Hepatic Cerebroside Sulfotransferase Is Induced by PPARα Activation in Mice by Takefumi Kimura, Takero Nakajima, Yuji Kamijo, Naoki Tanaka, Lixuan Wang, Atsushi Hara, Eiko Sugiyama, Eiji Tanaka, Frank J. Gonzalez, Toshifumi Aoyama

“…Fenofibrate treatment increased serum and hepatic sulfatides in Ppara (+/+) and (+/−) mice through a marked induction of hepatic cerebroside sulfotransferase (CST), a key enzyme in sulfatide synthesis, in a PPARα-dependent manner. Furthermore, increases in CST mRNA levels were correlated with mRNA elevations of several known PPARα target genes, and such changes were not observed for other sulfatide-metabolism enzymes in the liver. …”

Analysis of the Influencing Factors on the Well Performance in Shale Gas Reservoir by Cheng Dai, Liang Xue, Weihong Wang, Xiang Li

“…Due to the ultralow permeability of shale gas reservoirs, stimulating the reservoir formation by using hydraulic fracturing technique and horizontal well is required to create the pathway of gas flow so that the shale gas can be recovered in an economically viable manner. The hydraulic fractured formations can be divided into two regions, stimulated reservoir volume (SRV) region and non-SRV region, and the produced shale gas may exist as free gas or adsorbed gas under the initial formation condition. …”

The Distinct Functions of Dopaminergic Receptors on Pain Modulation: A Narrative Review by Xia-qing Wang, Tahmineh Mokhtari, Yu-xuan Zeng, Lu-peng Yue, Li Hu

“…The findings can be categorized as follows: (1) D2-like receptors may exert a higher analgesic potency, but D1-like receptors act in different manners across several mechanisms in the mentioned regions; (2) in the spinal cord and striatum, antinociception of DA is mainly mediated by D2-like receptors, while in the NAc and PAG, both D1- and D2-like receptors are involved as analgesic targets; and (3) D2-like receptor agonists can act as adjuvants of μ-opioid receptor agonists to potentiate analgesic effects and provide a better approach to pain relief.…”
