A hepatic enigma: Pediatric presentation of primary biliary cholangitis

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is a chronic autoimmune condition characterized by destruction of intrahepatic bile ducts, leading to fibrosis and cirrhosis of the liver. It is an extremely rare pediatric disease with very few pediatric cases reported to date. Here, we report the case of a 14‐year‐old female who presented with elevated liver

EROD and MROD as Markers of Cytochrome P450 1A Activities in Hepatic Microsomes from Entire and Castrated Male Pigs

Sensors, 2009
In the present study, we characterized the kinetic parameters of 7-ethoxy-resorufin O-deethylation (EROD) and 7-methoxyresorufin O-demethylation (MROD) in hepatic microsomes from entire and castrated male pigs.

Anticancer potential of berberine: Molecular pathways and current clinical trial perspectives

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Cancer is constantly rising mortality rates due to its late prognosis, poor management, and expensive treatment. Multi‐sectoral approaches for cancer management include hygienic practices, synthetic drug exploitation, radiation therapy, and diet modifications.

Radiation inactivation analysis of acyl-CoA:retinol acyltransferase and lecithin:retinol acyltransferase in rat liver

Journal of Lipid Research, 1993
Microsomes from liver and several other tissues esterify retinol through both fatty acyl-CoA-dependent and -independent reactions. Two activities, acyl-CoA:retinol acyltransferase (ARAT) and lecithin:retinol acyltransferase (LRAT) activities, have been ...

Small‐Molecule Kinase Inhibitors Modulating Circadian Rhythms

Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The circadian clock mechanism generates 24‐h rhythms crucial for regulating various physiological processes, and its dysregulation has been implicated in numerous diseases. In cells, the circadian clock operates through a transcriptional‐translational feedback loop, where phosphorylation plays a pivotal role in maintaining accurate circadian ...

Redefining CHI3L1: Therapeutic Opportunities at the Crossroads of Immune Suppression and Disease Progression

Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chitinase‐3‐like‐1 (CHI3L1, also known as YKL‐40) has been recognized as a biomarker of inflammation and tissue remodeling and has now emerged as a pseudoenzymatic immune checkpoint. Recent structural, immunological, and translational studies redefine it as an active regulator of immune suppression rather than a passive disease marker. Despite

Hepatic acylcoenzyme A: cholesterol acyltransferase activity during diet-induced hypercholesterolemia in cynomolgus monkeys.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1981
Acylcoenzyme A: cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) activity was studied in hepatic microsomes of cynomolgus monkeys fed either commercial chow or an atherogenic diet of high cholesterol and saturated fat content.

Advancing Therapies for Mycobacterial Diseases: From Small Molecules to Host‐Directed Strategies

Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The global burden of multidrug‐resistant tuberculosis (MDR‐TB) and the rising incidence of nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infections highlight the urgent need for innovative therapeutic strategies. Current treatments are prolonged, toxic, and increasingly compromised by resistance and limited diagnostic capacity.

Clofibric Acid Increases the Formation of Oleic Acid in Endoplasmic Reticulum of the Liver of Rats

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2011
.: The effects of 2-(4-chlorophenoxy)-2-methylpropionic acid (clofibric acid) on the formation of oleic acid (18:1) from stearic acid (18:0) and utilization of the 18:1 formed for phosphatidylcholine (PC) formation in endoplasmic reticulum in the liver ...

Codeine and Metabolite Concentrations in the Breastfed Neonate

Pediatric Anesthesia, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Analgesic effect from codeine is from its metabolite, morphine. Morphine is formed by the O‐demethylation of codeine and that enzyme is controlled by the cytochrome P450 2D6. More than 60 alleles in the CYP2D6 gene have been identified. This spectrum of polymorphism can be categorized into four groups: poor (PM), intermediate (IM), normal (NM),
