Secretory peptide hormones are biochemical antioxidants: structure-activity relationship.
The secretory peptides luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone, enkephalin, angiotensin, and oxytocin are biochemical antioxidants in aqueous medium. These hormones scavenge free peroxyl radicals, prevent the oxidation of low-density lipoprotein, and inhibit lipid peroxidation in brain membranes. Their capacity to directly suppress free radical-mediated reactions is demonstrated by electron-spin ...
متن کاملSex Hormones' Regulation of Rodent Physical Activity: A Review
There is a large body of emerging literature suggesting that physical activity is regulated to a varying extent by biological factors. Available animal data strongly suggests that there is a differential regulation of physical activity by sex and that the majority of this differential regulation is mediated by estrogen/testosterone pathways with females in many animal species having higher dail...
متن کاملAmphiphilic secondary structure: design of peptide hormones.
Peptide synthesis can be used for elucidating the roles of secondary structures in the specificity of hormones, antigens, and toxins. Intermediate sized peptides with these activities assume amphiphilic secondary structures in the presence of membranes. When models are designed to optimize the amphiphilicity of the secondary structure, stronger interactions can be observed with the synthetic pe...
متن کاملPeptide hormones and the regulation of sodium excretion.
TWENTY years ago, intensive research led to the delineation of the role played by alterations in blood composition in mediating the natriuresis that resulted from the infusion of colloidfree isotonic saline solutions into humans and experimental animals. Results of this research indicated that changes in renal hemodynamics (glomerular filtration rate [GFR], renal blood flow, renal vascular resi...
متن کاملPeptide and Protein Delivery at a Glance
Peptide and protein drugs have found an important position in therapeutics. Recent advances in pharmaceutical biotechnology have led to an increase in the number of protein products in the market. As these therapeutic proteins and peptides are made available, it will be essential to formulate these drugs into safe and effective delivery systems. The twenty different naturally occurring amin...
