Moreover, the GH/IGF-I axis is known to stimulate the activity of peripheral deiodinases, converting T4 to the biologically active T3 (Hussain et al. 1996; Jorgensen et al. 1989).
The results showed that Cu2+ was the main effective activator of glucoamylase as it was able to stimulate the activity of glucoamylase about 145%.
This mobilization may lead to the activation of calpain, a member of a cytoplasmic protease family that can stimulate the activity of xanthine oxidase.
There is evidence that inhalation anesthetics block synapses that participate in excitatory neuronal transmission, whereas some intravenous anesthetics primarily stimulate the activity of inhibitory neuronal transmission.
Among the therapies on the continuum are organ transplantation (for genetic-deficiency diseases); vaccination (which precipitates irreversible changes in white blood cells' DNA, initiating the synthesis of antibodies); and drugs (to stimulate the activity of dormant genes in sickle-cell anaemia).
On the other hand, AMPK can stimulate the activity of nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) which increases the level of NAD+.
Drug treatments in osteoporosis patients will slow down the activity of bone resorbing cells (osteoclasts) or stimulate the activity of bone forming cells (osteoblasts) or do both.
The results showed that Mn2+ or Ca2+ improved the activity of pectinase, which was able to stimulate the activity of pectinase about 75 and 10% (Fig. 5d).
Several thioureas and 4,5-dihydrothiazoles were found to stimulate the activity of human inducible NOS in a time-dependent manner.
In one approach, growth-limiting substrates are added to the subsurface to stimulate the activity of targeted groups of indigenous microorganisms and create conditions favorable for the microbially-mediated reductive precipitation ('bioreduction') of targeted contaminants.
A decrease in intracellular hydrogen ion concentration may stimulate the activity of phosphofructokinase, a key enzyme in the glycolytic cycle, which could result in increased intracellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) hydrolysis and increased VO2 [29, 29].
