The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) belong to the nuclear hormone receptor superfamily. All PPARs heterodimerize with the retinoid X receptor (RXR) and bind to specific regions on the DNA of target genes. The discovery of PPARγ as a target of multimodal insulin sensitizers has attracted remarkable scientific interest and had a great impact on the pharmaceutical industry. Thi...

Activating nonshivering thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue (BAT) is a promising strategy to prevent obesity. This study investigated whether quercetin supplementation improves obesity mice by increasing BAT and white (WAT) browning. Compared high-fat diet (HFD)-fed mice, fed HFD supplemented with 1% (HFDQ) had reduced body weight total plasma cholesterol. In HFDQ-fed retroperitoneal WAT (RWA...

The incidence of reproductive disorders is constantly increasing and affects 15% couples, with male's abnormalities diagnosed in almost half the cases. male gonads exert two major functions testis productions gametes (exocrine function) sexual hormones (endocrine function). In last decades, next to steroid receptors such as estrogen androgen receptors, involvement other members nuclear receptor...

Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the major cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. The aim of this study was to explore the effect of resveratrol (RES) on Canonical β-catenin/Wnt and forkhead box O (FOXO) pathways in CAD patients.Method: We performed this study on 10 metabolic syndrome patients with three-vessel CAD and 10 sex-aged matched healthy subjects. The effects of RES on...

g -aminobutiric acid (gaba), the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system has two major receptor subtypes (gabaa and gabab). gabab receptors are activated by the antispastic and muscle relaxant agent, baclofen, which is a lipophilic derivative of gaba. since 1962 several strategies have been reported for the synthesis of baclofen.in this study an approach has been made to...

Low birth weight (LBW) babies are associated with neonatal morbidity and mortality at increased risk for noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) in later life. However, the molecular determinants of LBW not well understood. Placental insufficiency/dysfunction is most frequent etiology fetal growth restriction resulting placental epigenetic processes suggested to be important regulators pregnancy outcom...
