HDL and apolipoprotein A1 (apoA1) concentrations inversely correlate with risk of death from ischemic heart disease; however, the role of apoA1 in the myocardial response to ischemia has not been well defined. To test whether apoA1, the primary HDL…

BACKGROUND: Transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channels of the A1 (TRPA1) and V1 (TRPV1) subtypes are key regulators of vasomotor tone. Propofol is an intravenous anesthetic known to cause vasorelaxation. Our objectives were to examine the extent…

Neuropilin-1 (Nrp1) encodes the transmembrane cellular receptor neuropilin-1, which is associated with cardiovascular and neuronal development and was within the peak SNP interval on chromosome 8 in our prior GWAS study on age-related hearing loss…

Transient receptor potential vanilliod 1 (TRPV1) channels have recently been postulated to play a role in the vascular complications/consequences associated with diabetes despite the fact that the mechanisms through which TRPV1 regulates vascular…

RATIONALE: Transient receptor potential channels of the ankyrin subtype-1 (TRPA1) are non-selective cation channels that show high permeability to calcium. Previous studies from our laboratory have demonstrated that TRPA1 ion channels are expressed…

The UBASH3/STS/TULA family consists of two members sharing substantial homology and a similar multi-domain architecture, which includes a C-terminal histidine phosphatase domain capable of dephosphorylating phosphotyrosine-containing substrates.…

In this report we compared three different parameters of nigrostriatal dopaminergic (NSDA) function - locomotor activity, striatal dopamine (DA) levels and 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC)/DA ratios between heterozygous mutant dopamine…

We have previously shown that the ethanol-mediated elevation of lipocaline-2 (LCN2) is closely associated with the development of alcoholic fatty liver disease (AFLD) in mice. Herein, we aimed to understand the functional significance of LCN2…

The influence of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) upon the nigrostriatal dopaminergic system was evaluated in weanling and adult mice carrying a targeted inactivated BDNF gene. Regional specificity of this BDNF mutation was assessed by…
