Journal ArticleDOI

Oxidation of tetrahydrobiopterin leads to uncoupling of endothelial cell nitric oxide synthase in hypertension

TL;DR: Evidence is obtained that hypertension produces a cascade involving production of ROSs from the NADPH oxidase leading to oxidation of tetrahydrobiopterin and uncoupling of endothelial NO synthase (eNOS), which decreases NO production and increases ROS production from eNOS.
Journal ArticleDOI

Multiple types of skeletal muscle atrophy involve a common program of changes in gene expression

TL;DR: Different types of skeletal muscle atrophy share a common transcriptional program that is activated in many systemic diseases including diabetes, cancer, and renal failure, according to cDNA microarrays.
Journal ArticleDOI

Activation of caspase-3 is an initial step triggering accelerated muscle proteolysis in catabolic conditions

TL;DR: It is found that recombinant caspase-3 cleaves actomyosin, producing a characteristic, approximately 14-kDa actin fragment and other proteins that are degraded by the Ub-P'some system.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evaluation of signals activating ubiquitin-proteasome proteolysis in a model of muscle wasting

TL;DR: Acidity is not necessary for these responses, but glucocorticoids and a low insulin level in tandem activate the ubiquitin-proteasome proteolytic system, and this system is stimulated in conditions causing muscle atrophy.
