Mechanism of pure glucose-dependent insulinotropic activity of a novel imidazoline compound BL11282
(2008-05-01)
potentiation of insulin release by this peptide. The latter effect points to the importance of GLP-1 stimulated signal-transduction pathways for the insulinotropic activity of BL11282. Our results support the involvement of the cAMP-GEFII·Rim2 pathway in BL...
Ultrastructural studies of the blood-urine barrier in proteinuric states
(2010-04-30)
. Dendrin and plekhh2 decreased on day four when the animals had massive proteinuria. We concluded that a disturbed expression of nephrin in PAN rats, similar to our findings in MCNS, seems to be related to the appearance of proteinuria. Changes in plekhh2...
Mechanism of pathological angiogenesis in adipose tissue and tumor
(2009-09-18)
and further investigation of mechanism of angiogenesis in adipose tissue metabolism and cancer development. Multiple factors spatiotemporally regulate adipogenesis and angiogenesis. In a transgenic mouse model described in the first constituent paper, FOXC2...
Mass spectrometric investigation of intoxications with plant-derived psychoactive substances
(2009-05-08)
occurrence of psychoactive plant use in Sweden. Studies were done in attempt to elucidate the metabolic pattern of α- and b-asarone in humans. Cis(b)-2,4,5-trimethoxycinnamic acid was regarded to be the most abundant metabolite, evidence of a hydroxylated...

(2008-11-21)
The cytochrome P450 superfamily represents a very important group of
enzymes that are responsible for the metabolism of drugs as well as of

(2008-09-12)
treated ob/ob mice with 17beta-estradiol (E2) for 30 days and found a significant improvement in GT and insulin sensitivity. Concordant with above findings these effects of E2 were accompanied by the downregulation of lipogenic genes and the increased...
