Impairment of exocytotic transmitter release by decynium-22 through an inhibition of ion channels
Introduction: In addition to members of the family of Na+/Cl− dependent monoamine transporters, organic cation transporters (OCTs), in particular OCT3, as well as the plasma membrane monoamine transporter (PMAT) may contribute to neuronal reuptake of ...

Carrier-Mediated and Energy-Dependent Uptake and Efflux of Deoxynivalenol in Mammalian Cells
Deoxynivalenol (DON) is one of the most abundant mycotoxins and exerts many adverse effects on humans and animals. To date, the transporting mechanism of DON in mammalian cells remains unclear. In this study, the parallel artificial membrane permeability

Ischemia/Reperfusion-Inducible Protein Modulates the Function of Organic Cation Transporter 1 and Multidrug and Toxin Extrusion 1 [PDF]
The recently identified ischemia/reperfusion-inducible protein (IRIP) has been reported to negatively modulate the activities of several transporters in cell culture systems. The goal of this study is to determine whether IRIP regulates the activities of OCT1 and MATE1, and hence the disposition in vivo of their substrate metformin, a therapeutic drug ...

How Water's Properties Are Encoded in Its Molecular Structure and Energies. [PDF]
How are water's material properties encoded within the structure of the water molecule? This is pertinent to understanding Earth's living systems, its materials, its geochemistry and geophysics, and a broad spectrum of its industrial chemistry. Water has

Metformin Accumulation Correlates with Organic Cation Transporter 2 Protein Expression and Predicts Mammary Tumor Regression In Vivo [PDF]
Abstract Several epidemiologic studies have associated metformin treatment with a reduction in breast cancer incidence in prediabetic and type II diabetic populations. Uncertainty exists regarding which patient populations and/or tumor subtypes will benefit from metformin treatment, and most preclinical in vivo studies have given ...

ZZE-Configuration of chromophore ß-153 in C-phycocyanin from Mastigocladus laminosus [PDF]
The photochemistry of C-phycocyanin has been studied after denaturation in the dark. It shows an irreversible reaction which has characteristics of a Ζ,Ζ,Ε- to Z,Z,Z-isomerization of dihydrobilins. Its amplitude depends on the reaction conditions, with
