With emerging evidence showing a wide distribution of secretin (SCT) and its receptor (SCTR) in the central nervous system (CNS), the putative neuropeptide role of SCT has become more appreciated since the disruption of SCT/SCTR axis affects various ...

Calcitonin‐like diuretic hormone influences reproduction in adult female Rhodnius prolixus
Highlights • CT/DH‐like immunoreactivity is present in female reproductive tissues • CT/DH receptor transcripts are expressed in the fat body and ovaries • RNAi knockdown of CT/DH receptors reduces egg number and hatching rate • Rhopr‐CT/DH increases RhoprVg1 and RhoprVgR expression in ovaries in vitro • Rhopr‐CT/DH stimulates oviduct contractions in a

GLP‐1 Receptor Agonists and Weight Loss: A Critical Review of Mechanisms
ABSTRACT GLP‐1 receptor agonist medications have the potential to promote marked weight loss, but maximal and sustained benefit may be compromised by poor compliance and cessation of use. Development of next‐generation medications that address current obstacles to effective use and development of effective adjunct treatments will benefit from better ...

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are among the most common drug targets, with numerous agonists and antagonists approved for clinical use. More recently, it has been appreciated that drugs can also modulate the action of natural agonists of these ...

Abstract Nutrient sensing enables the body to detect and respond to nutrient availability through hormonal regulation. In this study, we examined nutrient‐stimulated hormonal responses in children with severe acute malnutrition (SAM) compared with hospitalized (HC) and community (CC) child comparators.

ABSTRACT Rationale Peptides and oligonucleotides are increasingly used as therapeutic agents, making the identification and structural elucidation of their metabolites a critical step in drug development. Liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC‐MS/MS) is the primary analytical technique for this purpose; however, extensive backbone fragmentation ...

Abstract Plant pathogenic bacteria cause massive losses in agriculture and damage to natural plant habitats. Bacterial pathogens not only reduce crop production, but they also reduce crop quality by releasing toxins into the environment. Pathogenic bacteria that invade plant tissues must overcome the plant's defense mechanisms. Plants possess an innate

Impaired Renal Base Excretion in Secretin Receptor Knock‐Out Mice During Prolonged Base‐Loading
ABSTRACT Aim Secretin was recently found to play a pivotal role in the renal adaptation to acute base excess. Here, secretin increases pendrin‐dependent HCO3− secretion from the beta‐intercalated cells in the cortical collecting ducts. Whether secretin and its receptor play a role during prolonged base‐loading remains unknown.

Abstract The preparation of secretin has been described in a previous paper (1928). The method involved extraction of the duodenal mucosa with absolute alcohol and precipitation of the dissolved secretin by bile salts. It was based on two observations: (a) secretin exists in the duodenal mucosa in an active condition, and (b) the ...
