Bitter Taste Receptors for Asthma Therapeutics. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Clinical management of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has primarily relied on the use of beta 2 adrenergic receptor agonists (bronchodilators) and corticosteroids, and more recently, monoclonal antibody therapies (biologics ...

Cross-Desensitization and Cointernalization of H1 and H2 Histamine Receptors Reveal New Insights into Histamine Signal Integration [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling does not result from sequential activation of a linear pathway of proteins/enzymes, but rather from complex interactions of multiple, branched signaling routes, ie, signaling networks.

The role of carcinine in signaling at the Drosophila photoreceptor synapse. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2007
The Drosophila melanogaster photoreceptor cell has long served as a model system for researchers focusing on how animal sensory neurons receive information from their surroundings and translate this information into chemical and electrical messages ...

Antidiabetic Properties of the Histamine H3 Receptor Protean Agonist Proxyfan [PDF]

open access: yesEndocrinology, 2011
Proxyfan is a histamine H3 receptor protean agonist that can produce a spectrum of pharmacological effects including agonist, inverse agonist, and antagonist. We have discovered that proxyfan (10 mg/kg orally) significantly improved glucose excursion after an ip glucose tolerance test in either lean or high-fat/cholesterol diet-induced obese mice.

Recent advances in vasoactive intestinal peptide physiology and pathophysiology: focus on the gastrointestinal system. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), a gut peptide hormone originally reported as a vasodilator in 1970, has multiple physiological and pathological effects on development, growth, and the control of neuronal, epithelial, and endocrine cell functions ...

Histamine inhibits adrenocortical cell proliferation but does not affect steroidogenesis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Histamine (HA) is a neurotransmitter synthesized in most mammalian tissues exclusively by histidine decarboxylase enzyme. Among the plethora of actions mediated by HA, the modulatory effects on steroidogenesis and proliferation in Leydig cells (LCs) have

Histamine H3 receptor inverse agonists/antagonists influence intra-regional cortical activity and inter-regional synchronization during resting state: an exploratory cortex-wide imaging study in mice

open access: yesMolecular Brain
The histaminergic system plays a key role in modulating learning and memory, wakefulness, and energy balance. Histamine H3 receptors constitutively inhibit the synthesis and release of histamine and other neurotransmitters. Therefore, H3 receptor inverse

Ameliorative Effect of a Hippocampal Metabotropic Glutamate– Receptor Agonist on Histamine H1 Receptor Antagonist–Induced Memory Deficit in Rats

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2010
This study was performed to investigate the ameliorative effects of metabotropic glutamate (mGlu)-receptor agonists on histamine H1 receptor antagonist–induced spatial memory deficit and the decrease in hippocampal theta activity in rats. Intraperitoneal
