Purinergic receptors on blood platelets
Extracellular adenine nucleotides interact with P2 purinergic receptors to regulate a broad range of physiological processes among which platelet aggregation P2 purinoceptors were divided into two main groups: the G-protein coupled receptor or 'metabotropic' superfamily termed P2Y and the ligand-gated ion channel or 'ionotropic receptor' superfamily ...

Abstract Efforts to use transcriptomics for toxicity testing have classically relied on the assumption that chemicals consistently produce characteristic transcriptomic signatures that are reflective of their mechanism of action. However, the degree to which transcriptomic responses are conserved across different test methodologies has seldom been ...

P2 purinoceptors signaling in fibroblasts of rat subcutaneous tissue [PDF]
Mestrado em Biologia Molecular e CelularO tecido conjuntivo parece estar envolvido na génese de diversas condições patológicas. O aumento da rigidez do tecido conjuntivo, resultante da fibrose, pode constituir um factor importante no mecanismo patogénico

Transient signal generation in a self-assembled nanosystem fueled by ATP [PDF]
A fundamental difference exists in the way signal generation is dealt with in natural and synthetic systems. While nature uses the transient activation of signalling pathways to regulate all cellular functions, chemists rely on sensory devices that ...

Diabetic encephalopathy (DME) impairs neurobehavior, neurochemicals, oxidative stress, and inflammation. This study evaluated the effects of hesperidin (HSP), exercise (EX), and acarbose (ACA) alone or combined on diabetic rats. Treatments reduced AChE, BChE, ACE, arginase, ATPDase, 5′‐nucleotidase, ADA, LDH, TBARS, and ROS, while increasing IL‐10, SOD,

Biosensor measurement of purine release from cerebellar cultures and slices [PDF]
We have previously described an action-potential and Ca2+-dependent form of adenosine release in the molecular layer of cerebellar slices. The most likely source of the adenosine is the parallel fibres, the axons of granule cells. Using microelectrode

A New Vista of Opportunity in Diabetes Management: Natural Product‐Based β‐cell Preservation
Preserving functional β‐cells via natural products offers promising strategy for diabetes treatment. ABSTRACT A defining characteristic of diabetes is β‐cell failure, in which β‐cells cannot modulate insulin secretion to compensate for escalating insulin resistance, pushing forward disease development.

The bumpy road of purinergic inhibitors to clinical application in immune-mediated diseases
Purinergic signaling plays important roles throughout the body in the regulation of organ functions during and following the disruption of homeostasis. This is also reflected by the widespread expression of two families of purinergic receptors (P1 and P2)

Dinucleoside polyphosphates : newly detected uraemic compounds with an impact on leucocyte oxidative burst [PDF]
Background. Dinucleoside polyphosphates (NpnN) have pathophysiologic roles in cardiovascular disease and are newly detected uraemic retention solutes. They were retrieved in human plasma, tissues and cells.

ABSTRACT Aims While many patients with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) improve by treating peripheral causes, a substantial proportion continue to experience symptoms despite apparently successful interventions. Central nervous system (CNS) mechanisms could potentially contribute to persisting symptoms after the initial peripheral cause has been ...
