Biogenesis of peroxisomes and glycosomes: trypanosomatid glycosome assembly is a promising new drug target.
Description :
In trypanosomatids (Trypanosoma and Leishmania), protozoa responsible for serious diseases of mankind in tropical and subtropical countries, core carbohydrate metabolism including glycolysis is compartmentalized in peculiar peroxisomes called glycosomes. Proper biogenesis of these organelles and the...

Ethanol induces higher BEC in CB1 cannabinoid receptor knockout mice while decreasing ethanol preference.
Description :
AIMS: Previous studies have shown that CB(1) cannabinoid receptors are involved in the behavioural effects induced by chronic ethanol administration in Wistar rats by using SR 141716, a CB(1) cannabinoid receptor antagonist. These studies have now been extended to investigate the effect of acute and...
