Activation of peripheral NOP receptors reduces periorbital mechanical allodynia evoked by CGRP in mice

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Migraine is a neurovascular disorder largely mediated by calcitonin gene‐related peptide (CGRP). This study explores the role of the nociceptin/orphanin FQ (N/OFQ)–N/OFQ receptor (NOP) system in CGRP‐induced periorbital mechanical allodynia (PMA) in mice.

The potential for biased signalling in the P2Y receptor family of GPCRs

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
The purinergic receptor family is primarily activated by nucleotides, and contains members of both the G protein coupled‐receptor (GPCR) superfamily (P1 and P2Y) and ligand‐gated ion channels (P2X). The P2Y receptors are widely expressed in the human body, and given the ubiquitous nature of nucleotides, purinergic signalling is involved with a plethora

PDE4D and PDE3B orchestrate distinct cAMP microdomains in 3T3‐L1 adipocytes

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Basal conditions: •Ins/PDE3B lowers cytoplasmic cAMP (cyt‐cAMP) without affecting plasma membrane cAMP (pm‐cAMP). •Insulin decreases lipid droplet cAMP (LD‐cAMP) independent of PDE3B. •FGF1/PDE4D modestly reduces both cyt‐ and pm‐cAMP, while PDE4D alone can modulate LD‐cAMP. ISO stimulation: •Ins/PDE3B has minimal impact on cyt‐cAMP.

Impact of incretin analogues on lipid and lipoprotein metabolism in obesity and diabetes

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Incretin‐based therapies have gained momentum as a key strategy for reducing cardiovascular risk in individuals with obesity and/or type 2 diabetes (T2D). It remains unclear whether the cardiovascular benefits reflect a direct reduction in atherogenic lipoproteins—namely, low‐density lipoproteins (LDL), very low‐density lipoproteins (VLDL) and

Atrial natriuretic peptide counteracts aldosterone secretion by preventing acute angiotensin II‐induced cAMP signalling

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Aldosterone plays a key role in blood pressure and volume regulation. Enhanced aldosterone secretion contributes to cardiovascular and renal diseases. Therefore, inhibitors of aldosterone receptors and synthase are essential drugs for the treatment of hypertension and heart failure.
