  2022-01-10

  

  Lactate-induced GPR81 activation was confirmed with a fluorimetric imaging plate reader (FLIPR) assay, in which lactate induced a [Ca2+] flux in CHO cells stably expressing Gqi5 and HA-GPR81 but not vector control (Fig. 1C). The EC50 of lactate in the FLIPR assay was 4.3±0.73mM, a value well within

  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

  Introduction Although G-protein-coupled receptor 55 (GPR55) was considered a cannabinoid receptor, it differs phylogenetically from cannabinoid type 1 (CB1) and type 2 (CB2) receptors as it lacks the classic cannabinoid-binding pocket (Baker et al., 2006). GPR55 is sensitive to an array of cannabin

  Previously, we reported that the inhibition of PKC-ζ and PKC-ε activity in hypertrophic adipocytes had deleterious effects on EPA-induced GPR120-mediated VEGF-A production [12]. However, the activation of PKC-θ, -ζ and -λ can also enhance the phosphorylation of IKK and p65, and facilitate the transl

  2022-01-10

  

  Recently, a G-protein-coupled receptor, GPR109a, was identified as a molecular target for niacin. Following this breakthrough, our group initiated a drug discovery program focused on the development of a high affinity ‘flush-free’ niacin-like agonist. Previously, we reported on the identification of

  2022-01-10

  

  Rapid action of E2 on GnRH neurons has been known for some time. E2 hyperpolarizes guinea pig GnRH neurons, alters cAMP production in GT1-cells and stimulates or inhibits [Ca2+]i oscillations within 15 min (Lagrange et al., 1995; Navarro et al., 2003; Temple et al., 2004; Romanò et al., 2008). Impor

  2022-01-07

  

  The need for an ‘inflammatory risk profile’ was recently discussed by several investigators. The present study is all the more significant in that it shows that a phenomenon that is influenced by various atherosclerotic risk factors and acute phase proteins is, indeed, associated with a less favora

  A myriad of receptors in WM To complicate the picture, WM glia express numerous non-glutamatergic neurotransmitter receptors, a fact that is often underappreciated when considering pathophysiology. When examined in isolated optic nerve, a central WM tract completely devoid of neuronal synapses, r

  Conclusions Temporally-controlled disruption of Gcgr reveals a lack meaningful contribution to the improvement of glycemic control in insulinopenic conditions attributable to the intrinsic loss of GCGR signaling. On the other hand, these data highlight the importance of compensatory systems, incl

  2022-01-07

  

  Despite potent biological actions, the native hormone undergoes degradation by the enzyme dipeptidylpeptidase-IV (DPP-IV) [17] and is rapidly cleared from the bloodstream by renal filtration [18]. One such approach to prolong the biological half-life of GIP is through conjugation with a polyethylene

  The usefulness of GIP-R antagonism for the treatment of obesity-diabetes has been revealed in numerous studies employing knockout or chemical blockade of GIP-R signalling.*88, 89, *90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, *97 For example, sub-chronic daily administration of (Pro3)GIP to ob/ob mice results in sig

  However, ghrelin has a short half-life of 15–20 min, because it is a natural peptide containing 28-amino acids, its clinical usefulness as a therapeutic agent may be limited (Mosińska et al., 2017; Vestergaard et al., 2007). Hence, many efforts have been made to elucidate the smallest segment of ghr

  Liver and muscle isozymes have been found in vertebrate tissues [2], [5], [6]. The liver FBPase is recognized as a regulatory enzyme of gluconeogenesis. The muscle isozyme participates in the glycogen synthesis from lactate and in the regulation of glycolysis [7], [8], [9]. The basic difference betw

  Macrocycle was synthesized as described in , . Under SAr conditions, 2-chloronicotinonitrile was heated with -butyl 5-aminopentanoate in refluxing ethanol (). The resulting aminopyridine was treated with mesyl chloride and the nitrile was subsequently reduced to afford amine . Chloroaminopyrimidine
