  Introduction Glucokinase (GCK, hexokinase IV) is a monomeric enzyme that catalyzes the ATP-dependent conversion of glucose to glucose 6-phosphate, the first and rate-limiting step of glycolysis in the liver and pancreas [1,2]. GCK was first discovered in the early 1960's, and shortly thereafter i

  Another key component of proper DA cell physiology is the basal firing activity of SN DA neurons, which maintains extracellular levels of dopamine in the dorsal striatum that are essential for voluntary movement [106]. Changes in SN DA neuron activity directly impacts the amount of dopamine released

  Human GS is a multi-subunit complex consisting of four components: presenilin 1 (PS1), presenilin enhancer 2 (PEN-2), anterior pharynx-defective 1A (APH-1A) and nicastrin (NCT) (Fig. 1a) [5,6]. PS1 comprise nine transmembrane helices (TM 1–9) and contains the catalytic aspartate residues in its TM6

  Interestingly, GAL has also been shown to be co-expressed and/or secreted in luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) (Merchenthaler et al., 1991, Marks et al., 1994) and kisspeptin (KISS) neurons (Porteous et al., 2011). Furthermore, GAL was shown to stimulate luteinizing hormone (LH) secretion

  Liver is the house for a variety of xenobiotic-metabolizing cantharidin that produce reactive oxygen species as well as reactive metabolites (Johansson et al., 2009; Noh et al., 2017; Puntarulo and Cederbaum, 1998). When the enzymes act upon pre- or pro-haptens, the chemicals would be activated to

  Zn2+ is the second most abundant trace metal in many cells and neurons in the brain. It regulates cellular functions such as gene expression, epigenetic enzymatic activity, protein structural stability, and neuronal plasticity. Zn2+ is particularly abundant in the cortex and limbic system, including

  The G protein-coupled receptor, GPR40 (also called FFAR1) responds to medium and long chain unsaturated fatty acids, resulting in increase of insulin secretion during elevated glucose levels. The glucose dependency of insulin secretion makes this receptor a very good target for developing therapies

  The ability of GPX4 and other selenoproteins to be selectively induced by ferroptotic stimuli suggests that the stress-induced increase in the transcription of a number of putative, “antioxidant” selenoproteins is an adaptive homeostatic, but insufficient response to prevent cell death in the face o

  The medicinal properties of guanidine derivatives are also of great interest due to their diverse anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, and anti-cancer, activities (C and D). Guanidine-containing drugs, such as -iodobenzylguanidine and methylglyoxal bis(guanylhydrazone), were shown several

  The second approach to optimizing microsomal stability in this series involved the strategic positioning of steric bulk along the tether as a means of encumbering the access of oxidative enzymes to the methylene bridge. This approach has been employed in other P2-P4 macrocyclic inhibitors of NS3/4A
