DEPHOSPHORYLATION OF THE BETA-2-ADRENERGIC RECEPTOR AND RHODOPSIN BY LATENT PHOSPHATASE-2 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
[[abstract]]Recent evidence suggests that the function of receptors coupled to guanine nucleotide regulatory proteins may be controlled by highly specific protein kinases, e.g. rhodopsin kinase and the beta-adrenergic receptor kinase.

Intermittent hypoxia increases lipid insulin resistance in healthy humans: A randomized crossover trial

open access: yesJournal of Sleep Research, Volume 34, Issue 2, April 2025.
This scheme illustrates the main results of the present study showing an increase in circulating free fatty acids (FFA) that are likely to be related to several mechanisms like decrease in FFA insulin sensitivity and increase in FFA production. Significant changes are labelled in white, and non‐significant or hypothesis are labelled in pale green ...

Innovations in Obesity Treatment: Beyond Adipose Tissue Dysfunction

open access: yesObesity Reviews, EarlyView.
Obesity drives chronic inflammation, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and cancer development through adipocyte dysfunction. Addressing this multisystemic disorder requires integrated strategies beyond diet and exercise, such as thermogenesis activation via menthol or capsinoids and appetite control through GLP‐1/GIP agonists and neuromodulation to ...

Unraveling the Mechanism of Impaired Osteogenic Differentiation in Osteoporosis: Insights from ADRB2 Gene Polymorphism

open access: yesCells
Osteoporosis is characterized by increased resorption and decreased bone formation; it is predominantly influenced by genetic factors. G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) play a vital role in bone homeostasis, and mutations in these genes are associated ...

Ion Channel Dysfunction and Therapeutic Targeting in Salivary Gland Disorders

open access: yesOral Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Salivary gland hypofunction and xerostomia represent major clinical complications of radiation therapy, autoimmune disorders such as Sjögren's disease, and inherited epithelial ion transport defects. This review integrates current knowledge on ion channel dysfunction as a central mechanistic driver of salivary gland pathology and ...

The effect of glucose on cardiac AMP-activated protein kinase [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) serves as an energy-sensing protein that is activated by a variety of metabolic stresses. Recent studies suggest that AMPK is also regulated by hormones and by nutrients such as glucose and fatty acids.

Impact of systemic diseases on periodontal remodeling: Mechanisms, mediators, and clinical relevance

open access: yesPeriodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Periodontal remodeling is a continuous, adaptive process essential for maintaining the structural and functional integrity of periodontal tissues. While external factors such as bacterial biofilm, excessive forces, and poor oral hygiene are recognized triggers of periodontal pathologies, they do not fully explain their persistent ...
