  2022-04-11

  

  One of pathogenesis of COPD is oxidant/antioxidant imbalance. Indeed, it is well known that chronic tobacco smoking is a major risk factor for the development of COPD, and a defect in the detoxification of reactive species produced by cigarette smoke may predispose smokers to airflow obstruction and

  Finally, a potentially effective therapeutic approach is to target the LDH enzymes that mediate bidirectional conversion of pyruvate into lactate. In particular, because LDHA is the predominant isoform expressed in glycolytic tumours, an array of LDHA-targeting compounds have been proposed and valid

  Continuing studies of endocannabinoid ligands at GPR55 reveal that virodhamine (O-arachidonylethanolamine) and AEA can act as a partial agonists at GPR55; at high micromolar concentrations can inhibit β-arrestin recruitment (Sharir et al., 2012). It is likely that there are allosteric as well as ort

  A subsequent modeling study by a different group was based on the bovine rhodopsin homology model using the 1L9H construct [38]. However, the site-directed mutagenesis data and docking suggested that the niacin-binding pocket is different to that described in the aforementioned report, but similar t

  Mongolian gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus), a social rodent species, are widely distributed in the typical steppe, desert steppe and desert habitats of northern China, Mongolia, and Trans-Baikal region of Russia. In wild, the recorded maximum lifespan (apparent longevity) was 29.5 months for female M

  As GLO1 is the major detoxification system of reactive dicarbonyls, it is plausible that differences in production and activity of the enzyme influences AGE production and the development and/or modulation of diabetic neuropathy. Glo1 exists as a copy number variant (CNV) in many inbred strains mice

  Introduction Cherry tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is a commonly consumed fruit on a worldwide scale due to its characteristic flavor and high nutrition (Wei et al., 2016, Yu et al., 2014). Tomato is low in fat and calories, and is a rich natural source of nutrition and bioactive antioxidant co

  Emergent studies have recently shown that Sherpas living at high altitude have adaptations that make life at high altitude more compatible. Sherpas are known to have blood Hb concentrations about the same as lowlanders and Han populations [30]. This is different from what happens to lowlanders, Han

  Introduction As a fundamental metal-dependent hydrolytic enzyme, inorganic pyrophosphatase (PPase) exhibits a specific catalytic ability, in which one molecule of inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi) can be transformed into two orthophosphate (Pi) ions [1,2]. The process of transformation is extremely e

  To meet the requirement of ferroptosis-based therapy, a couple of small molecule drugs and nanomaterials were introduced to the design of ferroptosis inducers, separately. As we know, iron is a key regulator of ferroptosis. When small molecule drugs are employed to induce ferroptosis, the endogenous

  To examine the biochemical characteristics of FPPS in Drosophila, DmFPPS has been functionally expressed in E. coli. The protein displays properties similar to mammalian FPPS, with some notable differences, including the ability to efficiently couple the homologous substrate, homodimethylallyl dipho
