Regulation of hepatic LDL receptors by mTORC1 and PCSK9 in mice.
Individuals with type 2 diabetes have an increased risk of atherosclerosis. One factor underlying this is dyslipidemia, which in hyperinsulinemic subjects with early type 2 diabetes is typically characterized by increased VLDL secretion but normal LDL cholesterol levels, possibly reflecting enhanced catabolism of LDL via hepatic LDLRs. Recent studies have also suggested that hepatic insulin sig...
متن کاملP-119: Melatonin Protects Folliculogenesis through Up-Regulation of Estrogen Receptors in Mouse under Treatment with Nicotine
Background: Melatonin as the major hormone produced by the pineal gland has a significant role in mammalian reproduction. In this study the efficacy of melatonin coadministration with nicotine on mouse follicogenesis was investigated. Materials and Methods: A total of 32 Female adult NMRI mice were divided into four groups. The control group (n=8) received vehicle, group 2 (n=8) received nicoti...
متن کاملFunctional importance of estrogen receptors in the periodontium.
UNLABELLED The main functions of estrogen are associated with reproduction. However, estrogen has been shown to be of functional importance also in non-classic target organs. Previous studies, especially epidemiologic and clinical ones, have addressed estrogen's influence on periodontitis, suggesting that estrogen has a beneficial effect, but the biological mechanisms have not been identified. ...
متن کاملThe importance and regulation of hepatic glutathione.
Glutathione plays a key role in the liver in detoxification reactions and in regulating the thiol-disulfide status of the cell. Glutathione synthesis is regulated mainly by the availability of precursor cysteine and the concentration of glutathione itself which feeds back to regulate its own synthesis. Degradation of hepatic glutathione is principally regulated by the efflux of reduced and oxid...
متن کاملExpression of Estrogen and Progesterone Receptors in Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma
Background: Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), occurs mostly in women and sex hormones may play a role in the pathogenesis and clinical course. The objective of this study was to determine the status and prevalence of estrogen and progesterone receptors in PTC with regard to age, gender, tumor size and lymph node involvement. Methods: Immunohistochemical stains were performed on 92 tissue bl...
