Example Sentences

One such selective DOP agonist -- KNT-127 -- has been shown to exert 'anxiolytic' or anxiety-reducing effects in animal models, with minimal side effects.

Based on this, they hypothesized that DOP activation by KNT-127 suppresses glutamatergic transmission and attenuates PL-BLA-mediated anxiety-like behavior.

Further studies are needed to understand the precise underlying molecular and neuronal mechanisms, for the development of novel therapies targeting DOP in the PL-BLA pathway.

The research introduces the driving mechanism for phytoplankton growth under the influence of human activities, termed the 'Anthropogenic Nitrogen Pump', where phytoplankton absorbs a large amount of nitrogen, exacerbates phosphorus deficiency, and enhances the bioavailability of DOP for phytoplankton growth.

Furthermore, the study reveals that the hydrolysis and utilisation of DOP are jointly regulated by the concentration of dissolved inorganic phosphorus and phytoplankton biomass, indicating that the process driven by the 'Anthropogenic Nitrogen Pump' widely exists in coastal seas globally with different nutrient levels.
