Adiponectin promotes AMPA receptor trafficking and enhances excitatory synaptic transmission at hippocampal synapses via AMP‐activated protein kinase signalling

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Peripherally derived adiponectin crosses the blood–brain barrier and targets severa0l brain regions. Adiponectin receptors are highly expressed in the hippocampus, and play a pro‐cognitive role as adiponectin markedly influences the functioning of hippocampal synapses.

Modeling of an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle

, 2016
Os veículos subaquáticos autónomos (Autonomous Underwater Vehicles – AUV’s) têm múltiplas aplicações militares, comerciais e para investigação científica. A grande vantagem destes veículos advém da sua independência, sendo que operam sem a necessidade de supervisão humana. No entanto esta capacidade implica que os sistemas de navegação, guia e controlo

Signal detection and characterisation of a novel drug–drug interaction between methadone and a synthetic cannabinoid receptor agonist

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Little is known about how synthetic cannabinoid receptor agonist (SCRA) co‐use with other psychoactive substances may exacerbate risk of death. This study aimed to characterise the polypharmacy of deaths where SCRAs were detected at post‐mortem, investigate the cardiotoxicity of SCRAs and probe their inhibition of human ether‐a ...

ALOX15 mediates thrombin‐induced myristoylation, trafficking, and interaction of protease‐activated receptors, leading to platelet activation and hemostasis

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The role of PARs in platelet function is fairly known; however, the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. We report that thrombin myristoylates PAR4 in mouse platelets and PAR1 and PAR4 in human platelets, facilitating their membrane transport and interaction, leading to PAR3/4 heterodimers in mice and PAR1/4 heterodimers in humans.

Trans‐resveratrol alleviates inflammation and improves skin barrier function via aryl hydrocarbon receptor pathway in human reconstructed epidermis

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.
In a cytokine‐challenged human epidermal model, trans‐resveratrol reduces inflammation (IL‐1α) and oxidative stress markers (CYP1A1, CYP1B1), while modulating the expression of barrier‐related genes (LOR, OCLN) and differentiation‐associated CASP14. This supports its role as a multifunctional active for sensitive and compromised skin.

Prospects of multipurpose biomonitoring for fisheries assessment based on environmental nucleic acids

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Methods using environmental nucleic acids have become highly effective for monitoring aquatic biodiversity, with an array of suitable use cases, including metrics for fisheries assessment. Traditional methods for assessing fish populations often rely on invasive techniques with limited spatial and temporal coverage.

Metabolic stimulation improves bioenergetics and haematologic indices of circulating erythrocytes from sickle cell mice

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Metabolic stimulation improves bioenergetics, redox state, hydration and hematologic indices of circulating erythrocytes from sickle cell mice. Retained mitochondria in circulating RBCs from sickle mice are a source of RBC ATP as mitochondria function (ETC, electron transport chain) inhibitors [rotenone, a mitochondrial complex I

Sex‐specific metabolic responses to glucagon receptor agonism and modulation of the FGF21‐glucagon axis in female mice

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Therapies targeting the glucagon receptor are being explored for obesity treatment, yet most preclinical studies remain male biased. In this study, Merrild and Johansen et al. show that in diet‐induced obese wild‐type mice a long‐acting glucagon analogue (LA‐Gcg) elicits sexually dimorphic effects on weight loss, food intake ...

Δ9 Tetrahydrocannabinol and cannabis extracts differentially improve adipoinsular dysfunction in diet‐induced obesity

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend THC and extract administered to diet‐induced obese mice reduced body weight and fat storage. Extract, but not THC, improved glucose clearance by a mechanism that may include restoring adipoinsular function. Abstract Diet‐induced obesity (DIO) is associated with dysregulated adipoinsular axis and endocannabinoid system (eCBS ...
