Recent findings from the NORTH Ireland and Brazil illuminate research in endocrinology
Published in Obesity and Diabetes Week, October 23rd, 2006
Study 1: Peptides of glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide lose biological activity and antidiabetic properties following C-terminal truncation.
According to recent research from North Ireland, "Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) is a key physiological insulin releasing peptide and potential antidiabetic agent. The present study was undertaken in an attempt to develop small molecular weight GIP agonist and antagonist molecules."
"The bioactivity of two modified C-terminally truncated fragment GIP peptides, GIP(1-16) and...
