Synthesis and structure-activity relationship studies on a new aminopropandiol class of derivatives as calcium-sensing receptor antagonists are described. Modification of the phenolic moiety of a calcilytic compound NPS 2143 led to the identification of an orally available compound (R,R)-31 which demonstrated a rapid and transient stimulation of PTH release in rats.

In vitro embryo production (IVP) is used in the cattle industry to increase the rate of genetic gain. IVP uses semen that has been frozen and thawed, a process that renders sperm less viable than sperm from fresh semen. Granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) is present in bovine seminal plasma, while its receptor is present on bovine sperm.

Secondary hyperparathyroidism (sHPT) is a significant clinical complication of CKD leading to bone abnormalities and cardiovascular disease. Current treatment based on activating the parathyroid calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) using calcimimetics such as Cinacalcet, aims to decrease plasma PTH levels and inhibit the progression of parathyroid hyperplasia. In the present study, we found significant diurnal rhythmicity of Casr, encoding the Cinacalcet drug target in hyperplastic parathyroid glands (p = 0.

Skin-penetrating nematodes infect nearly one billion people worldwide. The developmentally arrested infective larvae (iL3s) seek out hosts, invade hosts via skin penetration, and resume development inside the host in a process called activation. Activated infective larvae (iL3as) traverse the host body, ending up as parasitic adults in the small intestine.

Article Synopsis
  • A female neonate born to consanguineous parents exhibited severe hyperparathyroidism (NSHPT) after a C-section, showing signs of respiratory distress and skeletal abnormalities following birth.
  • Diagnostic challenges included elevated calcium levels and a homozygous variant in the calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) gene, leading to the establishment of NSHPT.
  • Management of NSHPT is critical due to its high mortality risk; treatment options typically involve addressing the high calcium levels and associated metabolic issues.

Background: The calcium-sensitive receptor (CaSR) has been identified as a key factor in the formation of kidney stones. A substantial body of research has illuminated the function of CaSR in stone formation with respect to oxidative stress, epithelial injury, crystal adhesion, and stone-associated proteins. Nevertheless, as a pivotal molecule in renal calcium excretion, its pathway that contributes to stone formation by regulating calcium supersaturation remains underexplored.
