Journal ArticleDOI

Methamphetamine acutely inhibits voltage-gated calcium channels but chronically up-regulates L-type channels.

TL;DR: The short‐term inhibition of Ca2+ ion movement and later, the up‐regulation of Ca 2+ channel gene expression together suggest the operation of cAMP‐responsive element‐binding protein‐ and C‐MYC‐mediated mechanisms to compensate for Ca2 + channel inhibition by METH.
Journal ArticleDOI

Knowing when not to stop

TL;DR: A recent study reveals that the eukaryotic ribosomal protein L30 binds to the selenocysteine recoding RNA element and may function to tether the recoding machinery to the translating ribosome.
Book ChapterDOI

Selenocysteine insertion sequence element characterization and selenoprotein expression.

TL;DR: The criteria and assays used for identifying SECIS elements and for evaluating relative SECIS function are described, and the conditions established for optimal expression of selenoproteins in transiently transfected cells are described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Supplement of bamboo extract lowers serum monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 concentration in mice fed a diet containing a high level of saturated fat.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the BEX supplement in the high-fat diet ameliorates elevated MCP-1 concentrations in the blood, and whether this is related to modulated endocrine properties of the visceral fat is to be studied.
Journal ArticleDOI

A new approach for analyzing cellular infiltration during allergic airway inflammation.

TL;DR: These FACS-based techniques provide a powerful approach for analyzing cellular profiles in lung tissue from mice used in the mouse model of asthma and may also prove valuable in evaluating cellular infiltrates for other models of inflammation and immune responses.
