Adenosine 3′-monophosphate (3′-AMP) is a metabolite produced from hydrolysis of 2′,3′-cAMP by a family of metal-dependent phosphodiesterases. 3′-AMP inhibits proliferation of preglomerular vascular smooth muscle cells and glomerular mesangial cells via A2B receptors. 2′,3′-cAMP and 3′-AMP represent a new unexplored pathway for adenosine-based cell regulation.

During the early evolution of life, 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (O) may have functioned as a proto-flavin capable of repairing cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers in DNA or RNA by photoinduced electron transfer using longer wavelength UVB radiation. To investigate the ability of O to
Natural phenolic compounds are known to be metabolized by phase II metabolic reactions. In this study, we examined the in vitro sulfation of the main constituents of silymarin, an herbal remedy produced from the fruits of the milk thistle. The
Resveratrol (RV) is a natural polyphenol compound with a wide range of activities, including inhibition of human bladder cancer (HBC) cell growth. Because RV is rapidly metabolized and has poor bioavailability, it is unclear whether the antitumor activity is due
The pathological process and mechanism of myocardial ischemia (MI) is very complicated, and remains unclear. An integrated proteomic-metabolomics analysis was applied to comprehensively understand the pathological changes and mechanism of MI. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into a mock
