  It has been proposed that angiotensin II (Ang II) may upregulate COX-2 expression and the subsequent vasoconstrictor prostanoids production through the activation of AT-1 receptors in vascular smooth muscle cells (Hu et al., 2002). Additionally, this peptide is also able to stimulate the generation

  Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is an irreversible, age-associated neurodegenerative disorder that is characterized by progressive memory loss and cognitive decline. AD is also the leading cause of dementia, accounting for 5 million cases in the United States and 44 million cases worldwide. In 2015, AD c

  All desired compounds with a carboxylic Hordenine synthesis substituent at N1 position of the quinoxalinone scaffold and a variety of aromatic substituents at C3 position were obtained by the syntheses starting from methoxy-substituted 3-chloro-quinoxalin-2(1)-ones () prepared as previously. As sho

  Impact of global AHR deficiency on diet-induced obesity Two subsequent studies in which AHR function was affected at the whole animal level corroborated the role of AHR in dietary obesity. Xu et al. [14] showed that on a high-fat diet, both AHR-deficient Ahr−/− and hemizygous Ahr+/− mice gained s

  Implicit in this concept is the idea that the β-adrenoceptors in the detrusor would be activated by adrenergic nerves of the sympathetic system: sympathetic activity promoting relaxation and enhancing bladder capacity. However, it has been demonstrated that there is only a sparse adrenergic innervat

  The second evidence comes from the results obtained by patch-clamp recordings carried out at the endplate region of isolated mouse FDB fibers, where adenosine and the P1R agonist NECA significantly affected the NPo, the open frequency and the time constant τ of the adult nAChR channels. It is genera

  Among the enzymes involved in adenosine metabolism, adenosine kinase plays an important role in regulating formation and release of endogenous adenosine in cardiomyocytes as well as vascular endothelial cells Decking et al., 1997, Kowaluk et al., 1998, Smolenski et al., 1994. Inhibition of adenosine

  Curcumin is the principal natural polyphenol curcuminoid of turmeric (Curcuma longa) rhizome, a member of the ginger family (Zingiberaceae) [13]. Curcumin has a wide spectrum of therapeutic properties, and it has been shown to possess antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antiangiogenesis, che

  In the olfactory bulb, expression was especially prominent in the mitral cell layer from embryonic stages to adult tissues (Figs. 1D–G). By E14–E16, Ack1 signal was remarkably intense in the proliferative ventricular zone (Fig. 1D). From E18 to adult, expression was also observed in glomerular and g

  Introduction Lipoxygenases (LOXs) are a heterogeneous family of enzymes that catalyze the peroxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). By oxidizing free PUFAs, they were shown to contribute to the generation of various bioactive lipid mediators. However, LOX-mediated oxidation of PUFAs es

  To evaluate the ability of both sets of compounds to inhibit the activity of 15-LOX an initial screen was performed, whose results are shown in . The comparison of inhibition values would seem to indicate that, in the HYD series, an electron donor group at the position increases and an electron at

  Conflicts of interest Introduction Arginase catalyzes the reaction in which l-arginine is converted to l-ornithine and urea. In humans, two arginase isoenzymes have been identified, arginase 1 and arginase 2, that differ in cellular location and tissue distribution [1]. Both arginase enzymes a

  Introduction The corpus luteum (CL) is a transient endocrine gland that differentiates from the thecal and granulosal cells of the ovarian follicle after ovulation. Its formation and limited lifespan in the mammalian ovary is important for fertility, as the CL produces progesterone (P4), the essent
