Melanopsin‐Mediated Post‐Illumination Pupillary Response in Idiopathic Rapid Eye Movement (REM) Sleep Behavior Disorder and Parkinson's Disease

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims To conduct a case–control study to investigate melanopsin‐mediated post‐illumination pupillary response (PIPR) in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), video‐polysomnography‐confirmed isolated/idiopathic rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (iRBD), and age‐matched healthy controls (HC). Methods PIPR was measured at 6 s after

Fenofibrate ameliorated atorvastatin and piperine-induced ROS mediated reproductive toxicity in male Wistar rats

Toxicology Reports
Atorvastatin and fenofibrate are well-known lipid-lowering drugs. Atorvastatin acts by reducing the production of cholesterol through the inhibition of the 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl-coenzyme A reductase (HMG Co-A reductase) enzyme, whereas fenofibrate ...

Novel reference gene microseminoprotein‐beta based prostate cancer antigen 3 urine test: Enhanced diagnostic performance for prostate cancer and feasibility of non‐digital rectal examination urine sampling

UroPrecision, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The diagnosis of prostate cancer (PCa) is limited by low specificity and invasiveness. This study aims to establish a highly accurate, noninvasive reverse transcription‐quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT‐qPCR)‐based urinary prostate cancer antigen 3 (PCA3) assay system and explore the feasibility of using first‐morning urine

Mechanism of inhibitory effect of atorvastatin on resistin expression induced by tumor necrosis factor-α in macrophages

Journal of Biomedical Science, 2009
Atorvastatin has been shown to reduce resistin expression in macrophages after pro-inflammatory stimulation. However, the mechanism of reducing resistin expression by atorvastatin is not known. Therefore, we sought to investigate the molecular mechanisms

Effects of atorvastatin and simvastatin on atrial plateau currents

, 2007
Recent evidence has shown that the inhibitors of the 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase (statins) might exert antiarrhythmic effects both in experimental models and in humans.

Identification of drug repurposing candidates for the treatment of polycystic kidney disease

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a leading cause of end‐stage renal disease with limited treatment options. Drug repurposing offers a promising strategy to find effective treatments. Experimental Approach We identified birinapant, bardoxolone methyl and salicylic acid as repurposing candidates for ADPKD and
