Involvement of adenylyl cyclase-cAMP system on bone metabolism by osteoblasts [PDF]
, 2005 Bone metabolism is mainly regulated by two functional cells, osteoblasts and osteoclasts; the former is responsible for bone formation, and the latter for bone resorption.

Bicarbonate Stimulated Adenylyl Cyclases [PDF]
IUBMB Life, 2004 AbstractBicarbonate ion is fundamental to the biology of all living organisms. HCO3‐ is vital to such diverse physiological processes as carbon fixation, cellular homeostasis, sperm maturation, and nucleotide synthesis. A defined subset of adenylyl cyclases identified in eukaryotes and prokaryotes are directly activated by HCO3‐.

Light‐Based Molecular Tools to Precisely Monitor and Operate β‐Adrenoceptors
Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT β‐Adrenoceptors are important G protein–coupled receptors involved in cardiovascular, metabolic, and neurological regulation. To study their function with high precision, light‐based molecular tools have been developed offering precise spatiotemporal control.

Effects of chlorogenic acid on carbachol-induced contraction of mouse urinary bladder
Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2018 Chlorogenic acid (CGA) is a polyphenol found in coffee and medicinal herbs such as Lonicera japonica. In this study, the effect of CGA-induced relaxation on carbachol (CCh)-induced contraction of mouse urinary bladder was investigated. CGA (30–300 μg/ml)

No evidence for oncogenic mutations in guanine nucleotide-binding proteins of human adrenocortical neoplasms [PDF]
, 1933 G-Proteins are membrane-bound heterotrimeric polypeptides that couple receptor signals to second messenger systems such as cAMP. Recently, point mutations at 2 codons of the highly preserved alpha-chain of Gs, the adenyl cyclase-stimulating G-protein ...

Luteinizing hormone receptor knockout mouse: What has it taught us?
Andrology, EarlyView.Abstract Luteinizing hormone (LH), along with its agonist choriongonadotropin (hCG) in humans, is the key hormone responsible for the tropic regulation of the gonadal function. LH and hCG act through their cognate receptor, the luteinizing hormone/choriongonadotropin receptor (LHCGR; more appropriately LHR in rodents lacking CG), located in the testis ...

Stimulatory effects of adenosine on prolactin secretion in the pituitary gland of the rat
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2002 We investigated the effects of adenosine on prolactin (PRL) secretion from rat anterior pituitaries incubated in vitro. The administration of 5-N-methylcarboxamidoadenosine (MECA), an analog agonist that preferentially activates A2 receptors, induced a ...

A homolog of the vertebrate pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide is both necessary and instructive for the rapid formation of associative memory in an invertebrate [PDF]
, 2010 Similar to other invertebrate and vertebrate animals, cAMP dependent signaling cascades are key components of long-term memory (LTM) formation in the snail Lymnaea stagnalis, an established experimental model for studying evolutionarily conserved ...

Andrology, EarlyView.Abstract Background The oxytocin receptor (OR) is a G‐protein‐coupled receptor recently identified in human spermatozoa, whose origin and role in sperm physiology remain unknown. Objectives In this study, using the pig as a model, we examine the presence of the OR in ejaculated spermatozoa through immunofluorescence and immunoblotting, and investigate ...
