Apelin and its ratio to lipid factors are associated with cardiovascular diseases: A systematic review and meta-analysis

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2022
Background The present systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to ascertain if the circulating levels of apelin, as an important regulator of the cardiovascular homeostasis, differ in patients with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and controls. Methods A

Apelin and its Receptor: An Overview [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2019
Apelin protein is an endogenous ligand of Apelin Receptor (APJ). APJ is a member of G-protein coupled receptor family. Both apelin and its receptor express extensively in the human body.

Apelin-13 Protects Neurons by Attenuating Early-Stage Postspinal Cord Injury Apoptosis In Vitro

open access: yesBrain Sciences, 2022
Apelin is a 77-amino-acid peptide that is an endogenous ligand for the G protein-coupled receptor APJ (Apelin receptor, APJ). Apelin-13, as the most bioactive affinity fragment of apelin, plays a role in energy metabolism, myocardial ischemia-reperfusion

Endothelial cell-derived Apelin inhibits tumor growth by altering immune cell localization

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
The Apelin/APJ signalling pathway, involved in multiple physiological and pathological processes, has been attracting increasing interest recently. In our previous study, Apelin overexpression in colon26 tumor cells suppressed tumor growth by inducing ...
