β‐Hydroxybutyrate reduces neuronal excitability via GIRK channels

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
β‐Hydroxybutyrate decreases neuronal excitability by activating GIRK channels through HCAR2 signaling, providing a cellular mechanism that may contribute to the antiseizure effects of the ketogenic diet. Abstract Objective The ketogenic diet is used to treat drug‐resistant epilepsy, yet the molecular mechanisms coupling metabolic state to seizure ...

P-Rex1 limits the agonist-induced internalization of GPCRs independently of its Rac-GEF activity

Cell Reports
Summary: The guanine-nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) P-Rex1 mediates G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling by activating the small GTPase Rac. We show here that P-Rex1 also controls GPCR trafficking.

A New Vista of Opportunity in Diabetes Management: Natural Product‐Based β‐cell Preservation

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Preserving functional β‐cells via natural products offers promising strategy for diabetes treatment. ABSTRACT A defining characteristic of diabetes is β‐cell failure, in which β‐cells cannot modulate insulin secretion to compensate for escalating insulin resistance, pushing forward disease development.

Screening and identification of novel peptides stimulating GLP‐1 secretion from plant proteins after simulated gastrointestinal digestion

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Effects of digestive products of quinoa, oat, barley, and mungbean proteins on GLP‐1 secretion are investigated using STC‐1 cell and animal experiments, and novel GLP‐1 secretion‐stimulating peptides are successfully identified by column chromatography and LC–MS/MS.

A systems and molecular analysis of G protein-mediated signalling [PDF]

The ability of cells to respond correctly to signals from their microenvironment is an essential prerequisite of life. Many external signals are detected through G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signalling pathways, which control all aspects of ...
