Des-(27-31)C-Peptide

T+31C polymorphism of angiotensinogen gene and essential hypertension.

A common variant at codon 235 of the angiotensinogen gene with methionine to threonine amino acid substitution (AGT M235T) has been reported as a genetic risk for essential hypertension. However, the frequency of AGT T235 was heterogeneous among races, and a positive association between AGT M235T and hypertension was not settled. To examine the association in a general population of Japanese (n...

Connexin-mimetic peptide Gap 27 decreases osteoclastic activity

BACKGROUND Bone remodelling is dependent on the balance between bone resorbing osteoclasts and bone forming osteoblasts. We have shown previously that osteoclasts contain gap-junctional protein connexin-43 and that a commonly used gap-junctional inhibitor, heptanol, can inhibit osteoclastic bone resorption. Since heptanol may also have some unspecific effect unrelated to gap-junctional inhibiti...
