The regulation of autophagy in metazoans is only partly understood, and there is a need to identify the proteins that control this process. The diabetes- and obesity-regulated gene (DOR), a recently reported nuclear cofactor of thyroid hormone receptors, is expressed abundantly in metabolically active tissues such as muscle. Here, we show that DOR shuttles ...

Delta-DOR acquisition strategies are designed for use in determining highly elliptical earth orbits.

Brief interruptions in coronary blood flow precondition the heart, engage delta-opioid receptor (DOR) mechanisms and reduce the damage that typically accompanies subsequent longer coronary occlusions.

The question of the existence of the pre-main sequence (PMS) ? Doradus (? Dor) pulsators has been raised by observations of young clusters such as NGC 884 hosting ? Dor members. We have explored the properties of ? Dor-type pulsations with a grid of PMS models covering the mass range {1.2 < M_*/M_? < 2.5} and we derive the ...

Although thyroid hormone (TH) is known to exert important effects on the skeleton, the nuclear factors constituting the TH receptor coactivator complex and the molecular pathways by which TH mediates its effects on target gene expression in osteoblasts remain poorly understood. A recent study demonstrated that the actions of TH on myoblast differentiation are dependent on diabetes- and ...

To investigate interference of delta-opioid receptor with the Na(+),K(+)-ATPase in a simple model system, we used the Xenopus oocytes as an expression system.

This study tested the hypothesis that enkephalin increases femoral vascular conductance via the delta-2 phenotype of the opioid receptor (DOR-2) within peripheral sympathetic ganglia. Graded pulses of methionine-enkephalin (ME) were administered (0.03-10 ?g/kg) into the terminal aorta of anesthetized dogs proximal to lumbar arteries that perfuse vasomotor ganglia regulating ...

Guard cells, which form stoma in leaf epidermis, sense and integrate environmental signals to modulate stomatal aperture in response to diverse conditions. Under drought stress, plants synthesize abscisic acid (ABA), which in turn induces a rapid closing of stoma, to prevent water loss by transpiration. However, many aspects of the molecular mechanism for ABA-mediated stomatal closure are still ...

Giant cell myocarditis is an unusual and frequently fatal form of myocarditis. A 37-year-old woman presented with resistant cardiac failure and left ventricular aneurysm. She underwent Dor's endoaneurymorrhaphy and was histopathologically proved to have giant cell myocarditis. She had significant improvement of symptoms and was alive 13 months after surgery. ...

We propose a pulsation driving mechanism for {gamma} Doradus variable stars. This mechanism requires that the local convective timescale at the base of the envelope convection zone be comparable to or longer than the pulsation period. This mechanism explains both the red and blue edges of the {gamma} Dor instability strip. We predict that some cadidate {gamma} ...

Heteromerization of opioid receptors has been shown to alter opioid receptor pharmacology. However, how receptor heteromerization affects the processes of endocytosis and postendocytic sorting has not been closely examined. This question is of particular relevance for heteromers of the ?-opioid receptor (MOR) and ?-opioid receptor (DOR), because the MOR is recycled primarily ...

Heteromerization of opioid receptors has been shown to alter opioid receptor pharmacology. However, how receptor heteromerization affects the processes of endocytosis and post-endocytic sorting has not been closely examined.

Context. The late A and F-type ? Doradus (? Dor) stars pulsate with high-order gravity modes (g-modes). The existence of different evolutionary phases crossing the ? Dor instability strip raises the question whether pre-main sequence (PMS) ? Dor stars exist. Aims: We intend to study the differences between the asteroseismic behaviour ...

We analyse VLT/UVES spectra of two eclipsing subdwarf binary systems NY Vir, a rapidly pulsating subdwarf B primary with an M5 companion and AA Dor, an sdOB primary with a degenerate dwarf companion. We report the detection of the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect in the radial velocity curve of NY Vir, as previously seen in AA Dor. Reexamining the AA ...

It is well established that stimulating delta-opioid receptor (DOR) with its specific agonists elicits neuroprotection against hypoxia/ischemia. Mitochondrial dysfunction plays a key role in hypoxic neuronal injury, but the effects of DOR activation on mitochondrial dysfunction in neurons are poorly elucidated. In this investigation, we studied the effects ...

BACKGROUND: The delta opioid receptor (DOR) is a promising target to treat multiple indications, including alcoholism, anxiety, and nonmalignant pain. The potential of the DORs has been underappreciated, in part, due to relatively low functional expression of these receptors in na�ve states. However, chronic exposure to stress, opioids, and inflammation ...

Interactions between the opioidergic and dopaminergic systems in the nucleus accumbens (NAcb) play a critical role in mediating cocaine withdrawal-induced effects on cell signaling and behavior. In support of this, increased activation of striatal dopamine-D1 receptors (D1R) results in desensitization of delta-opioid receptor (DOR) signaling through adenylyl cyclase during ...

Vitex agnus-castus (VAC) has been used since ancient Greek times and has been shown clinically to be effective for the treatment of pre-menstrual syndrome. However, its mechanism of action has only been partially determined. Compounds, fractions, and extracts isolated from VAC were used in this study to thoroughly investigate possible opioidergic activity. First, an extract of VAC was found to ...

BackgroundWe have previously shown that using multiple prediction methods improves the accuracy of disorder predictions. It is, however, a time-consuming procedure, since individual outputs of multiple predictions have to be retrieved, compared to each other and a comprehensive view of the results can only be obtained through a manual, fastidious, non-automated procedure. We herein describe a new ...
