Both B1R and B2R act as intermediate signaling molecules in high glucose-induced stimulation of glutamate uptake in ARPE cells.

29 Nov 2009 Bradykinin (BK) is a potent modulator of biological processes in the retina, and retinal pigment epithelial cells (RPE) and the regulation of glutamate are believed to be important in the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy. However, the mechanism ... Read more...

Osteoblast differentiation is functionally associated with decreased AMP kinase activity.

29 Nov 2009 Osteoblasts, originating from mesenchymal stem cells, play a pivotal role in bone formation and mineralization. Several transcription factors including runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2) have been reported to be essential for osteoblast ... Read more...

Kinetics of transport and phosphorylation of glucose in cancer cells.

29 Nov 2009 Metabolic control analysis of tumor glycolysis has indicated that hexokinase (HK) and glucose transporter (GLUT) exert the main flux control (71%). To understand why they are the main controlling steps, the GLUT and HK kinetics and the contents of ... Read more...
