  In addition to lifestyle factors, genetic factors may also influence the efficacy of antineoplastic drugs in breast cancer patients.16, 17 The HER2 gene contains several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Two of the most investigated HER2 SNPs are Ile655Val (rs1136201) and Ala1170Pro (rs1058808

  2021-10-12

  

  To date, several studies have suggested that serum HER2 could be used as a biomarker for monitoring the disease course and the patient's response to therapy [110], [111]. However, the clinical usefulness of serum HER2 has not been fully validated because of conflicting data [31]. The enzyme-linked i

  2021-10-12

  

  Fatty acids have been repeatedly shown to increase the responsiveness of pancreatic islets to glucose both in vitro and in vivo[6]. The recent identification of GPR40 as a receptor for free fatty acids that is localized to the pancreatic islet cells has therefore stimulated interest in obtaining sma

  2021-10-12

  

  Limitations of our study are the following: we did not measure central energy metabolism in parallel, so we can only hypothesize that GLUT1 hypermethylation may be associated with alterations in central glucose metabolism. We did not measure GLUT1/GLUT4 gene expression or glucose uptake, so that we

  The in vivo biological activity of the four novel analogues was then systematically assessed in three animal models including normal control, high fat fed and ob/ob mice. As expected from earlier in vitro studies, all four glucagon receptor antagonists had minor effects on glucose or insulin concent

  Extending time action is another strategy to increase in vivo efficacy. Twice daily administration of the unacylated analogs herein caused greater body weight loss in DIO mice than the equivalent dose administered as a single daily injection, suggesting that protracted time action should yield more

  2021-10-11

  

  Arena Pharmaceutical introduced a biaryl sulfone derivative with antagonistic activity at H3Rs known as APD-916, ((R)-1-(2-(4'-(3-methoxypropylsulfonyl)biphenyl-4-yl)ethyl)-2-methylpyrrolidine), which was rationally designed from corresponding sulfonamides in order to yield compounds with short dura

• Histamine functions as a key neurotransmitter

  2021-10-11

  

  Histamine functions as a key neurotransmitter in multiple circuits to control various behaviors. In Drosophila photoreceptor, histamine is produced de novo by histidine decarboxylase (Burg et al., 1993); meanwhile, maintaining normal histamine content also depends on the histamine recycling pathway

  2021-10-11

  

  We recently reported that the human-derived PancCa cell line PANC-1 and the human-derived hepatocellular HepG2 cell line express GPR55 mRNA and protein [21]. In PANC-1 and HepG2 cells, knockdown of GPR55 with specific siRNAs abrogates cellular uptake of Tocrifluor 1117, a selective GPR55 ligand [21]

  2021-10-11

  

  For some agonists, these stable GPR119 responses were resistant to washing. Thus, sustained activation could continue, for at least a number of hours, even after removal of free agonist. These data are consistent with reports for other GPCR systems that do not desensitize (Calebiro et al., 2009, Fer

  The neuronal glycine receptor/3α-HSOR/allopregnanolone pathway may also be extended to the central nervous effects of gelsemine and koumine in brain. 3α-HSOR is expressed in certain brain regions in rats and humans, such as the limbic system including hypothalamus, hippocampus and amygdala, in addit

  Materials and methods Results Discussion Ghrelin is reported to regulate a number of processes related to cancer progression including tumor cell proliferation, apoptosis and metastasis [3,7,[15], [16], [17], [18], [19], [20], [21], [22]]. In the present study, we examined the potential eff

  The mechanism by which Piezo1 acts in the regulation of RBC volume is not firmly established. Its curved structure implies that it is activated by an increase in membrane tension (11), a mechanism indicated by electrophysiological measurements (16). However, the RBC membrane mechanics at its physiol
