Aromatase-deficient (ArKO) mice have reduced blood pressure and baroreflex sensitivity.
Aromatase-deficient (ArKO) mice are deficient in estrogens due to deletion of the aromatase gene. We hypothesized that there may be changes in the cardiovascular system of ArKO mice because of evidence linking estrogens with improved cardiovascular outcomes and the induction of the glucocorticoid-metabolizing enzyme, 11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 (11betaHSD2), gene in the kidney, w...
متن کاملLeptin activation of corticosterone production in hepatocytes may contribute to the reversal of obesity and hyperglycemia in leptin-deficient ob/ob mice.
Glucocorticoids have been implicated as pathophysiological mediators of obesity and insulin resistance and are regulated by 11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11beta-HSD1). This enzyme regenerates active corticosterone from inactive 11-keto forms. To assess the role of 11beta-HSD1-mediated synthesis of active corticosterone in leptin-related obesity and diabetes, we examined the periph...
متن کاملComparision of the effects of Leishmania Soluble Antigen (LSA) and Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on C57BL/6 Mice Macrophage Function
Background: Macrophages activation is the important anti-leishmania immune response. Different signals could affect macrophages development and functional activation. Objectives: In the present study, we compared the effect of Leishmania Soluble Antigen (LSA)and Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on peritoneal macrophage responses. Appropriate activation of macrophages depends on thesignals they receive ...
متن کاملUp-regulation of TLR2 and TLR4 in high mobility group Box1-stimulated macrophages in pulpitis patients
Objective(s): High Mobility Group Box1 (HMGB1) is a nonhistone, DNA-binding protein that serves a crucial role in regulating gene transcription and is involved in a variety of proinflammatory, extracellular activities. The aim of this study was to explore whether HMGB1 stimulation can up-regulate the expression of Toll-like Receptor 2 (TLR2) and Toll-like Receptor 4 (TLR4) on macrophages from p...
متن کاملSynthesis and Molecular Docking Studies of 2-arylideneindan-1,3-diones Derivatives as an Inhibitor of 17β-hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase Type 1
Due to the drawbacks of applying catalysts in the synthesis of α,β-unsaturated structure units and the importance of these materials, electrochemistry has been introduced as an efficient alternative.Therefore, herein a high-yield synthesis of 2-arylideneindan-1,3-diones is proposed. The procedure is carried out in propanol, using electrons as a green catalyst for generating propanol anion...
