Investigation into the role of annexin 1 in the microcirculation of annexin 1 knockout mice [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
PhDGlucocorticoids are used therapeutically for their anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive actions. One of the ways they produce their potent effects is via regulation of the anti-inflammatory protein Annexin I (ANX-AI; 37 kDa protein).

Correction of the iron overload defect in beta-2-microglobulin knockout mice by lactoferrin abolishes their increased susceptibility to tuberculosis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
As a resident of early endosomal phagosomes, Mycobacterium tuberculosis is connected to the iron uptake system of the host macrophage. beta-2-microglobulin (beta2m) knockout (KO) mice are more susceptible to tuberculosis than wild-type mice, which is ...

Mu-opioid receptor knockout mice show diminished food-anticipatory activity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
We have previously suggested that during or prior to activation of anticipatory behaviour to a coming reward, mu-opioid receptors are activated. To test this hypothesis schedule induced food-anticipatory activity in mu-opioid receptor knockout mice was ...

The orexigenic effect of ghrelin is mediated through central activation of the endogenous cannabinoid system [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
INTRODUCTION: Ghrelin and cannabinoids stimulate appetite, this effect possibly being mediated by the activation of hypothalamic AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), a key enzyme in appetite and metabolism regulation. The cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1)

Loss of the actin remodeler Eps8 causes intestinal defects and improved metabolic status in mice. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
In a variety of organisms, including mammals, caloric restriction improves metabolic status and lowers the incidence of chronic-degenerative diseases, ultimately leading to increased lifespan.

Functional Genomics for the Identification of Modulators of Platelet-Dependent Thrombus Formation

open access: yesTH Open, 2018
Despite the absence of the genome in platelets, transcription profiling provides important insights into platelet function and can help clarify abnormalities in platelet disorders.

Prolactin delays hair regrowth in mice [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Mammalian hair growth is cyclic, with hair-producing follicles alternating between active (anagen) and quiescent (telogen) phases. The timing of hair cycles is advanced in prolactin receptor (PRLR) knockout mice, suggesting that prolactin has a role in ...

Erythropoiesis and Blood Pressure Are Regulated via AT1 Receptor by Distinctive Pathways. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) plays a central role in blood pressure regulation. Although clinical and experimental studies have suggested that inhibition of RAS is associated with progression of anemia, little evidence is available to support this ...

eNOS protects from atherosclerosis despite relevant superoxide production by the enzyme in apoE mice. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
All three nitric oxide synthase (NOS) isoforms are expressed in atherosclerotic plaques. NOS enzymes in general catalyse NO production. However, under conditions of substrate and cofactor deficiency, the enzyme directly catalyse superoxide formation ...

Knockout or Knock-in? A Truncated D2 Receptor Protein Is Expressed in the Brain of Functional D2 Receptor Knockout Mice

open access: yesNeuroSci, 2021
Null mice for the dopamine D2 receptor (D2R) have been instrumental in understanding the function of this protein. For our research, we obtained the functional D2R knockout mouse strain described initially in 1997.
