  Introduction High dose niacin, or nicotinic acid, has been used as an athero-protective drug for more than 50 years (Carlson, 2005, Offermanns, 2006). When taken in pharmacological doses (>1g/day), the nicotinic cyclooxygenase form of niacin modulates plasma lipid profiles including decreasing c

  On the basis of their relative Glu transport rates and anion currents, EAATs group into two functionally distinct classes, EAAT1–3 being efficient Glu transporters with small associated macroscopic anion currents and EAAT4–5 low-capacity transporters with predominant anion conductance [18]. The diff

  2022-02-14

  

  Transmembrane AMPA receptor regulatory proteins (TARPs) are a relatively newly discovered protein family. Prototypic TARP, stargazin, was found by a spontaneous mutation in ataxic stargazer mouse line as a homologous protein to γ1 calcium channel subunit (Letts et al., 1998). The role of stargazin

  Ghrelin interactions with the opioid system The endogenous opioid system is an important regulator of appetite and metabolism (Bodnar, 2017, Nogueiras et al., 2012). In fact, several pharmacological studies have demonstrated that agonists of the three opioid receptors (mu, kappa, and delta) incre

  2022-02-14

  

  The effects of galanin on anxiety may depend on the site of drug administration, on the galanin receptor subtypes activated and on the animal models of anxiety employed (Barrera et al., 2005, Holmes and Picciotto, 2006, Soares et al., 2016a, Soares et al., 2016b). For instance, administration of gal

  In the light of the above-mentioned considerations, it is interesting to note that the FPR-related research with regards to bias agonism did not prosper during considerably during the last decade (possible exceptions are [[8], [9], [10], [11]]. However, with new insights in receptor chemistry and fu

  2022-02-14

  

  When taken together, data suggest CRF plays a central role in linking the HPA axis, the eCB system, and the amygdala with anxiety (Hill et al., 2009, 2010a; Hillard et al., 2011). In elaborate studies in mice, Gray and colleagues (Gray et al., 2015) showed stress-associated increase in CRF concentra

  2022-02-14

  

  DZNep is a PRC2 inhibitor that inhibits S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase, resulting in cellular accumulation of S-adenosylhomocysteine. S-adenosylhomocysteine is a competitive inhibitor of methyl donor for methyltransferases [38]. DZNep targets EZH2 by reduction in the level of the enzyme H3K27me3 a

  Thus, while there is ample evidence to rule out a generalized blockade of TGF-ß signaling by Hippo pathway activation upon establishment of cell–cell contacts, more recent studies have established that, in specific contexts, Hippo and TGF-ß signaling may either interfere or cooperate with each other

  Chemistry The 8-methylsulfanyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-thieno[3,4-g]isothiadizaole scaffold was synthesized from commercially available 1,3-dioxolane-2,1′-cyclohexane-4-one 17 (Scheme 1). The isothiadizaole ring was formed with SOCl2 from N-carboxamide hydrazine imine 19, which was prepared from 17 and hy

  Introduction Depressive disorder is a syndrome characterized by a group of heterogeneous symptoms that affect more than 350 million people worldwide, 4% of world population (WHO, 2012). The WHO estimates depression will be the leading global cause of disability in 2020, with tremendous economic c

  Numerous stimuli lead to inactivation of GSK-3, including Growth Factors such as EGF (Epidermal Growth Factor), PDGF (Platelet-Derived Growth Factor), BDNF (Brain-derived neurotrophic factor), IGF (Insulin-like growth factor) and insulin (Beaulieu et al., 2009, Chen and Russo-Neustadt, 2005, Cohen a

  In contrast to UDG, SMUG1 exhibits dramatically lower product yield in its excision of U, and this is not dependent on sequence context. Though we cannot rule out that a small amount of the product is derived from a duplex contaminant, our extensive purification techniques limit the amount of contam

  The standard model of stress postulates the activation of both the sympathoadrenomedullary axis and the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenocortical axis. Long-term activation of either neuroendocrine axes has been shown to be harmful [12]. Short-term activation of the sympathoadrenomedullary axis is used t

  Here, we used a designer receptors activated exclusively by designer drugs (DREADD)-based chemogenetic approach in a novel Ghsr-IRES-Cre knock-in mouse line to test whether the activity of MBH GHSR neurons is required for the normal rebound food intake following fasting. We also used the Ghsr-IRES-C
