The study is devoted to the creation of a dataset protein structural motifs 3β-corner type. relevance and importance creating 3β-corners determined by fact that this structure can be an embryo or ready-made block in process folding, also act as independent object research field biology. contains 3β-corner-like structures are geometrically similar 3β-corners. consists 45,896 structures. For each...

Glycogen synthase kinase (GSK)-3β mediates amyloid-beta (Aβ) and oxidative stress-induced neurotoxicity in neurodegenerative disorders. Natural products with antioxidant activity, such as Sargassum (S.) oligocystum may modulate GSK-3β enzyme and protect against Aβ-induced neurotoxicity. Therefore, we aimed to assess the neuroprotective effects of a methanolic extract of S. oligocystum against A...

cannabis is one of the most banned drugs in the world. cannabinoid-induced dependence or withdrawal signs are indicated by the result of complex molecular mechanisms including upstream protein kinases (pks), such as an extracellular signal regulated kinase1/2 (erk1/2) and downstream glycogen synthase kinase-3β (gsk-3β), which lead to neuronal plasticity. in this study, we examined the protectiv...

Cadmium (Cd) is the most prevalent toxic metal present in livestock feed; therefore, the present study aimed to examine the ameliorative effects of grape seed extract (GSE) on cadmium chloride (CdCl2)‑induced testicular dysfunction of Wistar rats. Male adult Wistar rats (40 rats; n=10/group) were divided into four equal groups. Group one was used as a control, and was given ad libitum access to...

Abstract Study question Will acetate treatment ameliorate doxorubicin-induced testicular toxicity when used concomitantly? Summary answer Acetate ameliorated by modulating Nrf2/NFkB and apoptotic signaling. What is known already Doxorubicin an antineoplastic agent that effective in the management of several forms cancers. However, a major limitation this drug its toxicity. Studies have revealed...

The dried plant was extracted with dichloromethane and after defatting with hexane, transferred repeatedly on silica columns using dichloromethane-hexane and ethyl acetate-hexane as mobile phases. Finally the fractions were purified by high performance liquid chromatography using a Pack-Sil column and hexane: Ethyl acetate as mobile phase. The structures of the isolated compounds included: cycl...

lithium (li), a glycogen synthase kinase-3β (gsk-3β) inhibitor, has used to attenuate thecannabinoid-induced dependence/withdrawal signs, but molecular mechanisms related to this areunclear. recent studies indicate the involvement of upstream extracellular signal kinase1/2 (erk1/2)and downstream gsk-3β pathways in the development of cannabinoid-induced dependence. thisis mediated through cannab...

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) describes a set of disorders involving alterations to gastrointestinal physiology and mucosal immunity. Unravelling its complex pathophysiology is important since many IBD patients are refractory or suffer adverse side effects from current treatments. Isothiocyanates (ITCs), such as 6-(methylsulfinyl)hexyl ITC (6-MITC) in Wasabia japonica, have potential anti-in...
