Caffeine and Selective Adenosine Receptor Antagonists as New Therapeutic Tools for the Motivational Symptoms of Depression

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2018
Major depressive disorder is one of the most common and debilitating psychiatric disorders. Some of the motivational symptoms of depression, such anergia (lack of self-reported energy) and fatigue are relatively resistant to traditional treatments such ...

The Role of Magnesium in Liver Cirrhosis

Portal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, EarlyView.
Magnesium is a vital mineral involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions, crucial for physiological functions. Its deficiency, common in liver cirrhosis patients, correlates with poor outcomes by affecting inflammation, oxidative stress, fibrosis, and immunity. This review explores magnesium's role in cirrhosis and its interaction with disease mechanisms.

The Selective Antagonism of Adenosine A2B Receptors Reduces the Synaptic Failure and Neuronal Death Induced by Oxygen and Glucose Deprivation in Rat CA1 Hippocampus in Vitro

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2018
Ischemia is a multifactorial pathology characterized by different events evolving in time. Immediately after the ischemic insult, primary brain damage is due to the massive increase of extracellular glutamate.

Upregulation of AMPA receptor GluA1 phosphorylation by blocking adenosine A1 receptors in the male rat forebrain

Brain and Behavior, 2020
Objective The adenosine A1 receptor is a Gαi/o protein‐coupled receptor and inhibits upon activation cAMP formation and protein kinase A (PKA) activity. As a widely expressed receptor in the mammalian brain, A1 receptors are implicated in the modulation ...

Insights Into the Conformational Dynamics of the Cytoplasmic Domain of Metal‐Sensing Sensor Histidine Kinase ZraS

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT ZraS is a metal sensor integral to ZraPSR, a two‐component signaling system found in enterobacters. It belongs to a family of bifunctional sensor histidine kinases (SHKs) and is speculated to sense zinc‐induced stress on the bacterial envelope.

Near‐Infrared Fluorescent Single‐Walled Carbon Nanotubes for Biosensing

Small, EarlyView.
Near‐infrared fluorescent single‐walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) stand out as versatile biosensors due to their spectral overlap with the biological transparency window, surface‐sensitive fluorescence emission, and chemical modularity. This review offers a concise guide to understanding the photophysics of SWCNTs, various functionalization strategies,

Adenosine A2A receptors: localization and function [PDF]

, 2015
Adenosine is an endogenous purine nucleoside present in all mammalian tissues, that originates from the breakdown of ATP. By binding to its four receptor subtypes (A1, A2A, A2B, and A3), adenosine regulates several important physiological functions at ...

Characterisation of the adenosine A1 receptor in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

The FASEB Journal, 2008
Different ligands for G protein‐coupled receptors can induce unique receptor conformations, leading to differing profiles of G protein coupling. Given that S. cerevisiae expression systems are useful tools for studying the coupling of GPCRs to individual G protein pathways, experiments were undertaken to investigate whether different pharmacological ...

Semaglutide to remodel mitochondrial dynamics and mitophagy balance for vascular dementia therapy

VIEW, EarlyView.
The effects of semaglutide on IR, mitochondrial dynamics, and mitophagy in the hippocampus of BCAS mice after CCH. It was shown that semaglutide maintained the balance of mitochondrial dynamics and mitophagy by improving IR and passing through GLP‐1R/PI3K/Akt pathway, reduced hippocampal neuroinflammation and neuron loss, and thus promoted the recovery

Adenosine A2A Receptor Binding Profile of Two Antagonists, ST1535 and KW6002: Consideration on the Presence of Atypical Adenosine A2A Binding Sites [PDF]

, 2010
Adenosine A2A receptors seem to exist in typical (more in striatum) and atypical (more in hippocampus and cortex) subtypes. In the present study, we investigated the affinity of two adenosine A2A receptor antagonists, ST1535 [2 butyl -9-methyl-8-(2H-1,2 ...
