Bacillus anthracis edema factor substrate specificity: evidence for new modes of action [PDF]

, 2012
Since the isolation of Bacillus anthracis exotoxins in the 1960s, the detrimental activity of edema factor (EF) was considered as adenylyl cyclase activity only.

Ischemic preconditioning attenuates portal venous plasma concentrations of purines following warm liver ischemia in man [PDF]

, 2005
Background/Aims: Degradation of adenine nucleotides to adenosine has been suggested to play a critical role in ischemic preconditioning (IPC). Thus, we questioned in patients undergoing partial hepatectomy whether (i) IPC will increase plasma purine ...

Bradykinin postconditioning protects rat hippocampal neurons after restoration of spontaneous circulation following cardiac arrest via activation of the AMPK/mTOR signaling pathway

Neural Regeneration Research, 2022
Bradykinin (BK) is an active component of the kallikrein-kinin system that has been shown to have cardioprotective and neuroprotective effects. We previously showed that BK postconditioning strongly protects rat hippocampal neurons upon restoration of ...

Immunosuppression via adenosine receptor activation by adenosine monophosphate released from apoptotic cells

eLife, 2014
Apoptosis is coupled with recruitment of macrophages for engulfment of dead cells, and with compensatory proliferation of neighboring cells. Yet, this death process is silent, and it does not cause inflammation.

Liver hydrolysate improves depressive-like behavior in olfactory bulbectomized mice: Involvement of hippocampal neurogenesis through the AMPK/BDNF/CREB pathway

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2020
Recently, we has reported that AMPK activator has antidepressant effect. Previous our study suggested that liver hydrolysate (LH) activated adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) in periphery.

Cyclic AMP signalling in pancreatic islets [PDF]

, 2010
Cyclic 3'5'AMP (cAMP) is an important physiological amplifier of glucose-induced insulin secretion by the pancreatic islet β-cell, where it is formed by the activity of adenylyl cyclases, which are stimulated by glucose, through elevation in ...
