Insulin Resistance: An Update on Biochemical and Pathophysiological Mechanisms and Impact on Various Diseases

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Insulin resistance is the biological phenomenon in which the human body's normal response to the metabolic hormone insulin is compromised. Insulin is a regulator of most of the essential metabolic steps in the body that control energy homoeostasis, so dysregulation leads to multiple diverse human diseases including, most prominently, Type 2 ...

The effect and mechanism of endothelin-1-induced intracellular free calcium in human lung adenocarcinoma cells SPC-A1

Chinese Journal of Lung Cancer, 2008
Background and objective Endothelin-1 (ET-1) is a potent mitogen involved in cell growth in human lung adenocarcinoma cells SPC-A1. The increase in intracellular free calcium ([Ca2+]i) plays a great role in this process.

Evidence for G‐Protein–Coupled Estrogen Receptor as a Pronatriuretic Factor

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2020
Background The novel estrogen receptor, G‐protein–coupled estrogen receptor (GPER), is responsible for rapid estrogen signaling. GPER activation elicits cardiovascular and nephroprotective effects against salt‐induced complications, yet there is no ...

Endothelin‐1 and Endothelin Receptor Antagonists in Cardiovascular Remodeling

Proceedings of the Society for Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1999
Endothelins build a peptide family composed of three isoforms, each of them containing 21 amino acids. Endothelin‐1 is the isoform mainly responsible for any cardiovascular action and therefore the sole scope of this review. Endothelin‐1 is the most potent endogenous vasoconstrictor known; in addition it acts as a potent (co)mitogen.

Traditional Chinese Medicine and Natural Products Targeting Right Ventricular Dysfunction in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension: Toward Precision Cardiometabolic Therapy

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
Natural products and traditional Chinese medicine target metabolic pathways underlying right ventricular dysfunction in pulmonary arterial hypertension. Integrating multi‐omics, artificial intelligence, and systems biology may enable precision cardiometabolic therapies to restore right ventricular metabolism and improve clinical outcomes.

S100A9 promotes pulmonary arterial hypertension by regulating mitochondria–endoplasmic reticulum interaction‐mediated inflammatory injury of endothelial cells

Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
Macrophage‐derived S100 calcium‐binding protein A9 (S100A9) promotes the pathological progression of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). S100A9 upregulates the interaction between signal‐transducing adaptor protein 2 and leucine‐rich repeat kinase 2, thereby regulating mitochondria–endoplasmic reticulum (ER) contact.

The endothelin system in pulmonary and renal vasculopathy: les liaisons dangereuses

European Respiratory Review, 2009
Endothelial cells regulate vascular tone largely by the actions of endothelin-1. Endothelin-1 is a potent vasoconstrictor, with effects that are dependent on the receptors to which it binds as well as their location.
