Acetaminophen is extensively used as an analgesic and antipyretic agent, but at high doses it causes liver damage. The major metabolic pathways of acetaminophen are glucuronidation and sulfation. In addition to these pathways, acetaminophen...
AMP-dependent kinase (AMPK) is a primary energy sensor that controls energy use and production during metabolic cellular stress, such as hypoxia and nutrient deprivation. AMPK activation results in inhibition of anabolic processes and promotion...
Myogenesis is an important process that occurs during the developmental stages of an embryo. Stem cells learn of their fate during this course if they will become muscle cells and from there, differentiation within those muscle cells will take...
Our lab has recently observed a triphasic hypertonicity induced current in stage IV-VI Xenopus laevis oocytes. This current is a calcium-dependant chloride current which is similar to that observed by (Hartzell, 1996). Hartzell, 1996) found that...
