  While the specific set of challenges associated with deorphanization and transforming each poorly characterized GPCR into a useful drug target will be unique, much can be learned by considering how these issues have been addressed for other receptors. One group of poorly characterized GPCRs that hav

  Targeting MCTs is likely to have dramatic effects on lactate-dependent metabolic symbiosis described in the previous paragraphs. A plethora of MCT inhibitors have been described, including α-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamate (CHC) [59], organomercurials [60], stilbene disulfonates [60], and other second-gene

  Gastrointestinal peptides and intestinal health Gastrointestinal peptides are intimately involved in the regulation of feeding behaviors, energy metabolism and bodyweight 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41. GPR120 has been demonstrated to induce secretion of two such peptides: GLP-1 and cholecystokinin (CCK)

  2022-06-14

  

  Both GPR109A and GPR81 are located on chromosome 12q24 [3] and mediate anti-lipolytic effects through coupling to Gi-type G proteins [17]. It is important to note that with the recent deorphanization of these receptors, there has been a recommendation to the International Union of Basic and Clinical

  Little is known about the endocrinological control of reproduction in polychaetes. In vertebrates, gonadal maturation is regulated by the hypothalamo-pituitary-gonadal axis. GnRH, GTHs, and steroid hormones are involved in this axis (see Okubo and Nagahama, 2008). In two polychaete species, Perinere

  In parallel, we were also preparing and evaluating other piperidine bioisosteres and modifications to – to further access additional novel intellectual property (IP) space. Modeling work suggested that 4-position homologated piperidines, as well as 3-position homologated azetidines overlapped favora

  2022-06-14

  

  One possible pathway summarizing the overall action involves NMDA receptor activation – Ca2+ influx – protein kinase A (PKA) activation – ERK phosphorylation and subsequent synaptic plasticity (Thomas and Huganir, 2004). A few studies have also shown modulation of synaptic glutamate transporters in

  2022-06-14

  

  The β-lactam compounds, including ceftriaxone (CEF), have shown to attenuate drug-seeking in several drugs of abuse including methamphetamine [31], cocaine [32,33], nicotine [34] and morphine [35]. Moreover, in our laboratory, we have shown that CEF can reduce chronic alcohol drinking via upregulati

  Nevertheless, in the brain, we found that trehalose phosphorylates AMPK, which is a metabolic sensor. AMPK is known to be transiently activated in muscle by acute exercise [21,22]. Bayod et al. also reported that AMPK was significantly activated in both the cerebral cortex and hippocampus in exercis

  2022-06-14

  

  The glucocorticoid-GR complex exerts wide-spread cellular effects through two distinct mechanisms categorized as genomic and non-genomic pathways [3,39]. Most non-genomic pathways originate from activation of mGR [40]. These actions of the GR appear to all play an important role in the regulation of

  Glucocorticoid receptor and metabolic syndrome GCs acting through the GR regulate key enzymes of glucose metabolism in the liver, skeletal muscle, adipose tissue and the pancreas. In the liver, GCs regulate the expression of major gluconeogenic enzymes such as phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, g

  Ghrelin and anti fungal balance To characterize the physiological role of ghrelin in energy homeostasis, ghsr−/− and ghrelin−/− mice were generated [33], [36], [41], [47]. Although ghrelin regulates the amplitude of episodic GH release, ghsr−/− mice were not dwarfs, and in fact appear identical

  Taken together, previous data suggest that ghrelin signaling is causally linked to alcohol use and may regulate alcohol seeking and consummatory behaviors [[66], [67], [68]]. As such, the ghrelin system may represent a therapeutic target for AUD. Here, we provide a narrative review of the existing l

  Most of the above mechanisms are implicated in attenuation of myocardial I/R injury. However, the role of GalR2 receptor activation in cardioprotection remains unclear because of the lack of receptor subtype selectivity of peptides G2 and G3. It has been shown that Ala5-galanin (2–11) (G4) has a hig
