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...

Development of galanin-containing nerve fibres in rat tibia.

4 Nov 2009 Galanin exerts tonic inhibition of nociceptive input to the central nervous system. Recently, this peptide was demonstrated in several neuronal and non-neuronal structures in bones and joints. In this study, the time of appearance and topographic ... Read more...

Rapid use-dependent down-regulation of gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptors in rat mesencephalic trigeminal neurons.

30 Oct 2009 Rundown is ubiquitously seen in response to repetitive activation of receptor or ion channels as a use-dependent down-regulation through various mechanisms. In contrast to AMPA receptors, gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor (GABA(A)R) are ... Read more...
