TL;DR: DPP IV appears to be a major physiological regulator for some regulatory peptides, neuropeptides, circulating hormones and chemokines, especially for the insulinotropic hormone GLP-1, which has been tested to enhance insulin secretion and to improve glucose tolerance in diabetic animals.

TL;DR: Neuropeptide Y greatly enhanced the adrenergically mediate contractile response to electrical stimulation and to application of adrenaline, noradrenaline or histamine, as studied in the isolated rabbit gastro-epiploic and femoral arteries.
725 citations
TL;DR: A C-terminal portion appears to be sufficient for exerting the prejunctional effect of NPY and PYY, while the whole sequence seems to be required for post- junctional effects.
657 citations
TL;DR: It was found that mean arterial pressure after the administration of apelin, apelin-13, andapelin-36 at a dose of 10 nmol/kg in anaesthetized rats was reduced by 26+/-5, 11+/-4, and 5-/-4 mm Hg, respectively, suggesting that apelin may lower blood pressure via a nitric oxide-dependent mechanism.
620 citations
TL;DR: A novel role for leptin in skeletal bone growth and development is indicated and the demonstration that the signalling or long form (Ob-Rb) of the leptin receptor is present in both primary adult osteoblasts and chondrocytes suggests that the growth promoting effects of leptin could be direct.
