Advanced Glycation End-Products and Their Receptor-Mediated Roles: Inflammation and Oxidative Stress
Glycation is a protein modification, which results in a change in a protein structure. Glycation is believed to be the etiology of various age-related diseases such as diabetes mellitus and Alz-heimer’s disease (AD). Activation of microglia and resident macrophages in the brain by glycated proteins with subsequent oxidative stress and cytokine release may be an important factor in the progressi...
متن کاملMolecular and Physiological Roles of Estrogen Receptor
Estrogen receptor (ER) has been shown to be involved in several cellular and metabolic pathways. In this study, we reviewed the literature for molecular and physiological roles of estrogen receptor in normal and pathological conditions. We discussed the expression of estrogen receptor in several tissues as well as the potential of using ERb agonists in treating proliferative hematological disor...
متن کاملBrain nicotinic acetylcholine receptors: native subtypes and their relevance.
Neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors comprise a heterogeneous class of cationic channels that is present throughout the nervous system. These channels are involved both in physiological functions (including cognition, reward, motor activity and analgesia) and in pathological conditions such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, some forms of epilepsy, depression, autism and schizop...
متن کاملPurification of Natural Plant Peroxidases and their Physiological Roles
The plant peroxidase superfamily comprises heme-containing glycoproteins that differ in their structure and catalytic properties. POX has been isolated and characterized from a large number of plant sources like fruits, leaves, tubers and grains, and the major source of commercially available peroxidase is horseradish roots. However, availability of POX with higher stability and different speci...
متن کاملMammary leptin synthesis, milk leptin and their putative physiological roles.
This paper reviews data on mammary leptin and leptin receptor gene expression as well as on blood and milk leptin levels during the pregnancy-lactation cycle in humans, rodents and ruminants, with the aim of better understanding milk leptin origin and functions. The few published papers report that leptin may be produced by different cell types in the mammary tissue, and may act as a paracrine ...
