Non‐canonical PKG1 regulation in cardiovascular health and disease
British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.It is well established that the cyclic GMP‐dependent protein kinase I (PKG1) is canonically activated by cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), enabling its regulation of vascular tone, cardiac function and smooth muscle homeostasis. However, diverse non‐canonical stimuli of PKG1 have also been identified.

Investigating Seronegative Phospholipase A2 Receptor Positive Primary Membranous Glomerulonephritis in a Young Adolescent Successfully Managed With Rituximab: Phospholipase A2 Receptor in Primary Membranous Glomerulonephritis [PDF]
Membranous glomerulonephritis (MGN) is the most common cause of nephrotic syndromein adults worldwide; however, it accounts for only 1.5% to 9% of cases of pediatricnephrotic syndrome.

Renal Phospholipase A2 Receptor and the Clinical Features of Idiopathic Membranous Nephropathy
Chinese Medical Journal, 2017 Background: According to the renal phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) immunohistochemistry, idiopathic membranous nephropathy (iMN) could be categorized into PLA2R-associated and non-PLA2R-associated iMN. This study aimed to examine whether the non-PLA2R-

Is there a role for cannabidiol in obesity, metabolic syndrome and binge eating?
British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of the most abundant phytocannabinoids isolated from the Cannabis sativa plant. CBD is a lipophilic, non‐intoxicating substance that differently from Δ9‐tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9‐THC) does not present the typical profile of a drug of abuse.

Study of the cell biological role of Lowe Syndrome protein OCRL1 [PDF]
, 2009 Oculocerebrorenal syndrome of Lowe (OCRL) is caused by mutations in a phosphatidylinositol 5-phosphatase, OCRL1, and is believed to lead to an elevation of its preferred substrate, PI(4,5)P2.

Impact of incretin analogues on lipid and lipoprotein metabolism in obesity and diabetes
British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.Abstract Incretin‐based therapies have gained momentum as a key strategy for reducing cardiovascular risk in individuals with obesity and/or type 2 diabetes (T2D). It remains unclear whether the cardiovascular benefits reflect a direct reduction in atherogenic lipoproteins—namely, low‐density lipoproteins (LDL), very low‐density lipoproteins (VLDL) and

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.Abstract The lungs have for a long time been recognised as having pharmacological significance as a specific organ to modulate the pharmacokinetics of endogenous substances needed to maintain homeostasis. The lungs are therefore the site of action of certain drugs that act on these homeostatic processes, resulting in systemic effects on the ...

Clinical, genetic and molecular aspects of membranous nephropathy [PDF]
, 2011 Membranous Nephropathy (MN) is one of the leading causes of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). MN is an autoimmune disease in which autoantibodies target antigens at the level of the glomerular basement membrane.

Mast cell degranulation induced by two phospholipase A2 homologues: dissociation between enzymatic and biological activities. [PDF]
, 1998 Bothropstoxin-I and bothropstoxin-II are phospholipase A2 homologues isolated from Bothrops jararacussu snake venom. The former is devoid of phospholipase A2 activity whereas the latter has very low enzymatic activity. In this study, we have investigated
