The negative coordination of growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHS-R) and growth hormone-releasing hormone receptor (GHRH-R) involves in the repair processes of cellular injury. The allosteric U- or H-like modified GHRH dimer Grinodin and 2Y were comparatively evaluated in normal Kunming mice and hamster infertility models induced by CPA treatment. 1-3-9 µg of Grinodin or 2Y per hamster stem-cell-exhaustion model was subcutaneously administered once a week, respectively inducing 75-69-46 or 45-13-50 % of birth rates.

Environmental challenges, specifically chronic stress, have long been associated with neuropsychiatric disorders, including anxiety and depression. Sirtuin-1 (SIRT1) is a NAD-dependent deacetylase that is widely distributed in the cortex and is involved in stress responses and neuropsychiatric disorders. Nevertheless, how chronic stress modulates the SIRT1 pathway and associated signaling remains unclear.

Although the deubiquitinase cylindromatosis (CYLD), an abundant protein in the postsynaptic density fraction, plays a crucial role in mediating the synaptic activity of the striatum, the precise molecular mechanism remains largely unclear. Here, using a -knockout mouse model, we demonstrate that CYLD regulates dorsolateral striatum (DLS) neuronal morphology, firing activity, excitatory synaptic transmission, and plasticity of striatal medium spiny neurons , likely, interaction with glutamate receptor 1 (GluA1) and glutamate receptor 2 (GluA2), two key subunits of alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionic acid receptors (AMPARs). CYLD deficiency reduces levels of GluA1 and GluA2 surface protein and increases K63-linked ubiquitination, resulting in functional impairments both in AMPAR-mediated excitatory postsynaptic currents and in AMPAR-dependent long-term depression.

Epidemiological studies suggest a bidirectional association between depression and obesity; however, the biological mechanisms that link the development of depression to a metabolic disorder remain unclear. Even though nuclear receptor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) agonists show anti-depressive effect, and high-fat diet-(HFD)-induced PPARγ dysfunction is involved in the pathogenesis of metabolic disorders, the neuronal PPARγ has never been studied in HFD-induced depression. Thus, we aimed to investigate the effect of neuronal PPARγ on depressive-like behaviors in HFD-induced obese mice.

The aim of this study was to investigate the initial time of platelet inhibiting effect of aspirin (ASA) and the effects of different doses on equilibrium of prostacyclin (PGI(2))-thromboxane B(2) (TXB(2)). The effects of 100 mg and 300 mg ASA on Platelet count, platelet aggregation rate, TXB(2) and PGI(2) were investigated using cross-compare way for 40 aspirin ingestion patients. The results showed that the platelet counts decreased to 33% after 30 minutes of single-dose ASA ingestion of 100 mg and to 25.
