DPP-4 has a higher selectivity for glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-1, GLP-2, neuropeptide Y and peptide YY, than DPP-8 and -9. [7] Both GLP-1 and glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP) are ...

Oxyntomodulin and peptide tyrosine-tyrosine (PYY) are released from intestinal enteroendocrine cells in response to a meal. These circulating hormones are considered to be satiety signals, as they ...

Transferrin receptor 1 (TfR1) is a ubiquitously expressed receptor characterized by rapid internalization kinetics and efficient receptor recycling, making it an attractive target for drug delivery.

Protein digestion products promote the release of incretins, such as GLP-1, which regulate glucose homeostasis. Our previous studies demonstrated that the egg white peptide fraction stimulates GLP-1 ...

The L-cell, another EEC subtype, is known for its role in secreting hormones, such as peptide YY (PYY) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), and sensing postprandial nutrients. Exogenous administration ...

If you’ve ever skimmed the label of a fancy serum or moisturiser, chances are you’ve seen the word peptides printed in bold. But what exactly are they—and are they worth the buzz (and bucks)? Spoiler: ...

GIP looks a lot like GLP-1, so rather than administer two drugs, researchers created one peptide that incorporates structural elements of both—what’s called in drug development a chimera.
