Adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) acts via a highly selective receptor that is a member of the melanocortin receptor subfamily of type 1 G protein-coupled receptors. The ACTH receptor, also known as the melanocortin 2 receptor (MC2R), is unusual in that it is absolutely dependent on a small accessory protein, melanocortin receptor accessory protein (MRAP) for

Certaines propriétés des jeux à somme nulle sont étendues à différentes classes de jeux à deux joueurs à somme non nulle. Les définitions de ces classes sont basées sur différentes notions d'antagonisme. La notion de jeux presque strictement compétitifs, introduite par Aumann en 1961, est généralisée en gardant l'unicité du paiement d'équilibre de Nash.

Ovarian stimulation is an important step in the success rate of in vitro fertilization (IVF) allowing multiple follicular growth, several oocytes and consequently more embryos. The combination of GnRH-antagonists (GnRH-ant) and gonadotrophins is now available for clinical use and represent a valid alternative to classical protocol with GnRH agonist ...

Interactions of narcotic antagonists and antagonist-analgesics
Abstract In the rat the potent narcotic antagonist N-cyclopropylmethyl-6,14-endoethano-7α- (1-hydroxy-1-methylethyl)-tetrahydronororipavine (M5050, Reckitt), which itself lacks analgesic activity, resembled naloxone in its capacity to reverse the antinociceptive effects of morphine antagonist-analgesics. The nociceptive stimulus employed

Antagonists to the rescue [PDF]
Errors in protein folding represent the underlying basis for a large number of genetically inherited diseases. Point mutations, deletions, and in some cases, expanded sequences of amino acids give rise to protein products that fail to reach their native folded state.

Structural modifications within the active site of the ACTH molecule have produced analogs that inhibit the hormone sensitive adenylate cyclase system of bovine adrenal cortical plasma membranes. It is demonstrated that the tryptophan residue of the ACTH molecule is essential for stimulation of the enzyme.

Effect of the glucocorticoid receptor antagonist Org 34850 on fast and delayed feedback of corticosterone release [PDF]
We investigated the effect of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) antagonist Org 34850 on fast and delayed inhibition of corticosterone secretion in response to the synthetic glucocorticoid methylprednisolone (MPL).

Cannabinoid Receptor Involvement in Stress-Induced Cocaine Reinstatement: Potential Interaction with Noradrenergic Pathways [PDF]
This study examined the role of endocannabinoid signaling in stress-induced reinstatement of cocaine seeking and explored the interaction between noradrenergic and endocannabinergic systems in the process.
