Ginsenoside Re inhibits pacemaker potentials via adenosine triphosphate-sensitive potassium channels and the cyclic guanosine monophosphate/nitric oxide-dependent pathway in cultured interstitial cells of Cajal from mouse small intestine

Journal of Ginseng Research, 2015
Background: Ginseng belongs to the genus Panax. Its main active ingredients are the ginsenosides. Interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs) are the pacemaker cells of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract.

Enzymatic synthesis of mannosyl retinyl phosphate from retinyl phosphate and guanosine diphosphate mannose

Journal of Lipid Research, 1975
A study was conducted to determine whether retinyl phosphate would act as substrate for the enzymatic synthesis of mannosyl retinyl phosphate. Retinyl phosphate, prepared chemically, supported the growth of vitamin A-deficient rats at the same rate as ...

Recent advances in the structure, function and regulation of the volume‐regulated anion channels and their role in immunity

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend The volume‐regulated anion channel (VRAC), composed of leucine‐rich repeat‐containing 8 (LRRC8) proteins, serves both canonical and non‐canonical functions in vertebrate cells. The canonical function of this channel relates to its original description, which is homeostatic regulation of cell volume in response to hypotonic ...

Ligand bias and inverse agonism on 5‐HT2A receptor‐mediated modulation of G protein activity in post‐mortem human brain

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 182, Issue 14, Page 3320-3335, July 2025.
Abstract Background and Purpose Whereas biased agonism on the 5‐HT2A receptor has been ascribed to hallucinogenic properties of psychedelics, no information about biased inverse agonism on this receptor is available. In schizophrenia, increased 5‐HT2A receptor constitutive activity has been suggested, highlighting the therapeutic relevance of inverse ...

Detection and characterisation of NAD(P)H-diaphorase activity in Dictyostelium discoideum cells (Protozoa)

European Journal of Histochemistry, 2012
In Dictyostelium discoideum (D. discoideum), compounds generating nitric oxide (NO) inhibit its aggregation and differentiation without altering cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) production.

Graph‐based algorithms to dissect long‐distance water‐mediated H‐bond networks for conformational couplings in GPCRs

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 182, Issue 14, Page 3163-3177, July 2025.
Graph‐based algorithms that enable efficient computations of all H‐bonds present in structures in entire datasets allow us to dissect H‐bond fingerprints that characterize distinct GPCRs and the structures sampled along their activation. Abstract Changes in structure and dynamics elicited by agonist ligand binding at the extracellular side of G protein

ERNEST COST action overview on the (patho)physiology of GPCRs and orphan GPCRs in the nervous system

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 182, Issue 14, Page 3178-3210, July 2025.
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

Redirecting Intermediary Metabolism to Counteract Cyanide Poisoning

The FASEB Journal, Volume 39, Issue 12, 30 June 2025.
Cyanide is coined “the classic metabolic poison”; however, FDA‐approved cyanide chelators do not counteract cyanide's metabolic damage. Here, we review the mechanisms of cyanide toxicity, with a focus on intermediary metabolism. We present the theory that, within the innate plasticity of the metabolome, there may reside metabolic pathways that can ...
