  The association of male gender with increased atherosclerosis has stimulated interest in the role of androgen signalling in this condition. Androgens act (Fig. 2) by direct activation of androgen receptor (AR), a nuclear receptor that acts as a ligand-regulated transcription factor (Gao et al., 2005

  Conclusions Our study confirms that N-terminal mutations can affect Aβ fibril and oligomer formation, despite lying outside the core amyloid region of Aβ. Of the three factors that may influence Aβ-mediated toxicity (primary structure of Aβ, assembly structure and cellular responses), our results

  In human epidermoid carcinoma A431 cells, 12-lipoxygenase was significantly increased in glutathione-depleted cells. The relative abundance of phospholipid hydroperoxide versus glutathione peroxidase seems to play an important role in controlling the lipoxygenase reaction [57]. It has been proposed

  Introduction Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a worldwide public health problem. This problem is even worse in socioeconomically deprived countries because lower income and social deprivation are associated with higher incidence of reduced GFR, progressive kidney function loss and end stage renal

  Since the first studies of betaine aldehyde oxidation in rats [13], the participation of betaine in the detoxification of homocysteine has well described, considering the activity of other tcid synthesis as betaine homocysteine methyltransferase and methionine synthase. But, there is a lack of atte

  Conclusion Conflict of interest Acknowledgements Introduction Human salivary aldehyde dehydrogenase (hsALDH) (E.C. 1.2.1.5) is the first line of defence against toxic aldehydes in the oral cavity. HsALDH is primarily a dimeric, class 3 ALDH (ALDH3A1) specific for aromatic and long/medium

  Adiponectin belongs to the CTRP (C1q/TNF-related protein) superfamily. Except for adiponectin, 15 additional members have been identified (CTRP1-15) (Schaffler and Buechler, 2012). Of all the CTRPs, CTRP9 has the highest identity to adiponectin in globular domain (Wong et al., 2009). The structure o

  Introduction Adenosine deaminase (ADA), which can catalyze the conversion of AD to inosine by removing an amino group, is a key hydrolytic enzyme of purine metabolism (Conway and Cooke, 1939), and plays an important role in an amount of diseases. For example, an increase of ADA activity in serum

  GMFβ was later localized to the cytosol of primary astrocytes and glioma cell lines [67], prompting investigations into its involvement in intracellular signaling. It was found that PKA phosphorylation of GMFβ inhibits the ERK1/2 branch of the MAP kinase pathway [73], yet activates the stress-respon

  There is evidence to suggest that GMF activities are regulated in vivo by post-translational modification. indeed, there is strong precedent for ADF-homology family proteins being regulated in this manner. Cofilin is inhibited by phosphorylation of a serine residue at its N terminus. This residue

  Regarding androgens, it is known that they are also essential for reproductive success (Walters et al., 2010). At the molecular level, their effects are produced mainly by dihydrotestosterone (DHT), arising from the conversion of testosterone by the enzyme 3-oxo-5-alpha-steroid-4-dehydrogenase (enco

  Direct inhibition of 5-LO activity by BRP-187 is clearly evident in cell-free assays using PMNL homogenates and isolated human recombinant 5-LO as enzyme source. In such assays, pure FLAP inhibitors like MK886 are inactive [9], [10], [29], [44]. Wash-out experiments and studies using the nonionic de
