The role of inhibitory G proteins and regulators of G protein signaling in the in vivo control of heart rate and predisposition to cardiac arrhythmias [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Inhibitory heterotrimeric G proteins and the control of heart rate. The activation of cell signaling pathways involving inhibitory heterotrimeric G proteins acts to slow the heart rate via modulation of ion channels.

Ovol2, a zinc finger transcription factor, is dispensable for spermatogenesis in mice

open access: yesReproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2019
Ovol2, a mouse homolog of Drosophila ovo, was identified as a zinc finger transcription factor predominantly expressed in testis. However, the function of Ovol2 in postnatal male germ cell development remains enigmatic. Here, we firstly examined the mRNA

The NADPH Oxidase Isoform 1 Contributes to Angiotensin II-Mediated DNA Damage in the Kidney

open access: yesAntioxidants, 2020
In higher concentrations, the blood pressure regulating hormone angiotensin II leads to vasoconstriction, hypertension, and oxidative stress by activating NADPH oxidases which are a major enzymatic source of reactive oxygen species (ROS).

Selenoprotein F Knockout Caused Glucose Metabolism Disorder in Young Mice by Disrupting Redox Homeostasis

open access: yesAntioxidants, 2022
Selenoprotein F (SELENOF) might play an important role in maintaining human health since an increasing number of studies have linked SELENOF deficiency to various pathologies such as cancer and neurodegeneration.

Lack of Inducible Nitric Oxide Synthase Prevents Lipid-Induced Skeletal Muscle Insulin Resistance Without Attenuating Cytokine Level

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2011
.: We examined whether deletion of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) could prevent lipid infusion-induced insulin resistance in iNOS-knockout and wild-type mice with the in vivo euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp technique. Plasma NO metabolites were

Pdgfrα-Cre mediated knockout of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor protects mice from high-fat diet induced obesity and hepatic steatosis.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) agonists such as dioxin have been associated with obesity and the development of diabetes. Whole-body Ahr knockout mice on high-fat diet (HFD) have been shown to resist obesity and hepatic steatosis.

Knockout of the 15 kDa selenoprotein protects against chemically-induced aberrant crypt formation in mice. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Evidence suggests that selenium has cancer preventive properties that are largely mediated through selenoproteins. Our previous observations demonstrated that targeted down-regulation of the 15 kDa selenoprotein (Sep15) in murine colon cancer cells ...

The actin binding proteins cortactin and HS1 are dispensable for platelet actin nodule and megakaryocyte podosome formation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
A dynamic, properly organised actin cytoskeleton is critical for the production and haemostatic function of platelets. The Wiskott Aldrich Syndrome protein (WASp) and Actin-Related Proteins 2 & 3 Complex (Arp2/3 complex) are critical mediators of ...

Double Deletion of Angiotensin II Type 2 and Mas Receptors Accelerates Aging‐Related Muscle Weakness in Male Mice

open access: yesJournal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2021
Background The activation of AT2 (angiotensin II type 2 receptor ) and Mas receptor by angiotensin II and angiotensin‐(1‐7), respectively, is the primary process that counteracts activation of the canonical renin‐angiotensin system (RAS).
