  In the intestine, absorbed cholesterol can either be esterified by ACAT2 (Soat2) and packed into chylomicrons, transported back to the intestinal lumen by ABCG5/ABCG8, or it can be transported into HDL by ABCA1. ACAT2 is confined to enterocytes and hepatocytes and esterifies cholesterol for intracel

  We further verified the presence of CLIC1, CLIC4 and CLIC5 in purified mitochondria following protocols described earlier (Singh et al., 2012). As shown in Fig. 4, CLIC4 and CLIC5 were present in the ultra-pure mitochondrial fraction (M3). All the three fractions obtained from 30% (v/v) Percoll grad

  Results Discussion The nitric oxide-cyclic guanosine monophosphate pathway plays an important role in normal EF, and oral PDE-5Is were developed in the late 90s after the discovery that ED occurs when there is a problem with this pathway. Since then, several PDF-5Is with different pharmacokine

  The Liver X Receptor-α and -β (LXRs, NR1H3 and NR1H2, respectively) are members of the nuclear receptor superfamily that play a central role in controlling cholesterol homeostasis [9], [10]. In macrophages, LXRs can decrease the cellular sterol burden by inducing expression of the cholesterol efflux

  Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is considered a major health concern and is associated with extremely high rates of mortality in case of aortic rupture. The main pathophysiologic mechanisms leading to aortic dilation include the degradation of the extracellular matrix (ECM) components, such as colla

  We also observed reduced insulinotropic effects after intravenous administration of both GLP-1 and GIP with atropine, whereas no inhibition was observed by atropine of the direct effects of GLP-1 and GIP action on beta-cells in the islet experiments. This suggests that the reduction in circulating i

  T cell infiltration is an important predictive biomarker for the PD-1 blockade, and it is closely associated with a good prognosis. In our study, we found that T cells were low and exhausted within the tumor microenvironment and were distributed in the tumor margin. Anti-PD-1 treatment reduced PD-1

  Besides being an energy storing tissue, adipose tissue acts as an active endocrine organ that secretes a number of biologically active adipokines involved in multiple physiological processes such as inflammation and lipid and glucose metabolism, with direct and indirect effects on reproduction [15,1

  We note that there are slight qualitative differences among the similar time-optimal protocols. We attribute this to the challenging nature of our PDE and ODE state constrained optimization problem. While our optimization algorithm was able to converge to local optima in each case, it is likely that

  In the current study, although EP4 agonist was the most effective in relaxing corpus cavernosum, it did not affect the neuronally-mediated relaxation. On the other hand, both alprostadil and iloprost, which were less effective as direct relaxants, potentiated EFS-induced relaxation of rat corpus cav

  The second part of this study evaluated the role of CK1 in the eFABP4 cellular uptake in endothelial cells. By blocking CK1 expression using a specific siRNA, we corroborated that the presence of CK1 was fundamental for FABP4 cellular uptake and internalization in endothelial cells, thus decreased m

  In order to determine the physiological roles of WT (wild type) EWSR1, Dr. Lee's group established a conventional Ewsr1 KO mouse [38]. Since then, the Ewsr1 KO (−/−) mouse model has successfully been utilized to decipher many important in vivo roles of EWSR1 (Fig. 1). EWSR1 deficiency alters mi
