What doesn't kill you makes you stranger: Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (CD26) proteolysis differentially modulates the activity of many peptide hormones and cytokines generating novel cryptic bioactive ligands [PDF]
, 2019 Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) is an exopeptidase found either on cell surfaces where it is highly regulated in terms of its expression and surface availability (CD26) or in a free/circulating soluble constitutively available and intrinsically active form.

Experimental and clinical pharmacology - Incretin mimetics and enhancers: mechanisms of action [PDF]
, 2008 The incretins are peptide hormones secreted from the gut in response to food. They increase the secretion of insulin. The incretin response is reduced in patients with type 2 diabetes, so drugs acting on incretins may improve glycaemic control. Incretins

Interplay between bone and incretin hormones: A review [PDF]
, 2017 Bone is a tissue with multiple functions that is built from the molecular to anatomical levels to resist and adapt to mechanical strains. Among all the factors that might control the bone organization, a role for several gut hormones called "incretins ...

Effects of Methotrexate on IL-6alphar, VCAM-1 and NF Kappa B Expression in a Rat Model of Metabolic Syndrome [PDF]
, 2016 Background: In this study, we used Methotrexate (Mtx) to examine the role of immunomodulation on the activation of IL-6 and VCAM-1, which could generate a microenvironment that supports cardiovascular remodelling.Methods: Male WKY and SHR rats were ...

Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide - a new link in the development of obesity
Ожирение и метаболизм, 2015 Objective. Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) as well as glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is intestinal incretin hormone that stimulates insulin secretion in response to feeding. Much evidence of GIP contribution to obesity development has

A walnut-containing meal had similar effects on early satiety, CCK, and PYY, but attenuated the postprandial GLP-1 and insulin response compared to a nut-free control meal. [PDF]
, 2017 Regular nut consumption is associated with lower adiposity and reduced weight gain in adulthood. Walnut feeding studies have observed minimal effect on body weight despite potential additional energy intake.
