Altered desensitization and internalization patterns of rodent versus human glucose‐dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptors. An important drug discovery challenge

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose The gut hormone glucose‐dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) signals via the GIP receptor (GIPR), resulting in postprandial potentiation of glucose‐stimulated insulin secretion. The translation of results from rodent studies to human studies has been challenged by the unexpected effects of GIPR‐targeting compounds.

The path to the G protein‐coupled receptor structural landscape: Major milestones and future directions

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) play a crucial role in cell function by transducing signals from the extracellular environment to the inside of the cell. They mediate the effects of various stimuli, including hormones, neurotransmitters, ions, photons, food tastants and odorants, and are renowned drug targets.

Preclinical models for evaluating psychedelics in the treatment of major depressive disorder

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Psychedelic drugs have seen a resurgence in interest as a next generation of psychiatric medicines with potential as rapid‐acting antidepressants (RAADs). Despite promising early clinical trials, the mechanisms which underlie the effects of psychedelics are poorly understood.

Antibiotic‐induced decrease of bacterial load in guinea pig intestine reduces α2‐adrenoceptor expression and activity in peristaltic motor inhibition

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose The use of analgosedatives in critically ill patients carries the risk of impairing gastrointestinal (GI) propulsion and could thereby lead to sepsis. The gut microbiota can influence GI motility, but whether GI microbial dysbiosis modifies GI peristalsis impairment by analgosedative drugs has not yet been analysed. This question

Vitamin D deficiency induces erectile dysfunction: Role of superoxide and Slpi

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Epidemiological studies suggest a relationship between vitamin D deficiency and erectile dysfunction (ED). We hypothesized that vitamin D deficiency or vitamin D receptor (VDR) knockout causes ED and analysed the underlying molecular mechanisms.
