  At the organismal level, skeletal muscle, lung and adipose tissues mediate net de novo synthesis and release of glutamine, whereas net glutamine catabolism occurs in the kidney [7]. The liver exhibits net glutamine consumption coupled to urea production in the post-absorptive state, and net glutamin

  In a recent series of studies from our laboratory, to characterize the contractile systems within the rat D-NMAPPD wall, three conditions were identified that led to detrusor activity: spontaneous micro-contractions, electrical field stimulated (EFS) contractions and muscarinic agonist induced cont

  Materials and methods Results Discussion Conclusions These studies provide important mechanistic insights to explain the long-established physiological observation that obese adipose tissue has higher rates of basal lipolysis. Increased lipolysis contributes to increased hepatic DCPIB p

  2024-07-30

  

  AMPK is a serine/threonine protein kinase composed of a catalytic α subunit with the activating phosphorylation site (Thr172) and two regulatory subunits, β and γ. The two AMPK variants, α1 and α2, show different cellular localization in mammalian cells. AMPKα2 is detected in nuclear and non-nuclear

  2024-07-30

  

  Lipotoxicity is the accumulation of excess lipids in non-adipose tissues that leads to cell dysfunction or cell death. It may play an important role in the pathogenesis of diabetes, and contributes to the rate of progression of CKD [7,8]. Emerging evidence indicates that renal lipid dysregulation is

  2024-07-30

  

  Adenosine can modulate neutrophil bactericidal functions. A dual regulatory effect has been reported for adenosine on phagocytosis. Indeed, the activation of A1 receptors augments this process, while the stimulation of A2A receptors was found to reduce the phagocytic activity of neutrophils [89]. In

  Several reports of single cases of MG patients treated with Rituximab have claimed a favourable response (Baek et al., 2007, Gajra et al., 2004, Hain et al., 2006, Thakre et al., 2007, Wylam et al., 2003, Zaja et al., 2000). We report our experience with Rituximab in 6 patients with severe MG, 3 pa

  Patients with AAG often respond to intravenous immunoglobulin or plasma exchange. If these therapies are inadequate, ongoing immune suppression with steroids, azathioprine, mycophenylate or rituximab have been shown to be effective in case reports. Our patient seemed initially resistant to steroid t

  Further analysis sought to understand the mechanism associated with the autotaxin-mediated increase of miR-489-3p in circulation. Based upon sequence complementarity, DIANA TarBase predicted miR-489-3p targets MAPK2K1, or MEK1, an oncogene widely dysregulated in cancer (Fig. 4A). To test this relati

  2024-07-30

  

  Introduction Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death worldwide and is one of the most refractory of solid tumors along with pancreatic cancer. Since 1975 there have been notable improvements in the 5-year survival rate of patients with lung cancer [1]. This improvement in survival is tho

  Introducing toll like receptors TLRs are the most important receptors which are expressed on the cytoplasmic and internal vesicles membrane. They have a similar structure including a leucine-rich repeats (LRRs) domain which is out of gw501516 sale membrane, a hydrophobic transmembrane and a toll

• Since obesity appears to impact leptin and adiponectin level

  2024-07-30

  

  Since obesity appears to impact leptin and adiponectin levels in opposite manners, several studies have suggested that the serum adiponectin/leptin ratio may be a key parameter in indicating the relative risk of postmenopausal breast cancer (Ollberding et al, 2013, Cleary et al, 2009). Therapeutic s

  l-Arginine supplementation was reported to be efficient, inefficient or toxic in aged patients. The present study does not support our hypothesis that increased tissue arginase activity may account for the ineffectiveness and even the toxicity of l-arginine supplementation in ageing. Indeed, except

  Introduction Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) present a class of blood cells with an ability to form new blood vessels relying on pre-existing vessels, which contribute to postnatal angiogenesis [1], [2]. A wide range of studies have demonstrated that EPCs play a critical role in angiogenesis
