othalamic tissue, reducing neuronal AMPK activity. As well as in response to leptin, in the present study, we demonstrated that IL-6 alone reduced AMPK phosphorylation in the hypothalamus of rats.…
roteins are indeed promising vaccine candidates. MCR_0076, Protective Moraxella catarrhalis Antigens the plug domain of TonB-dependent receptor, is situated within the beta-barrel structure and appears to be more conserved than…
ed between 15 and 47 nmol N L21 d21. There was no obvious trend in nitrifying activity between coastal and open-ocean stations. Ammonia oxidation was generally confined to the upper…
fibroblasts has revealed a variety of roles for these cytokines in the regulation of the fibrotic process, such as mitogenic activity, stimulation of extracellular matrix and alpha-smooth muscle actin gene…
p2 in pancreatic beta-cells. The level of ucp2 mRNA was measured in liver from SirT1-null and normal mice but no difference in abundance was detected. Western blots indicated that no…
Escherichia coli. The reduced form of CTA1 is initially absent in this recombinant toxin, so it was possible to clearly detect the reduction of the CTA1/CTA2 disulfide bond which occurs…
unity and host defense. In the present study, we show that punicic acid, a naturally occurring fatty acid present in the diet of humans, was able to inhibit TNFa-induced priming…

ns, excessive amounts of ROS induced by Cd can modify proteins, lipids and DNA, alter their functions, and activate related signaling pathways. For example, Cd activates the MAPK pathway by…
hrough a cryptic GAG binding site located between residues 10936. Consistent with this we report the increased binding affinity of 101L-moPrP for heparin and the preferential binding of a 22kDa…
