Hemodynamic Effects of the Non-Peptidic Angiotensin-(1-7) Agonist AVE0991 in Liver Cirrhosis
BACKGROUND & AIMS Although in cirrhosis with portal hypertension levels of the vasoconstrictor angiotensin II are increased, this is accompanied by increased production of angiotensin (Ang)-(1-7), the endogenous ligand of the Mas receptor (MasR), which blunts hepatic fibrosis and decreases hepatic vascular resistance. Therefore, we investigated the effects of the non-peptidic Ang-(1-7) agonist,...
متن کاملAgonist binding to peptide hormone receptors.
A fundamental issue in molecular pharmacology is to define how agonist-receptor interaction differs from that of antagonist-receptor interaction. The V(1a) vasopressin receptor (V(1a)R) is a member of a family of related G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) that are activated by vasopressin, oxytocin (OT) and related peptides. A segment of the N-terminus that was required for agonist binding, bu...
متن کاملCharacterization of non-peptide antagonist and peptide agonist binding sites of the NK1 receptor with fluorescent ligands.
Ligand recognition of the NK1 receptor (substance P receptor) by peptide agonist and non-peptide antagonist has been investigated and compared by the use of fluorescent ligands and spectrofluorometric methods. Analogues of substance P (SP) labeled with the environment-sensitive fluorescent group 5-dimethylaminonaphthalene-1-sulfonyl (dansyl) at either position 3, 8, or 11 or with fluorescein at...
متن کاملstudy of comparative effects of harmine and ghrelin agonist on insulin and c-peptide secretion
Aim and Background: The ability to secrete insulin from the islets of Langerhans on the one hand and suppress the factors that increase serum glucose concentrations on the other; It is very important in patients with metabolic disorders such as diabetes. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of harmine with ghrelin agonist (as a suppressor of insulin secretion) on insulin secretion a...
متن کاملEffects of galnon, a non-peptide galanin-receptor agonist, on insulin release from rat pancreatic islets.
Galanin is a neurotransmitter peptide that suppresses insulin secretion. The present study aimed at investigating how a non-peptide galanin receptor agonist, galnon, affects insulin secretion from isolated pancreatic islets of healthy Wistar and diabetic Goto-Kakizaki (GK) rats. Galnon stimulated insulin release potently in isolated Wistar rat islets; 100 microM of the compound increased the re...
