Vitamin A Update: Forms, Sources, Kinetics, Detection, Function, Deficiency, Therapeutic Use and Toxicity
Alejandro Carazo,Kateřina Macáková,Kateřina Matoušová,Lenka Kujovská Krčmová,Michele Protti,Přemysl Mladěnka +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a complex view on the present knowledge about vitamin A ranging from its sources through its physiological functions to consequences of its deficiency and metabolic fate up to possible pharmacological administration and potential toxicity.
Journal ArticleDOI
S-substituted 3,5-dinitrophenyl 1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thiols and tetrazole-5-thiols as highly efficient antitubercular agents
Galina Karabanovich,Jan Němeček,Lenka Valášková,Alejandro Carazo,Klára Konečná,Jiřina Stolaříková,Alexandr Hrabálek,Oto Pavliš,Petr Pavek,Kateřina Vávrová,Jaroslav Roh,Věra Klimešová +11 more
TL;DR: The analogues with a trifluoromethyl group instead of one of the nitro groups maintained a high antimycobacterial activity, which indicates the possibility for further structural optimization of this class of antitubercular agents.
Journal ArticleDOI
The pregnane X receptor down-regulates organic cation transporter 1 (SLC22A1) in human hepatocytes by competing for (“squelching”) SRC-1 coactivator
Lucie Hyrsova,Tomas Smutny,Alejandro Carazo,Stefan Moravcik,Jana Mandíková,František Trejtnar,Sabine Gerbal-Chaloin,Sabine Gerbal-Chaloin,Petr Pavek +8 more
TL;DR: Pregnane X receptor mediates induction of the principal xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes and transporters in the liver and down‐regulation of OCT1 expression by PXR activation is assessed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vitamin K - sources, physiological role, kinetics, deficiency, detection, therapeutic use, and toxicity
Přemysl Mladěnka,Kateřina Macáková,Lenka Kujovská Krčmová,Lenka Javorská,Kristýna Mrštná,Alejandro Carazo,Michele Protti,Fernando Remião,Lucie Nováková,Oemonom researchers +9 more
TL;DR: Vitamin K is traditionally connected with blood coagulation, since it is needed for the posttranslational modification of 7 proteins involved in this cascade, but it is also involved in the maturation of another 11 or 12 proteins that play different roles, encompassing the modulation of the calcification of connective tissues as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Unexpected Effects of Propiconazole, Tebuconazole, and Their Mixture on the Receptors CAR and PXR in Human Liver Cells.
Constanze Knebel,Jannika Neeb,Elisabeth Zahn,F. Schmidt,Alejandro Carazo,Ondej Holas,Petr Pavek,Gerhard Püschel,Ulrich M. Zanger,Roderich D. Süssmuth,Alfonso Lampen,Philip Marx-Stoelting,Albert Braeuning +12 more
TL;DR: Propiconazole and Te affect different hepatotoxicity-relevant cellular targets and, depending on the individual endpoint analyzed, act via similar or dissimilar mechanisms.
