CYTOCHROME P450 ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM-ASSOCIATED DEGRADATION (ERAD): THERAPEUTIC AND PATHOPHYSIOLOGICAL IMPLICATIONS

Cytochrome P450 endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD): therapeutic and pathophysiological implications

The hepatic endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-anchored cytochromes P450 (P450s) are mixed-function oxidases engaged in the biotransformation of physiologically relevant endobiotics as well as of myriad xenobiotics of therapeutic Cardio Machines and environmental relevance.P450 ER-content and hence function is regulated by their coordinated hemoprotein syn

Mechanisms involving Ang II and MAPK/ERK1/2 signaling pathways underlie cardiac and renal alterations during chronic undernutrition.

Several studies have correlated protein restriction associated with other nutritional deficiencies with the development of cardiovascular and renal diseases.The driving hypothesis for this study was that Ang II signaling pathways in the heart and kidney are affected by chronic protein, mineral and vitamin restriction.Wistar rats aged 90 days were f

Endocrine consequences of childhood obesity: a narrative review

Childhood obesity has emerged as a significant public health challenge, with profound consequences that negatively impact endocrine functions.Excess adiposity in children leads to dysregulation of various hormonal pathways, notably spoon insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia, the best-established endocrine changes in obesity.If insulin resistance

New information on the cranial and postcranial anatomy of the early synapsid Ianthodon schultzei (Sphenacomorpha: Sphenacodontia), and its evolutionary significance

Newly identified material belonging to the holotype Door Closer specimen of Ianthodon schultzei substantially increases our knowledge of this poorly known basal sphenacodont synapsid from the fossil site in Garnett, Kansas (Missourian, Late Pennsylvanian).The original description, based on a partial dermal skull roof, is augmented with information
