Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DDP IV) in NASH patients.
OBJECTIVE(S) Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a chronic liver disease with unknown etiology. The insulin resistance, immune mechanisms and oxidative stress are the main factors in its pathogenesis. Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPPIV) or CD26 is a protein with endocrine and immune functions. This study aimed to elicudate the changes related to DPPIV in NASH patients. METHODS Serum and urina...
متن کاملTackling dipeptidyl peptidase IV in neurological disorders
Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) is a serine protease best known for its role in inactivating glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP), three stimulators of pancreatic insulin secretion with beneficial effects on glucose disposal. Owing to the relationship between DPP-IV and these peptides, inh...
متن کاملCd26/Dipeptidyl Peptidase IV in Context
C D26, the T cell activation molecule, is a 110-kD gly-coprotein that is also present on epithelial cells of various tissues, including the liver, kidney, and intestine. CD26 possesses a known dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP)IV activity in its extracellular domain (1). A paper by Wesley et al. in this issue indicates a possible role for CD26/DPPIV in suppressing malignant transformation of melanocyte...
متن کاملDistribution of dipeptidyl peptidase IV in patients with chronic tonsillitis.
In the pathogeneses of recurrent tonsillitis (RT) and tonsillar hypertrophy (TH), different immunological mechanisms are involved. Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP IV) and aminopeptidase N (APN) participate in the regulation of the immune response during inflammation. In this study, the localization of DPP IV and the enzymatic activities of DPP IV and APN in 32 patients, 13 with RT and 19 with TH, ...
