Aging and cigarette smoke: fueling the fire.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the fourth leading cause of mortality in North America, accounting for approximately 120,000 of 400,000 total cigarette smoke–related deaths in 2002. COPD preferentially affects elderly individuals, with those 65 or older having 2.6-fold and 35.4-fold higher disease rates than those in the 45 to 64 and 18 to 44 age groups, respectively. Age contri...
متن کاملHeart hormones fueling a fire in fat
Our view of how adipose tissue metabolism is regulated recently experienced a change in focus and breadth, meaning that some of the key controlling factors were not fully in the picture. The catecholamines of the sympathetic nervous system are well-known activators of β-adrenergic receptors in adipocytes to increase lipolysis. They also drive energy expenditure in brown adipose tissue and, impo...
متن کاملFueling the fire: Src family kinases drive inflammation
The Src family kinases (SFK) Hck, Fgr, and Lyn are the main SFKs in neutrophils and monocytes. In this issue, in a tour-de-force study of multiple disease models (autoantibody-induced arthritis [K/B×N serum-transfer], skin inflammation induced by systemic administration of collagen VII–specific antibodies, and reverse passive Arthus reaction), Kovacs et al. show that triple knockout (TKO) mice ...
متن کاملLactate muscles its way into consciousness: fueling brain activation.
THE ENERGETICS OF NEURON-ASTROCYTE interactions during brain activation is an exciting but controversial topic because the idea that lactate might be a significant supplemental fuel challenges the long-held consensus that brain is strictly dependent on glucose as its obligatory fuel. Thus a “cellular menu” comprised of “sweet and sour food for thought” could be envisaged in which the traditiona...
متن کاملStoking up BKCa channels in hemorrhagic shock: which channel subunit is really fueling the fire?
Large conductance calcium-activated potassium channels (BKCa) are abundantly expressed in smooth muscle cells (SMCs) lining the blood vessel wall. They are composed of an -subunit (Slo) and a modulatory 1-subunit, which serves to maintain the normal high voltageand Ca -sensitivity of the pore-forming -subunit (reviewed in1,2). In the vasculature, BKCa operate by limiting Ca entry and arterial c...
