  Accumulated evidence indicates that apelin plays a protective role in ischemic stroke, contributing to post-stroke recovery (Yang et al., 2014; Chen et al., 2015; Xin et al., 2015; Yan et al., 2015). Apelin gene (APLN) encodes prepro-apelin with 77 amino acids, while the C-terminal 23 hydroxycarboxy

  Materials and methods Results Discussion Persimmon tannin has been reported to have the bile acid binding ability in vitro (Matsumoto et al., 2011) and hypolipidaemic effects in animals (Matsumoto et al, 2008, Zou et al, 2012). Our previous study also proved that persimmon tannin promoted t

  More recently, it was discovered that BChE hydrolyzes the neuropeptide gut hormone, ghrelin [25], [26], [27], [28]. Nonetheless, because the enzyme reaction is very slow, those who first reported this finding were initially reluctant to attribute a real physiological role for that phenomenon. Our ow

  2019-07-18

  

  In general, cellular senescence is considered a programmed response to stress that can be activated by oxidative stress, irradiation or action of substances or drugs. These stressors cause DNA damage and, through the action of specific proteins (p53 and p21), lead to cell senescence (di Fagagna, 200

  Although PD is traditionally viewed as a motor disorder, evidence from numerous epidemiologic (Shiba et al., 2000) as well as case–control studies (Richard, 2005) suggest the occurrence of non-motor symptoms including hyposmia/anosmia, gastrointestinal disturbances, sleep abnormalities, autonomic dy

  2019-07-17

  

  Estrogen receptors (ERs) belong to the third class of nuclear receptors (NR3) [23]. Two different forms of ER have been described, ERα and ERβ. They are coded by two distinct genes (ESR1 and ESR2, respectively) containing 8 transcribed exons that give rise to six conserved protein domains: domains A

  In normal chow fed mice, EP4 deficiency also decreased the expression of CYP8B1, the downstream target of CYP7A1. Similarly, knockdown of EP4 with small interfering RNA reduced the expression of CYP8B1 in HepG2 cells. Therefore, it was anticipated that there would be an increased expression of CYP8B

  The eNOS 27-bp VNTR polymorphism has been found to be associated with altered plasma NO levels. This polymorphism also has been associated with many vascular diseases including hypertension, diabetic retinopathy, and diabetic nephropathy in various populations. Notably, our results were different fr

  2019-07-17

  

  These studies established IAP proteins as dimeric RING E3 ligases, but did not account for the essential role of dimerization. In IAPs and related E3s, such as RNF4 and MDM2, dimerization not only depends on contacts from the core RING domain but also residues N- and C-terminal to the RING domain (B

  The three-dimensional crystal structure of Ca2+ loaded CaM reveals a dumbbell-shaped molecule with two roughly globular lobes, the N- and C-terminal lobes linked by a long solvent-exposed helix, which has been shown by NMR to be non-helical in its central part and flexible in solution [13]. Each glo

  We propose two hypotheses to interpret our findings. The first, ELR (+) CXC chemokines stimulate both CXCR-1 and CXCR-2 chemokine receptor while activating neutrophils; however CXCR-1 chemokine receptor seems to play more active role in the process of neutrophil migration as shown in previous studie

  The binding of collagen X to DDR2 differs from the binding of collagen X to α2β1 integrin in that the triple helical conformation is essential for DDR2 binding. We previously reported that heat denatured pepsinised collagen X supported cell adhesion via α2β1, indicating that the triple-helical confo
