  Now we turn to the other channel through which the risk-taking incentives provided by option compensation affect corporate debt maturity. Jensen and Meckling (1976) argue that the payoff structure of debt holders in a levered firm is concave, while that of equity holders is convex, thus, shareholder

  Anandamide signaling and cardiovascular function The cardiovascular effects of cannabinoid compounds have been known for a long time. Studies in humans indicate that chronic use of marijuana causes long lasting decrease in blood pressure and heart rate, whereas the acute use increases heart rate

  2022-01-07

  

  The glycolytic activator 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose 2,6-bisphosphatase 3 (PFKFB3) is well-known as a downstream substrate of hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) signaling pathway [5,6]. Tumor hypoxia has long been associated with increased malignancy, poor prognosis and drug resistance. HIF-

  2022-01-07

  

  The overall characteristic of RNA profile of Leydig cell is still a mystery. Variation in total RNA will cause subsequent difference in protein expression and phenotypic modulation [16]. In this study, we used a murine nicotine exposure model coupled with next generation RNA sequencing (NGS) and fou

  2022-01-07

  

  Interestingly, myorelaxation and the stimulation of cGMP production are properties also reported for sGC stimulators, such as YC-1 and BAY 41–2272 (i.e., indazole compounds that were discovered in the 1990s) [35]. They relax aortic ring contractions induced by phenylephrine, and their effects are si

  Limited efforts were made to exploit the naturally-occurring antigen-specific Treg for ex vivo expansion. This study sets up a reproducible protocol for the expansion of insulin-specific Treg isolated from NOD mice. These amantadine hcl exhibited higher suppressive capacity compared to the polyclon

  2022-01-06

  

  GlxI is a member of the βαβββ superfamily of proteins, consisting of fosfomycin resistance protein (FosA), methylmalonyl-CoA epimerase (MMCE), extradiol dioxygenase (DIOX), mitomycin C resistance protein (MRP) and bleomycin resistance protein (BRP) [29], [30], [31]. These proteins are believed to ha

  2022-01-06

  

  Despite their undisputed importance, however, FPR receptors are not in the limelight of GPCR-related research (for review [12] and references therein). We, therefore, draw attention to this GPCR receptor family, in order to re-initiate FPR-related research, particularly in the light of biased agonis

  2022-01-06

  

  The NGS of six Southern Brazil patients revealed three different variants: c.472C > T (p.Arg158Trp); c.958G>A (p.Gly320Arg) and c.986T>C (p.Leu329Pro) (Table 2). The amino acids involved in these substitutions were evolutionarily conserved in different species (Fig. 1B). The amino leukotriene b4 rec

  In accordance with our study, the blockage of Fas/FasL pathway and overexpression of miR-204-5p was associated with reduced BUN, Scr, and MDA, as well as elevated SOD and GSH-Px. A recent study has reported the ectopic expression of BUN and Scr in RIRI animals, which marked the dysfunction of kidney

  2022-01-06

  

  One PKC target that controls cortical 527 structure is a well-known actin crosslinking protein, myristoylated alanine-rich C-kinase substrate (MARCKS). MARCKS cross-links actin and binds PIP2 and this binding activity is regulated by PKC phosphorylation [82]. Activation of PKC releases MARCKS from t

  2022-01-06

  

  The effect of combined A-192621 and PD 155080 treatment on the cc-5013 during endotoxin infusion is quite different compared to either drug used alone (Wanecek et al., 1999). After administration of both antagonists in combination, cardiac index increased to baseline values within 30 min, and was d

  2022-01-06

  

  Hippo signaling is unique in that it does not possess a cognate ligand and receptor system. Instead, numerous upstream sensors that monitor cell morphology, cell polarity, cell-cell contact, and mechanical stress impinge onto the Hippo pathway core kinases, MST, and LATS. This in turn indicates the

  2022-01-06

  

  To promote biomimetic growth of HAp, Li et al. [20] developed a technique to modify cellulose nanofibers using P2O5. It was ascertained that the negative phosphate groups bonded with Ca2+ through coordination bonds and subsequently guided the growth of the Ca–P crystals throughout the scaffolds. Sim

  2022-01-06

  

  Most studies of HIF-1α have focused on its transcriptional activity-dependent functions. However, our results indicate that the oxidative stress-related effects of mtHIF-1α occur independently of its translocation to the nucleus and do not require its transcriptional activity. In fact, several studi
