1 BBR-SDT also reduced the phosphorylation of Akt and mTOR, two key molecules in the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway, which is responsible for inducing autophagy. bbr-sdt mechanistic target of rapamycin kinase Homo sapiens
2 BBR-SDT also reduced the phosphorylation of Akt and mTOR, two key molecules in the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway, which is responsible for inducing autophagy. bbr-sdt mechanistic target of rapamycin kinase Homo sapiens
3 Taken together, these results demonstrate that BBR-SDT effectively promotes cholesterol efflux by increasing reactive oxygen species generation, and this subsequently induces autophagy via the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway in both "normal" macrophages and lipid-loaded macrophages (foam cells). bbr-sdt mechanistic target of rapamycin kinase Homo sapiens
