the effect of different levels of dried purslane powder (dpp) in broiler diets on performance, immune response and some of blood factors was studied with 160 one day old chicken ross 308 in a completely randomized design with four treatments (diets included with levels zero (control), 2.5, 5 and 7.5 percent dpp), four replicates and 10 chicks in each replication. at 22-42 and 1-42 days differen...

Background: Emerging evidence suggests that secretome of mesenchymal stem cells has many anti-inflammatory and regenerative properties, which makes it a suitable candidate for the treatment of autoimmune and degenerative diseases. Dipeptidyl Peptidase-IV (DPP-IV)/CD26 and Aminopeptidase N (APN)/CD13 are ubiquitous ecto-enzymes which can digest various substrates including some ...

A series of acceptor-acceptor (A-A’) alternated copolymers based on dithienodiketopyrrolo pyrrole were synthesized by copolymerizing it with itself and other different electron-poor monomers. The experimental computed optoelectronic properties four DPP-based copolymers, P(DPP-DPP) (with linear branched chains), copolymer diazapentalene P(DPP-DAP) also dioxothienopyrrolebenzodifurandione P(DPP-B...

A series of three donor molecules (DPP-B, DPP-N and DPP-P) based on diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) sharing the similar backbone D-π-A-π-D have been investigated. In these molecules, substituents such as pyrene, naphthalene benzene act electron donating end groups, DPP central core unit thiophene has used a bridge between acceptor fragments. Theoretical calculations carried out with help density fun...

DPP-4 (dipeptidyl peptidase-4) degrades the incretin hormones GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) and GIP (gastric inhibitory polypeptide), decreasing their stimulatory effects on beta-cell insulin secretion. In patients with Type 2 diabetes, meal-related GLP-1 secretion is reduced. DPP-4 inhibitors (alogliptin, saxagliptin, sitagliptin and vildagliptin) correct the GLP-1 deficiency by blocking thi...

genes spalt (sal) and optomotorblind (omb) at different Summary cytonemes (Ramírez-Weber and Kornberg, 1999) shape the Dpp activity gradient. These studies point to the Secreted morphogens such as the Drosophila TGF-␤ homolog Decapentaplegic (Dpp) are thought to spread necessity of directly monitoring the distribution and trafficking of Dpp to approach the cellular and molecular through target ...

Herein, two diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP)-based, small-molecule isomers, o- and p-DPP-PhCN, were introduced as acceptors in ternary organic solar cells (OSCs). The isomers have the same molecular backbone but differ positions of cyanide (CN) substituents (ortho para), which greatly affects their packing behavior. Ternary composed poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT):DPP-PhCN:phenyl-C61-butyric acid methy...

D ipeptidyl peptidase (DPP)-4 is a complex enzyme that exists as a membrane-anchored cell surface peptidase that transmits intracellular signals via a short intracellular tail and as a second smaller soluble form present in the circulation. DPP-4 cleaves a large number of chemokines and peptide hormones in vitro, but comparatively fewer peptides have been identified as endogenous physiological ...

During germ band elongation, widespread decapentaplegic (dpp) expression in the dorsal ectoderm patterns the underlying mesoderm. These Dpp signals specify cardial and pericardial cell fates in the developing heart. At maximum germ band extension, dpp dorsal ectoderm expression becomes restricted to the dorsal-most or leading edge cells (LE). A second round of Dpp signaling then specifies cell ...
