Effects of Yam and Diosgenin on Calpain Systems in Skeletal Muscle of Ovariectomized Rats
Taiwanese Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2008 Objective: Yam or diosgenin (extracted from the root of wild yam) is traditionally used for hormone replacement in menopausal women. Calpains are crucially related to the degradation of myofibrillar proteins in skeletal muscle.

The calpain cascade. Mu-calpain activates m-calpain.
The Journal of biological chemistry, 1997 m-Calpain, which usually requires near-millimolar Ca2+ for activation, undergoes autolysis at 25 microM Ca2+ in the presence of mu-calpain. m-Calpain in itself exhibits no sign of autolysis around this Ca2+ concentration. Half-maximal rate of the reaction occurs at 30 microM Ca2+, showing that it is mu-calpain that catalyzes the limited proteolysis of ...

Molecular & Cellular Proteomics, 2016 Calpains are intracellular Ca2+-regulated cysteine proteases that are essential for various cellular functions. Mammalian conventional calpains (calpain-1 and calpain-2) modulate the structure and function of their substrates by limited proteolysis. Thus,

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1013-1028, April 2025.Abstract Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is characterized by a lack of a specific targeted treatment and a complex, partially unexplored pathophysiology. Common comorbidities associated with HFpEF are hypertension, atrial fibrillation, obesity and diabetes.

The Endothelial CXCR Family in Vascular Health and Disease
iNew Medicine, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Endothelial cells (ECs) form the dynamic interface between blood and tissue, serving as key regulators of vascular homeostasis, inflammation, and repair. Among the molecular systems governing endothelial behavior, the C‐X‐C motif chemokine receptor (CXCR) family—originally characterized in immunology for its roles in leukocyte trafficking and ...
