  If the manager channel dominates, we expect the increase in debt maturity of treated firms relative to control firms to be more evident in firms with weaker corporate governance where managers are less monitored and have more discretion in changing firm risks. We use the governance index (GINDEX) co

  The H2R antagonist cimetidine (Tagamet™) became the first billion-dollar drug in the 1980s for the treatment of peptic ulcer disease. Other H2R antagonists include ranitidine, famotidine, nizatidine, and zolantidine, the latter showing good BBB penetration with a steady-state brain/blood ratio of 1.

  2022-01-27

  

  The stability and function of the HIF-1α protein are affected by many post-translational modifications (PTMs), including hydroxylation, acetylation, ubiquitination and SUMOylation [[29], [30], [31]]. It has been shown that HIF-1α stability is regulated by LSD1 [25]; in particular, the Set9 histone m

  We demonstrated that bilirubin, the product of heme metabolism by HO-1, exerted a potent suppression of NADPH oxidase activity (Fig. 2B). Different from the down-regulation of NADPH oxidase subunit by HO-1 induction in macrophages [24], the protein levels of the NADPH oxidase subunits in vascular en

  Introduction Cancer has been a significant public health problem in the world with more patients being diagnosed every year. However, chemotherapy from non-specific cytotoxic agents that as an effective means of cancer treatment is limited by severe side effects and poor selectivity. Thus, the deve

  Furthermore, we also found that both activation of oncogenes and inactivation of tumor suppressor genes occurred in HBV oval cells, which showed opposite pattern in HBV hepatocytes. These genes might take part in neoplastic transformation of oval cells induced by HBV regarding the multipotent role o

  Interestingly, the virulence of HBV may adaptively evolve, thus affecting the macroscopic propagation of hepatitis B. Higher virulence in vivo may result in a higher transmission rate and mortality. By assuming that the transmission rate is a monotonically increasing function of virulence, , we prop

  2022-01-27

  

  Introduction Soluble guanylyl cyclase (GC-1) maintains vascular function through the NO/GC-1/cGMP pathway [1,2] by catalyzing the conversion of GTP into cGMP (Fig. 1). The GC-1 heme prosthetic group binds NO with picomolar affinity, resulting in a 100- to 200-fold increase in catalytic activity.

  Materials and methods Results Discussion Recently, we characterized the interaction of the PH domains of various Lbc family RhoGEFs with the activated small GTPase, RhoA, and demonstrated that this could serve as a positive feedback mechanism for robust activation of RhoA (Medina et al., 20

  2022-01-27

  

  The absolute requirement for substrate prephosphorylation raised the possibility that short phosphorylated peptides might serve as selective substrate competitive inhibitors. A set of phosphorylated peptides patterned after known GSK-3 substrates was generated and shown to inhibit GSK-3 in vitro in

  In the pathogenesis of insulin resistance, chronic activation of inflammatory pathways plays an important role, and the macrophage/adipocyte inter-communication provides a key mechanism underlying the common disease states of decreased insulin sensitivity [10]. This involves the migration of macroph

  To test this concept, we took advantage of our large supply of various 2-pyridyl containing [3.1.0] cores (inactive with alkyl or aryl sulfonamides) and prepared the -methylimidazole sulfonamide analogs and (), as work form Merck demonstrated that the 2-pyridyl moiety was superior to the original

  To further investigate the molecular mechanisms that underlie glycine's β-cell protective effects through its antioxidative activity in diabetes, we used a H2O2/high glucose-induced apoptosis cell model. Similar effects on ROS generation of high glucose and H2O2 support the in vivo results, suggesti

  2022-01-26

  

  Albumin is the major carrier of free fatty acids (FFAs) in plasma [59], and harbours seven binding sites that are common to FFAs with a range of chain-lengths (C10-C18) across its three domains (Fig. 1a) [60,61]. In vitro, saturated, mono- and poly-unsaturated FFAs, with chain lengths ranging from C

  Ning et al. showed that LPC 18:1 appeared to increase insulin release through both GPR119-dependent and -independent mechanisms (Ning et al., 2008). In our study, we have shown that not only GPR119 but also GPR40 and GPR55 participate in LPC-stimulated insulin secretion (Fig. 4, Fig. 5) and target p
