  Recent data from an investigation conducted with beta-cell cultures and animals suggest that FFAR1 gene pge2 is modulated by stimulation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARG) [10]. Intriguingly, in 2001 we had demonstrated effects of the PPARG Pro12Ala single nucleotide polymo

  2022-06-14

  

  The β-lactam compounds, including ceftriaxone (CEF), have shown to attenuate drug-seeking in several drugs of abuse including methamphetamine [31], cocaine [32,33], nicotine [34] and morphine [35]. Moreover, in our laboratory, we have shown that CEF can reduce chronic alcohol drinking via upregulati

  In conclusion, we have designed and characterized a novel series of EAAT-blockers, exemplified by (-[4-(2-bromo-4,5-difluorophenoxy)phenyl]--asparagine)—a potent, selective, competitive non-substrate inhibitor of EAAT-2. As one of the most potent and selective EAAT-2 inhibitors identified to date,

  2022-06-14

  

  Tight junctions regulate the transfer of ions as well as small molecules across endothelial barriers (Li et al., 2015). We also investigated whether resistin affects tight junctions, which play an important role in the conformation of polarized endothelial barriers (Matsuzaki et al., 2010). A previo

  Fig. 2A demonstrates the body weight gain of the pregestational females. High-fat diet in wild-type mice increased body weight in 2 weeks and sustained this increase over 8 weeks. A similar effect was noted in glut3 mice in response to a high-fat diet. Fig. 2B depicts fat and muscle mass as assessed

  The effect of the selected compounds on NF-kB transrepression was assessed using the well-studied HeLa B2 cell line that expresses endogenous GR and NF-kB family members and responds properly to glucocorticoids and pro-inflammatory cytokines (such as TNF). Our data revealed that the two hit compound

  2022-06-14

  

  The mechanism underlying the anorectic effect of OXM is well established. It is centrally mediated via GLP-1 receptor activation, confirmed by both pharmacological blockade of the GLP-1 receptor, and using GLP-1 receptor knock-out mice [2], [11], [12]. However, the mechanism by which it increases en

  Some other neuroinflammatory, neuroendocrine, and neurotrophic pathway but not the ghrelin/GHSR pathway may mediate the CUMS-induced depression- and anxiety-like behaivors. The endogeous ghrelin/GHSR pathway activated by chronic mild stress may plays a role in homeostasis. With respect to the mecha

  With rare exceptions, the biological role of γ-secretase cleavage of substrates other than Notch 1 has been ignored during proof of concept preclinical repurposing studies. For example, in the GSI AD trial, many individuals noted changes in hair color, apparently due to inhibition of tyrosinase, ano

  CC is a widespread disorder affecting up to 20% of people worldwide, which also deteriorates the quality of life of patients and causes a substantial economic burden to society. There are 3 categories of CC: normal-transit constipation, slow-transit constipation and defecatory or rectal evacuation d

  One effective approach to fine-tuning the lipophilicity profile of FFA1 agonists is to ‘decorate’ the 3-phenylpropahoic Ponesimod scaffold with polar heterocyclic moieties. Alternatively, this scaffold could be replaced with heterocyclic isosteres (as in Takeda’s compounds 1,2 and 3 as well as Amge

  Introduction In addition to glucose, which is the foremost stimulator of insulin secretion in beta-cells, other nutrients such as free fatty acids (also called non-esterified fatty acids, NEFA) contribute to glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS). Glucose triggers the processes leading to in

  For our test subjects, we used established high fat diet–induced obese (eDIO) male mices T2DM models. The establishment of eDIO mice was accomplished with a 60% high fat diet ad libitum over a 14 week period (initiated at 6 weeks of age). Compared with regularly-dieted mice, the eDIO ones weigh sign
