Complex effects of rexinoids on ligand dependent activation or inhibition of the xenobiotic receptor, CAR

open access: yesNuclear Receptor, 2003
BackgroundCAR/RXR heterodimers bind a variety of hormone response elements and activate transcription in the absence of added ligands. This constitutive activity of murine CAR can be inhibited by the inverse agonist ligand androstanol or increased by the

Bile acid homeostasis controls CAR signaling pathways in mouse testis through FXRalpha

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Bile acids (BAs) are molecules with endocrine activities controlling several physiological functions such as immunity, glucose homeostasis, testicular physiology and male fertility.

A concentration addition model for the activation of the constitutive androstane receptor by xenobiotic mixtures.

open access: yesToxicological Sciences, 2009
The effects of contaminants are typically studied in individual exposures; however, environmental exposures are rarely from a single contaminant. Therefore, the study of chemical mixtures is important in determining the effects of xenobiotics.

Assessment of the Potential Biological Activity of Low Molecular Weight Metabolites of Freshwater Macrophytes with QSAR

open access: yesScientifica, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016
The paper focuses on the assessment of the spectrum of biological activities (antineoplastic, anti‐inflammatory, antifungal, and antibacterial) with PASS (Prediction of Activity Spectra for Substances) for the major components of three macrophytes widespread in the Holarctic species of freshwater, emergent macrophyte with floating leaves, Nuphar lutea (

The Influence of Standardized Valeriana officinalis Extract on the CYP3A1 Gene Expression by Nuclear Receptors in In Vivo Model

open access: yesBioMed Research International, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
Valeriana officinalis is one of the most popular medicinal plants commonly used as a sedative and sleep aid. It is suggested that its pharmacologically active compounds derived from the root may modulate the CYP3A4 gene expression by activation of pregnane X receptor (PXR) or constitutive androstane receptor (CAR) and lead to pharmacokinetic herb‐drug ...

Antibacterial activity of deer musk and Ziziphus spina-christi against carbapebem resis-tant gram negative bacteria isolated from patients with burns and wounds [PDF]

open access: yes
Bacteria were isolated from 250 specimens obtained from patients attending the Plastic Reconstructive and Burn Surgery Hospital in the Sulaymaniyah (Kurdistan region) and the burn and wound care units of the Azadi Teaching Hospital (Kirkuk), Iraq.

The environmental estrogen, nonylphenol, activates the constitutive androstane receptor.

open access: yesToxicological Sciences, 2007
Nonylphenol (NP) and its parent compounds, the nonylphenol ethoxylates are some of the most prevalent chemicals found in U.S. waterways. NP is also resistant to biodegradation and is a known environmental estrogen, which makes NP a chemical of concern ...

Antagonist- and inverse agonist-driven interactions of the vitamin D receptor and the constitutive androstane receptor with corepressor protein.

open access: yesMolecular Endocrinology, 2005
Ligand-dependent signal transduction by nuclear receptors (NRs) includes dynamic exchanges of coactivator (CoA) and corepressor (CoR) proteins. Here we focused on the structural determinants of the antagonist- and inverse agonist-enhanced interaction of ...

Characterization of activating signal cointegrator-2 as a novel transcriptional coactivator of the xenobiotic nuclear receptor constitutive androstane receptor.

open access: yesMolecular Endocrinology, 2005
Activating signal cointegrator-2 (ASC-2) is a recently isolated transcriptional coactivator protein for a variety of different transcription factors, including many members of the nuclear receptor superfamily.

NONSTEROIDAL ANTIRHEUMATICS AND HYPERTENSION [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Nesteroidni antireumatici (NSAR) skupina su lijekova koji se najčešće rabe u kliničkoj medicini, čine 4–9% svih propisanih lijekova, a bolesnici koji ih uzimaju izloženi su mogućim nuspojavama.
