It has been shown that glutamine protects the heart from ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury; however, the mechanisms underlying this protection have not been identified. Glutamine:fructose-6-phosphate amidotransferase (GFAT) regulates the entry of glucose into the hexosamine biosynthesis pathway (HBP), and activation of

Although mouse oocytes and cleavage-stage embryos are unable to utilize glucose as a metabolic fuel, they have a specific requirement for a short exposure to glucose prior to compaction. The reason for this requirement has been unclear. In this study

The presence of gastrin and cholecystokinin-2 (CCK2) receptors in human preneoplastic and neoplastic gastrointestinal lesions suggests a role in cancer development. In addition to the growth-promoting action of gastrin, recently a role of the cholecystokinin-2/gastrin receptor (CCK2-R) modulating cellular morphology

We herein report the development of a molecular toolbox for the dimorphic fungus Paracoccidioides brasiliensis, specifically a more efficient transformation and a gene expression system. We evaluated several parameters that influence Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation (ATMT), such as co-cultivation conditions and
