ABSTRACT Background and Aims The development of innovative strategies to treat diabesity and its comorbidities is of major societal importance. The carotid bodies (CB), classically defined as O2 sensors, are also metabolic sensors whose dysfunction contributes to the genesis and progression of metabolic disturbances. Here, we tested the hypothesis that

ABSTRACT The set‐up and progression of dyskinesia induced by 3,4‐dihydroxyphenylalanine (L‐DOPA) are strongly linked to oxidative stress and neuroinflammation. The aim of this work was to study and characterize the effects of the hydroalcoholic extract of Brazilian red propolis (HERP) on L‐DOPA–induced dyskinesia (LID) in hemiparkinsonian rats injected

Abstract Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are diagnosed in 1/100 children worldwide, based on two core symptoms: deficits in social interaction and communication, and stereotyped behaviours. G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest family of cell‐surface receptors that transduce extracellular signals to convergent intracellular signalling ...

Microscopy and spectroscopy approaches to study GPCR structure and function
Abstract The GPCR signalling cascade is a key pathway responsible for the signal transduction of a multitude of physical and chemical stimuli, including light, odorants, neurotransmitters and hormones. Understanding the structural and functional properties of the GPCR cascade requires direct observation of signalling processes in high spatial and ...

Differential G protein activation by the long and short isoforms of the dopamine D2 receptor
Background and Purpose The dopamine D2 receptor is expressed as a short (D2S) and a long (D2L) isoform with 29 additional amino acids in the third intracellular loop. The D2S isoform shows higher presynaptic expression than the D2L isoform, and decreased D2S expression has recently been linked to an increased risk for schizophrenia.

ERNEST COST action overview on the (patho)physiology of GPCRs and orphan GPCRs in the nervous system
G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) are a large family of cell surface receptors that play a critical role in nervous system function by transmitting signals between cells and their environment. They are involved in many, if not all, nervous system processes, and their dysfunction has been linked to various neurological disorders representing important
