Abstract The β2AR is a prototypical G protein‐coupled receptor (GPCR) known to orchestrate different cellular responses by the stimulation of specific signaling pathways. The best‐established signaling pathways for the β2AR are the canonical Gs pathway and the alternative β arrestin 2 (βarr2) pathway.

Effects of diet and antihyperglycemic drugs on erectile dysfunction: A systematic review
Abstract Background Erectile dysfunction is recognized as one of the complications of diabetes mellitus. To date, a wide gap of knowledge is present on the efficacy of pharmacological treatments of diabetes mellitus on erectile function, acting not only through metabolic control. Similarly, the effects of different diet regimens on erectile dysfunction

Potential and limitations of PKA/ PKG inhibitors for platelet studies
Cyclic nucleotides (cAMP and cGMP) and corresponding protein kinases, protein kinase A (PKA) and protein kinase G (PKG), are the main intracellular mediators of endothelium-derived platelet inhibitors. Pharmacological PKA/PKG inhibitors are often used to

Background Thiamine triphosphate (ThTP) exists in most organisms and might play a role in cellular stress responses. In E. coli, ThTP is accumulated in response to amino acid starvation but the mechanism of its synthesis is still a matter of controversy.
