  The skin permeability barrier is important for the prevention of loss of water and electrolytes from inside the body and for protection against the invasion of external pathogens, allergens, and harmful compounds. Multi-layered lipids, called lipid lamellae, are present in the outermost cell layer o

  2023-08-18

  

  Apelin is a peptide hormone and an endogenous ligand for a G protein-coupled receptor named APJ [7], [8], and apelin and APJ are widely expressed in human organs including hypothalamus, heart, lungs, kidneys, adipose tissue, muscles, and others [9]. Apelin is initially synthesized as a 77-amino-acid

  Although the role of apelin and APJ receptor in cardiovascular functions has been well-elucidated, little is known for the effect of the central apelinergic system on gastrointestinal (GI) functions. In mice, it has been found previously that central exogenous apelin-13 decreased gastric emptying (G

  2023-08-18

  

  Over expression of the inflammatory cytokines, MMPs and COX-2 act as an important inducer of chronic inflammation. COX-2 catalyzes the biosynthesis of prostaglandins (PGs), and induced expression was observed in phorbol 12 myristate 13 acetate stimulated with pro-inflammatory cytokines or bacterial

  Scutellaria moniliorrhiza Komarov (Labiatae) is a perennial herb and mainly distributed in Jilin province, China. In traditional Chinese medicine, the whole plants have been used to clear away heat-evil, expel superficial evils, eliminate stasis and reduce edema (He et al., 2012). In previous phytoc

  ABCA2 is a sterol-responsive gene The first evidence to demonstrate that ABCA2 expression responded to sterol loading was provided in an experiment involving monocyte to macrophage differentiation in vitro. Upon sterol loading with enzymatically degraded LDL (eLDL), ABCA2 expression increased onl

  Human testicular peritubular tubulin (HTPCs) are also the only human testicular cell type that can be isolated, cultured and studied in vitro (Albrecht et al., 2006, Mayerhofer, 2013). Results from recent studies indicate that their roles go beyond sperm transport and include immunological function

  Introduction Adenosine 3′,5′-monophosphate (cAMP) is a general-purpose signaling molecule present in most branches of life. Intracellular cAMP levels control diverse cellular functions. In bacteria, cAMP regulates metabolism by activation of the catabolite activator protein (CAP), also known as cAM

  In recent years, there have been further significant developments that enhance an understanding of the role of adenosine in nociception. Thus, novel methods of recruiting adenosine A1Rs have been developed, and the role of adenosine A2A- and A3Rs in nociception has been further elaborated. Furthermo

  Adenosine A2A agonists have been shown to significantly reduce albuminuria in diabetic mice as well as plasma creatinine [24]. Proteinuria was greater in diabetic A2A knock-out (KO) mice than diabetic wild type (WT) mice [24]. Consistent with these findings, our laboratory initially found that prote
