  Introduction The first use of the term “autophagy” by a French physiologist, M. Anselmier, in a short article describing the effects of fasting in mice published in 1859, took place almost a century before Christian De Duve described it from a mechanistic point of view in a symposium on lysosomes i

  We also measured macrophage infiltration and CLS presence in peri-gonadal AT from db/db mice and controls. CLS are morphological features within AT that are accurate indicators of adipocyte death and macrophage infiltration [56]. An earlier study showed that CLS macrophages account for >90% of the t

  In mice, the Tfm mutation increased the anxiety-state assessed in the novel object and in light/dark box tests, whereas no changes were detected in the open field or elevated plus maze tasks (Zuloaga et al., 2008). As for Tfm rats, this seemed to be related to an increased HPA response to stress. Th

  Regulation of AHR Activity AHR activity is regulated in various ways. First, AHR protein levels are controlled via ubiquitin-mediated proteosomal degradation: Ligand binding induces AHR ubiquitination and subsequent degradation by the proteasome [5]. AIP, a component of the AHR chaperone complex,

  Furthermore, stress hormones can indirectly induce DNA damage, for example by altering DNA repair and transcriptional regulation of the cell cycle. It has been found that stress hormones induce the up-regulation of checkpoint kinase 1 (Chk1) and checkpoint kinase 2 (Chk2) and proto-oncogene cell div

  The A2b action occurs in conditions where high concentrations of adenosine is generated, so its blockage does not interfere with other physiological processes mediated by adenosine and others AR [105]. Furthermore the A3 receptor was shown to have pro-apoptotic effects on tumor lines of breast, lung

  Neural progenitor cells (NPCs) are self-renewing, multipotent cells that are capable of differentiating into neurons, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes. NPCs are activated in response to a variety of pathological states in neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s disease and multiple sclerosis,

  Until now, the molecular interactions of Tmod or Lmod with 90 had been assessed in pyrene-actin polymerization assays [13], [23], [27], [28], [44], [45] or directly measured using non-denaturing polyacrylamide gel-electrophoresis (for Tmod isoforms only [23]), ITC (for Tmod1 and Lmod2) [43], [46], a

  The difficulty of characterizing nAChRs in the central nervous system is also exemplified by early observations that nicotine caused no detectable effect when applied on a brain slice and it is only with the focal and high time resolution of more recent experiments that the effects of nicotinic neur

  Materials and methods Results Discussion The data presented here demonstrate the important role of B lymphocyte-expressed α7 nAChRs in regulating the antibody immune response. It is shown that, in addition to ACh produced by activated T lymphocytes (Fujii et al., 2012), activated B lymphocy

  In patients with spina bifida and spinal cord injury, fecal incontinence is a serious issue that can impair activities of daily living and patient self-esteem. To address this Malone et al. first described the Antegrade Continence Enema (ACE) procedure in 1990 [1], which achieves continence by all

  Although experiments on animals and cells indicate that antioxidant and free radical scavenging agents have protective effects against brain damage, the results of preclinical trials are not as encouraging. Edaravone is a type of free radical scavenging drug that was first used as a neuroprotective

  The gene SRD5A2 encodes the 5-α-reductase enzyme, which converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone. Although dihydrotestosterone levels are considerably lower than testosterone, dihydrotestosterone has a five-fold stronger binding capacity to the androgen receptor and, thereby, a considerably mo
