  2024-08-03

  

  The gene SRD5A2 encodes the 5-α-reductase enzyme, which converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone. Although dihydrotestosterone levels are considerably lower than testosterone, dihydrotestosterone has a five-fold stronger binding capacity to the androgen receptor and, thereby, a considerably mo

  Funding Introduction The interest in the effects of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) in the aquatic environment continues to increase over the past decade, specifically those that act on steroidogenic pathways. EDCs that include synthetic androgenic and estrogenic compounds can severely a

  Animals Female Sprague Dawley (SD) rats, aged 3 months with body weight between 180-210 g were housed in cages and acclimatized to standardized lab conditions (temperature 23 ± 2°C, humidity 50 ± 5% and 12 h light-dark cycles). The rats were fed with standard rodent food pellet (Harlan Diet, Ross

  The Irbesartan Diabetic Nephropathy Trial enrolled patients with type 2 diabetes, proteinuria of at least 0.9 g/24 h, BP >135/85 mmHg and moderate kidney impairment (creatinine 88 to 265 µmol/L in women or 106 to 265 µmol/L in men). Patients were randomized to receive irbesartan (titrated from 75 to

  2024-08-02

  

  Further validation for a role in 12/15-LOX pathway in mediating adipocyte function comes from studies revealing a regulatory role of lipocalin-2 on 12/15-LOX activity. Lipocalin-2, a glycoprotein member of the lipocalin superfamily, is a novel abundant adipokine implicated in obesity-mediated inflam

  In the current study, adiponectin receptors expressions were detected in both cell lines. AdipoR2 showed equal expression levels, whereas AdipoR1 possessed different expression levels in both cell lines. There was a significant increase in the AdipoR1 mRNA levels in cell lines according to AdipoR2 m

  New AMPK activators Fenofibrate is a drug of the fibrate class used for the treatment of dyslipidemia [53] but is also an agent that could alleviate DN-induced alterations through AMPK activation (Fig. 2). Streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats treated with fenofibrate improved in not only renal fu

  Our previous work fails to show any maternal effect with blockade of 5-HT2A receptor, as acute and repeated treatment of MDL100907 does not alter maternal behavior at the behaviorally active doses (Chen et al., 2014). In the present study, MDL100907 pretreatment attenuated the maternal disruptive ef

  Despite functional studies demonstrating the role of 5-HT in ureteral contractility, the source of endogenous 5-HT in the ureter is unclear. Since 5-HT-containing enterochromaffin cells, which are present in the gastrointestinal tract, could not be found in the ureter (Nocito et al., 2007, Ripoche,

  Whereas more research is needed to identify the precise mechanism by which FIN exerts its antidyskinetic effect, the Chrysin that it can negatively modulate dopaminergic transmission is also supported by our previous findings. Indeed, we have previously shown that FIN completely reversed the behavi

  The benzimidazole group seems to be a key feature for the excellent anti-tumor activity of galeterone (159), which motivated the synthesis of new steroidal inhibitors containing N-heterocyclic groups structurally related to benzimidazole. Thus, several 1H- and 2H-indazole derivatives of dehydroepian
