Discovery of TUG-770: a highly potent free fatty acid receptor 1 (FFA1/GPR40) agonist for treatment of type 2 diabetes [PDF]
Free fatty acid receptor 1 (FFA1 or GPR40) enhances glucose-stimulated insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells and currently attracts high interest as a new target for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.

Production by Secretagogues of Duodenal Ulcers in the Rat
Duodenal ulcers were produced in rats by subcutaneous infusion for 48 hr of either of the following secretagogues: histamine, carbachol, pentagastrin. When any two of these secretagogues were administered together, synergism was observed in the ulcerogenic effect. Synergism, or potentiation, is defined as an effect produced by two agents given together

Predictors of Mortality in Patients With Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 1
SUMMARY Objective Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 1 (MEN 1) is an autosomal dominant disease predisposing to hyperplasia and neoplasia in diverse endocrine tissues. Patients typically present with endocrine abnormalities before the age of 30 years and have reduced life expectancy.

Circulating adipokines data associated with insulin secretagogue use in breast cancer patients
Oral drugs stimulating endogenous insulin production (insulin secretagogues) may have detrimental effects on breast cancer outcomes. The data presented shows the relationship between pre-existing insulin secretagogues use, adipokine profiles at the time ...

Ghrelin causes hyperphagia and obesity in rats. [PDF]
Ghrelin, a circulating growth hormone–releasing pep-tide derived from the stomach, stimulates food intake. The lowest systemically effective orexigenic dose of ghrelin was investigated and the resulting plasma ghre-lin concentration was compared with ...

Loss of constitutive activity of the growth hormone secretagogue receptor in familial short stature.
The growth hormone (GH) secretagogue receptor (GHSR) was cloned as the target of a family of synthetic molecules endowed with GH release properties. As shown recently through in vitro means, this receptor displays a constitutive activity whose clinical ...
