Removal of cumulus cells around 20 h after the start of in vitro maturation improves the meiotic competence of porcine oocytes via reduction in cAMP and cGMP levels

The Journal of Reproduction and Development, 2019
We examined the effect of the timing of removing cumulus cells surrounding porcine oocytes from small follicles (SFs, < 3 mm in diameter) and medium follicles (MFs; 3–6 mm in diameter) on the meiotic and developmental competence of the oocytes ...

Malaria parasite cGMP-dependent protein kinase regulates blood stage merozoite secretory organelle discharge and egress. [PDF]

, 2013
The malaria parasite replicates within an intraerythrocytic parasitophorous vacuole (PV). Eventually, in a tightly regulated process called egress, proteins of the PV and intracellular merozoite surface are modified by an essential parasite serine ...

Spatiotemporal and functional characterisation of the Plasmodium falciparum cGMP-dependent protein kinase. [PDF]

, 2012
Signalling by 3'-5'-cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) exists in virtually all eukaryotes. In the apicomplexan parasite Plasmodium, the cGMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG) has previously been reported to play a critical role in four key stages of the ...

The effect of casein glycomacropeptide versus free synthetic amino acids for early treatment of phenylketonuria in a mice model.

PLoS ONE, 2022
IntroductionManagement of phenylketonuria (PKU) is mainly achieved through dietary control with limited intake of phenylalanine (Phe) from food, supplemented with low protein (LP) food and a mixture of free synthetic (FS) amino acids (AA) (FSAA).

Associations Between the Cyclic Guanosine Monophosphate Pathway and Cardiovascular Risk Factors: MESA

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2019
Background cGMP mediates numerous cardioprotective functions and is a potential therapeutic target for cardiovascular disease. Preclinical studies suggest that plasma cGMP is reflective of natriuretic peptide stimulation.

β3-Adrenoceptor redistribution impairs NO/cGMP/PDE2 signalling in failing cardiomyocytes

eLife, 2020
Cardiomyocyte β3-adrenoceptors (β3-ARs) coupled to soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC)-dependent production of the second messenger 3’,5’-cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) have been shown to protect from heart failure.

Nitric Oxide-Independent cGMP Efflux in the Striatum of Rats Exposed to Carbon Monoxide as Determined by Microdialysis

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2007
Extracellular cGMP in the striatum of rats exposed to 3000 ppm carbon monoxide (CO) or 8% O2 was decreased during the early period of exposure. Thereafter, extracellular cGMP in rats exposed to CO, but not 8% O2, was transiently increased. A nitric oxide
