  2022-01-10

  

  In the liver, ghrelin has opposite effects to insulin on the expression of the enzyme PEPCK, thereby promoting gluconeogenesis and also causing a decrease in glucose uptake and fatty Atglistatin oxidation (Rigault et al., 2007). Ghrelin also stimulates hepatic lipogenesis de novo in a GH-independent

  Gap junctions, hemichannels and connexins: Molecular characteristics and function Cell-to-cell communication is of extreme importance in tissue homeostasis, which is maintained by transmission of regulatory signals (Fig. 1). Intercellular communication via gap junctions (GJs) represents one of th

  The present data suggest that the decrease of liver BAs was mainly due to the decrease of hepatic BAs synthesis because the BA synthetic enzymes Cyp7a1, Cyp7b1 and Cyp8b1 were markedly reduced. The increase may also be due to the increase of hepatic BAs efflux, because the liver BA efflux transporte

  This study introduces a mouse model carrying the point mutation R258W in Ffar1, which abolishes the stimulation of insulin secretion in response to long chain fatty acids. The minimal genetic alteration mirrors the human situation and has the advantage over conventional knockout/congenic mouse model

  Not all metals are susceptible of being accumulated by insects. Tissue concentrations of essential metals like Cu and Zn are regulated in many insects and hence cannot be used to biomonitor metal pollution (Hare, 1992). A similar behaviour could explain the observed stability of Zn and Cu relative t

  GPR55 is a G protein-coupled receptor that has pro-oncogenic properties and whose expression correlates with tumor aggressiveness and increased activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) cascade [12]. Elevated expression of GPR55 has been linked to aggressiveness in human pancreatic,

  In order for cytokines to exert any effect on the NSC population, they must first bind to specific receptors on the cell surface. Numerous pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines are able to exert effects on the NSC population, including IL-1β through IL-1R1 and IL-1R2, TNFα through TNFR1 and TNFR2, IL

  As natural ligands of GPR120, several long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (Lc-PUFAs) have been demonstrated to modulate the 3T3-L1 adipogenic differentiation. However, the effects of the Lc-PUFAs are inconclusive. DHA is shown to inhibit, promote or even not affect the differentiation of preadipo

  The life cycle of T. cruzi requires both vertebrate and invertebrate hosts. In the insect (invertebrate) vector, the protozoan undergoes extracellular replication, whereas in the mammalian (vertebrate) host it replicates by obligate intracellular multiplication (Rodrigues et al., 2014). Hence, the p
