Energy Transport and its Function in Heptahelical Transmembrane Proteins [PDF]
Photoproteins such as bacteriorhodopsin (bR) and rhodopsin (Rho) need to effectively dissipate photoinduced excess energy to prevent their damage. Another well-studied G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) containing 7 transmembrane (TM) helices is the B2 adrenergic receptor (B2AR), for which energy dissipation paths have been linked with allosteric ...

Micro-RNAs of the miR-15 family modulate cardiomyocyte survival and cardiac repair [PDF]
A family of microRNAs, called the miR-15 family, which includes miR-195, are shown to be up-regulated during pathological cardiac remodeling and repress the expression of mRNAs required for cell proliferation and survival, with consequent loss of ...

Towards the convergent therapeutic potential of GPCRs in autism spectrum disorders [PDF]
Changes in genetic and/or environmental factors to developing neural circuits and subsequent synaptic functions are known to be a causative underlying the varied socio-emotional behavioural patterns associated with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Seven transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) comprising the largest family of cell-surface ...

Use of Beta-Blockers as a First-Line Treatment for Primary Hypertension
Background: Even though beta-blockers had been used as a first-line therapy for hypertension, since the late 1960s, the Eighth Joint National Committee, JNC 8, decided to recommend them no longer.

Behavioural assays of the effects of antidepressant drug treatment on the functioning of catecholamine systems [PDF]
The effects of antidepressant drugs on central beta-adrenergic and dopaminergic receptor function were investigated using the anorexic effects of low doses of amphetamine and apomorphine as assays of beta-adrenergic function and presynaptic dopamine ...
