The Role of Apelin/Apelin Receptor in Energy Metabolism and Water Homeostasis: A Comprehensive Narrative Review

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2021
The apelin receptor (APJ) is a member of the family A of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and is involved in range of physiological and pathological functions, including fluid homeostasis, anxiety, and depression, as well as cardiovascular and ...

Effects of acute and chronic high-intensity interval training on serum irisin, BDNF and apelin levels in male soccer referees

open access: yesJournal of Men's Health
This study was aimed to investigate the effects of acute and chronic High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) on Irisin, BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor), and Apelin levels. The study included twenty-one male soccer referees.

Effects of adenotonsillectomy on plasma inflammatory biomarkers in obese children with obstructive sleep apnea: A community-based study. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
BackgroundObesity and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSA) are highly prevalent and frequently overlapping conditions in children that lead to systemic inflammation, the latter being implicated in the various end-organ morbidities associated with these

On the cardiovascular activity of apelin [PDF]

open access: yesCardiovascular Research, 2005
See article by Ashley et al. [8] (pages 73–82) in this issue. Apelin, a peptide recently isolated from bovine stomach extracts, has been seen to act as an endogenous ligand of the orphan G-protein-coupled APJ receptor [1]. The structure of apelin preproteins was deduced from the sequences of the relevant cDNAs.

Intrathecally Administered Apelin-13 Alleviated Complete Freund’s Adjuvant-Induced Inflammatory Pain in Mice

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2020
Apelin is the endogenous ligand for APJ, a G-protein-coupled receptor. Apelin gene and protein are widely distributed in the central nervous system and peripheral tissues. The role of apelin in chronic inflammatory pain is still unclear.

Computational Screening of Tip and Stalk Cell Behavior Proposes a Role for Apelin Signaling in Sprout Progression

open access: yes, 2016
Angiogenesis involves the formation of new blood vessels by sprouting or splitting of existing blood vessels. During sprouting, a highly motile type of endothelial cell, called the tip cell, migrates from the blood vessels followed by stalk cells, an ...

G-Protein coupled receptor signalling in pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiovascular cells: Implications for disease modelling [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Human pluripotent stem cell derivatives show promise as an in vitro platform to study a range of human cardiovascular diseases. A better understanding of the biology of stem cells and their cardiovascular derivatives will help to understand the strengths

Requirement of Apelin-Apelin Receptor System for Oxidative Stress-Linked Atherosclerosis [PDF]

open access: yesThe American Journal of Pathology, 2007
The recently identified endogenous peptide apelin and its specific apelin receptor (APJ) are currently being considered as potential regulators in vascular tissue. Previously, we reported apelin mediates phosphorylation of myosin light chain and elicits vasoconstriction in vascular smooth muscle.

Apelin is expressed throughout the human kidney, is elevated in chronic kidney disease & associates independently with decline in kidney function

open access: yesBritish Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, 2022
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is common and cardiovascular disease (CVD) is its commonest complication. The apelin system is a potential therapeutic target for CVD but data relating to apelin in CKD are limited. We examined expression of the apelin system
