Subjects with isolated complaints of chronic daytime sleepiness are usually classified as "idiopathic hypersomniacs" and treated symptomatically. A group of these subjects was investigated during… Expand
"Stress-responsive" mitogen-activated protein kinases (c-Jun N-terminal kinases and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinases) in the myocardium.
The best-characterized subfamilies of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) superfamily are the extracellularly responsive kinases (ERKs) and the two “stress-responsive” MAPK subfamilies,… Expand
The p38‐MAPK inhibitor, SB203580, inhibits cardiac stress‐activated protein kinases/c‐Jun N‐terminal kinases (SAPKs/JNKs)
SB203580 is a recognised inhibitor of p38‐MAPKs. Here, we investigated the effects of SB203580 on cardiac SAPKs/JNKs. The IC50 for inhibition of p38‐MAPK stimulation of MAPKAPK2 was approximately… Expand
Glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3) in the heart: a point of integration in hypertrophic signalling and a therapeutic target? A critical analysis

- Biology, Medicine
- British journal of pharmacology
- 1 March 2008
Glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3, of which there are two isoforms, GSK3α and GSK3β) was originally characterized in the context of regulation of glycogen metabolism, though it is now known to… Expand
Differential activation of protein kinase C isoforms by endothelin-1 and phenylephrine and subsequent stimulation of p42 and p44 mitogen-activated protein kinases in ventricular myocytes cultured…

- 30 December 1994
The translocation of protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms PKC-alpha, PKC-delta, PKC-epsilon, and PKC-zeta from soluble to particulate fractions was studied in ventricular cardiomyocytes cultured from… Expand
Regulation of bcl-2 family proteins during development and in response to oxidative stress in cardiac myocytes: association with changes in mitochondrial membrane potential.
Cardiac myocyte apoptosis is potentially important in many cardiac disorders. In other cells, Bcl-2 family proteins and mitochondrial dysfunction are probably key regulators of the apoptotic… Expand
Small guanine nucleotide-binding proteins and myocardial hypertrophy.
The small (21 kDa) guanine nucleotide-binding protein (small G protein) superfamily comprises 5 subfamilies (Ras, Rho, ADP ribosylation factors [ARFs], Rab, and Ran) that act as molecular switches to… Expand
Stimulation of “Stress-regulated” Mitogen-activated Protein Kinases (Stress-activated Protein Kinases/c-Jun N-terminal Kinases and p38-Mitogen-activated Protein Kinases) in Perfused Rat Hearts by…

- The Journal of Biological Chemistry
- 27 March 1998
“Stress-regulated” mitogen-activated protein kinases (SR-MAPKs) comprise the stress-activated protein kinases (SAPKs)/c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNKs) and the p38-MAPKs. In the perfused heart,… Expand
Cellular mechanisms of cardiac hypertrophy
Hypertrophy of myocytes in the heart ventricles is an important adaptation that in vivo occurs in response to a requirement for increased contractile power. It involves changes at the level of gene… Expand
Stimulation of the p38 Mitogen-activated Protein Kinase Pathway in Neonatal Rat Ventricular Myocytes by the G Protein–coupled Receptor Agonists, Endothelin-1 and Phenylephrine: A Role in Cardiac…

- 27 July 1998
We examined the activation of the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38-MAPK) pathway by the G protein–coupled receptor agonists, endothelin-1 and phenylephrine in primary cultures of cardiac… Expand
