with APD as compared with the control group. However, an increase in the levels of the chemokines CCL-5 and SDF-1 was observed in the group of women and men with APD and PTSD versus the group of

Apart from neutrophil-mediated inflammation, the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines from PGD2/CRTH2 activated macrophages could further aggravate LPS-induced lung injury (Eguchi et al., 2011; Jandl et al., 2016). Interestingly, genetic ablation of CRTH2 diminishes the TNF-α prod

Results from both hepatic and renal microsomal catalytic activity and Western immunoblotting showed no significant difference between retinol and the control groups for CYP2E1. The liver displayed approximately double the CYP2E1 catalytic activity when compared to the kidney. Differential CYP2E1 act

Sexually dimorphic testosterone hydroxylase activities have been suggested as a biomarker of endocrine disruption caused by xenobiotics (Wilson et al., 1999). The results from the studies reported here suggest that dietary exposure to the endocrine active test compounds, all of which have demonstrat

Being an in vitro study it has some limitations before it can be translated to the clinic. We investigated several cell models in which the results on EMT or ACF are not always identical. We selected the models to be complementary, we saw that EMT induction by stimulation (TGF-β1 or CoCl2) is functi
