  Disclosure Acknowledgement Introduction CYP17A1 is a multifunctional enzyme with both 17α-hydroxylase and 17,20-lyase activities and is essential for the biosynthesis of steroidal Dehydroandrographolide synthesis in male testes and adrenal glands. The 17α-hydroxylase activity of CYP17A1 is

  2024-08-02

  

  Protein–protein interaction networks are an important ingredient for the system-level understanding of cellular processes. Such networks can be used for filtering and assessing functional genomics data and for providing an instinctive platform for annotating structural, functional and evolutionary p

  A large number of studies have shown that oxidative stress is involved in the pathophysiological process of ventricular remodeling and is associated with left ventricular dysfunction (Hori and Nishida, 2009, Lord et al., 2010). The generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that exceeds anti-oxidat

  Many coumarin derivatives can be found in nature. There are more than 1300 types of those purely derived from plants, and if synthetic products are included, their number is immeasurable. According to the earliest existing records extant, herbs containing Psoralen-type compounds, e.g., methoxsalen,

  On the other hand, key Oseltamivir acid also involved in NO metabolism are nNOS and eNOS. Apparently, during acute ischemia, eNOS activity and NO concentration surge for a short period of time (Schulz et al., 2004) but eventually the expression and activity of the synthase and consequently NO concen

  2024-08-01

  

  ARG I is one of the most important mammalian enzymes responsible for nitrogen metabolism since it comprises the main route for the elimination of excess nitrogen resulting from amino pka inhibitor and nucleotide metabolism [18]. ARG I deficiency leads to hyperargininemia, characterized by progressi

  To further investigate the role of cholesterol in the Rh2-induced cytotoxicity, we then focused on the U937 cell line, which is cholesterol auxotroph and considered as a valuable model to study the importance of cholesterol in membrane structure and function (Billheimer et al., 1987), and used the e

  2024-08-01

  

  AMPK as a druggable target AMPK signaling has attracted considerable attention within the past decades, owing to the capacity of pharmacological compounds (e.g., 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide-1-β-D-ribofuranoside [AICAR] and metformin) or natural compounds (e.g., resveratrol) to activate AMPK in

  Introduction Aldose reductase (ALR2) is the first enzyme of the polyol pathway that catalyzes the reduction of glucose to sorbitol utilizing NADPH as a cofactor. The intracellular accumulation of sorbitol, due to increased aldose reductase activity at high blood glucose levels, such as those occurr

• AHR mediated MMP upregulation has been shown

  2024-08-01

  

  AHR-mediated MMP1 upregulation has been shown in response to tobacco smoke [32]. Tobacco smoke contains various AHR ligands such as benzo[a]pyrene. Both benzo[a]pyrene [15] and FICZ [13] are high-affinity ligands for AHR and upregulate CYP1A1 and CYP1B1. FICZ is rapidly degraded by CYP1A1 [20], [33]

  Liver plays a pivotal role in metabolism of xenobiotic compounds, such as environmental contaminants and drugs. Some of these compounds generate hepatic damage and impair its function. It was well-known that 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) could induce pathological changes in mouse and ra

  Although the effects of adenosine receptor signaling in acute renal IRI have been attributed to the generation of high concentrations of adenosine, we have recently reported an increase in kidney levels of both AMP and adenosine, with a concomitant fall in ATP and ADP. We have also previously demons

  Discussion Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection is a main threat to mankind, with one third of the world population being infected.

  The fact that the α1-BPloopAsn141 regains its α-Btx binding with a Kd similar to that of the wild type α1 ECD [18], suggests that the AChBP Cys-loop does not interfere with the correct conformation of the mutant ECD. Data from analogous mutants of the human neuronal α7 subunit ECD showed improved li

  An alternative to the agonist or antagonist potential in drug discovery is the positive allosteric modulator (PAM) approach, which can augment the normal processes of neurotransmission as opposed to directly replacing or antagonizing them. PAMs are thought to bind to sites that are distinct from the
