Asprosin, a Fasting-Induced Glucogenic Protein Hormone
Hepatic glucose release into the circulation is vital for brain function and survival during periods of fasting and is modulated by an array of hormones that precisely regulate plasma glucose levels. We have identified a fasting-induced protein hormone that modulates hepatic glucose release. It is the C-terminal cleavage product of profibrillin, and we name it Asprosin. Asprosin is secreted by ...
متن کاملEffect of Centrally Acting a-Adrenergic Agonists
Three studies were undertaken to reevaluate (1) whether there is a peripheral component in the reduction of sympathetic activity caused by centrally acting drugs; and (2) whether the antihypertensive effect of these drugs is due entirely to this reduction. Plasma growth hormone and norepinephrine concentrations were used as respective markers of central a-adrenoceptor stimulation and peripheral...
متن کاملIs Nitric Oxide a Hormone?
Nitric oxide (NO) is a simple ubiquitous signaling molecule and plays important roles in almost every biological system. Recent evidences suggest that NO may act as an endocrine molecule. The aim of this review is considering available literature on endocrine roles of NO and/or its metabolites, i.e. nitrite and nitrate. Existing data suggest the idea that NO is a hormone that after production i...
متن کاملInsulin-like peptide 5 is an orexigenic gastrointestinal hormone.
The gut endocrine system is emerging as a central player in the control of appetite and glucose homeostasis, and as a rich source of peptides with therapeutic potential in the field of diabetes and obesity. In this study we have explored the physiology of insulin-like peptide 5 (Insl5), which we identified as a product of colonic enteroendocrine L-cells, better known for their secretion of gluc...
متن کاملCritical flicker frequency and centrally-acting drugs.
THE critical flicker frequency (cff) may be defined as the fastest rate at which a flickering source of light appears to be flickering as opposed to being steady. It has a number of determinants including the luminance, wave-length, wave-form, and light-dark ratio of the stimulating light, the area, position, and light-adapted state of the retina illuminated, the duration of exposure, and the s...
