MCP-1 upregulates amylin expression in murine pancreatic β cells through ERK/JNK-AP1 and NF-κB related signaling pathways independent of CCR2. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 BackgroundAmylin is the most abundant component of islet amyloid implicated in the development of type 2 diabetes. Plasma amylin levels are elevated in individuals with obesity and insulin resistance.

The gut-brain axis and alcohol-mediated behaviours: the amylin story [PDF]
, 2019 Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a complex neuropsychiatric disorder with high rates of mortality and morbidity. The currently available pharmacotherapies show varied efficacy, leading to the investigation of new neurochemical targets for alcohol ...

Differential effect of amylin on endothelial-dependent vasodilation in mesenteric arteries from control and insulin resistant rats. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Insulin resistance (IR) is frequently associated with endothelial dysfunction and has been proposed to play a major role in cardiovascular disease (CVD). On the other hand, amylin has long been related to IR.

The satiating hormone amylin enhances neurogenesis in the area postrema of adult rats
Molecular Metabolism, 2016 Objective: Adult neurogenesis in the subgranular zone and subventricular zone is generally accepted, but its existence in other brain areas is still controversial.

Amylin receptor: a common pathophysiological target in Alzheimer’s Disease and Diabetes Mellitus
Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2013 Amylin (islet amyloid polypeptide) and amyloid beta protein (Abeta), which are deposited within pancreatic islets of diabetics and brains of Alzheimer’s patients respectively, share many biophysical and physiological properties.

Association between amylin and amyloid-β peptides in plasma in the context of apolipoprotein E4 allele. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Amylin, a pancreatic peptide that readily crosses the blood brain barrier (BBB), and amyloid-beta peptide (Aβ), the main component of amyloid plaques and a major component of Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology in the brain, share several features.

Circulating Differentially Methylated Amylin DNA as a Biomarker of β-Cell Loss in Type 1 Diabetes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 In type 1 diabetes (T1D), β-cell loss is silent during disease progression. Methylation-sensitive quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) of β-cell-derived DNA in the blood can serve as a biomarker of β-cell death in T1D.

Quantitative, High-Throughput Assays for Proteolytic Degradation of Amylin
Methods and Protocols, 2020 Amylin is a pancreatic peptide hormone that regulates glucose homeostasis but also aggregates to form islet amyloid in type-2 diabetes. Given its role in both health and disease, there is renewed interest in proteolytic degradation of amylin by insulin ...
