Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation, 2020 Motivated by the role that amylin aggregates play in type-II diabetes, we compare the stability of regular amylin fibrils with the stability of fibrils where l-amino acid chains are replaced by d-retro inverso (DRI) amylin, that is, peptides where the sequence of amino acids is reversed, and at the same time, the l-amino acids are replaced by their ...

Amylin induces hypoglycemia in mice
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2013 Amylin is a 37-aminoacid pancreatic protein that exerts control over several metabolic events such as glycemia and lacticemia. Amylin has long been shown to induce increases in arterial plasma glucose.

Peptide Marriages: Modular Assembly of Multi‐Agonist Therapeutics
Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.A modular polyethylene glycol (PEG) scaffold enables rapid assembly of dual peptide agonists using strain‐promoted azide–alkyne cycloaddition (SPAAC) and copper‐catalysed azide–alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC). Glucagon‐like peptide‐1 (GLP‐1) and amylin agonists were combined with controlled valency, yielding low‐picomolar activity and receptor‐selective ...

Amylin: Localization, Effects on Cerebral Arteries and on Local Cerebral Blood Flow in the Cat
The Scientific World Journal, 2001 Amylin and adrenomedullin are two peptides structurally related to calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP). We studied the occurrence of amylin in trigeminal ganglia and cerebral blood vessels of the cat with immunocytochemistry and evaluated the role of ...

Drug Testing and Analysis, EarlyView.Sensitive LC‐HRMS methods were established for the detection of kisspeptin and its analogues in serum and urine, alongside their analytical and metabolic characterization. Stability studies were conducted in serum, plasma, and urine, highlighting the importance of appropriate sample handling for reliable anti‐doping analysis.

A New Vista of Opportunity in Diabetes Management: Natural Product‐Based β‐cell Preservation
Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.Preserving functional β‐cells via natural products offers promising strategy for diabetes treatment. ABSTRACT A defining characteristic of diabetes is β‐cell failure, in which β‐cells cannot modulate insulin secretion to compensate for escalating insulin resistance, pushing forward disease development.
