Pharmacogenomics of Major Depressive Disorder in Indigenous Amazonian Populations
Major depressive disorder is a highly prevalent psychological disorder worldwide and its main treatment is the use of Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors. However, few studies have demonstrated the relationship between the presence of genetic variants in pharmacogenes and the efficacy of these drugs, especially in populations with a unique genetic ...

Systemic aging fuels heart failure: Molecular mechanisms and therapeutic avenues
Abstract Systemic aging influences various physiological processes and contributes to structural and functional decline in cardiac tissue. These alterations include an increased incidence of left ventricular hypertrophy, a decline in left ventricular diastolic function, left atrial dilation, atrial fibrillation, myocardial fibrosis and cardiac ...

Physical and functional interaction between the dopamine transporter and the synaptic vesicle protein synaptogyrin-3. [PDF]
Uptake through the dopamine transporter (DAT) represents the primary mechanism used to terminate dopaminergic transmission in brain. Although it is well known that dopamine (DA) taken up by the transporter is used to replenish synaptic vesicle stores for

The pervasiveness of microplastic pollution poses a growing health risk, yet its long‐term metabolic consequences remain poorly defined. Here, we exposed mice to polyethylene terephthalate nanoparticle (NP) and combined histopathology, biochemistry, metabolomics, and metagenomics to resolve their interactions.

Renal nerve stimulation leads to the activation of the Na+/H+ exchanger isoform 3 via angiotensin II type I receptor [PDF]
Renal nerve stimulation at a low frequency (below 2 Hz) causes water and sodium reabsorption via alpha(1)-adrenoreceptor tubular activation, a process independent of changes in systemic blood pressure, renal blood flow, or glomerular filtration rate ...

The ketogenic diet alters microbiome‐metabolome profiles to improve West syndrome therapy
The ketogenic diet alleviates West syndrome by reshaping gut microbiota (increasing Bacteroides, Parabacteroides, and reducing Escherichia and Bifidobacterium), and modulating metabolites—including anticonvulsant lipids (e.g., capric acid), suppressed harmful lipids (e.g., 2‐methylbutyroylcarnitine), and amino acids and analogs (e.g., 3‐sulfinoalanine)—
