Activity of collagen peptidase was measured in patients with myocardial infarction. Determinations were carried out 1, 3, 6, 9, 14 and 21 days after admission to the hospital. A decrease of activity was observed between the 6th-21st day of the disease. A low correlation with serum aminotransferases
Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP IV) (CD26) plays a critical role in the modulation and expression of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. We recently reported that sera from patients with rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus contained low levels of DPP IV and high titers of anti-DPP
Plasma dipeptidyl-peptidase-4 activity (DPP4a) is inversely associated with left ventricular function in patients with heart failure (HF) or diabetes. However, the association between DPP4a and left ventricular function in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients has not been
UNASSIGNED
What is the central question of this study? Although cardioprotective effects of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors have been demonstrated, their cardiac effects in chronic myocardial infarction (MI) are unclear. We determined the effects of a DPP-4 inhibitor on cardiac function
OBJECTIVE
Mutations in the high-temperature requirement A serine peptidase 1 (HTRA1) gene were studied in a Chinese family with cerebral autosomal recessive arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CARASIL).
METHODS
Exons 1-9 of the HTRA1 gene were amplified and
Adverse cardiac remodeling after myocardial infarction (MI) leads to progressive heart failure. Obese-insulin resistance increases risks of MI and heart failure. Although dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4) inhibitor is known to exert cardioprotection, its effects on adverse remodeling after MI in
Aims: Some hypoglycemic therapies were associated with lower risk of cardiovascular outcomes. We investigated the incidence of cardiovascular disease among patients with type 2 diabetes using antidiabetic drugs from three classes, which were sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors
BACKGROUND
The dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors Sitagliptin and Vildagliptin lower blood glucose by augmenting endogenous levels of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), an incretin which also confers cardioprotection. As such, we hypothesized that treatment with DPP-4 inhibitors are also
OBJECTIVE
We hypothesized that dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP)-4 inhibitor (vildagliptin) reduces fatal arrhythmias, cardiac dysfunction and infarct size caused by ischaemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury via its attenuation of cardiac mitochondrial dysfunction.
METHODS
In total, 26 rats were randomized to
Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4) is an integral membrane glycoprotein that modulates the pathological state of diabetes mellitus (DM), and DPP4 inhibitors are a new class of anti-type-2 DM drugs. Recent preclinical studies have associated DPP4 inhibition with improved myocardial systolic and diastolic
Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors not only improve impaired glucose tolerance in diabetes, but also have pleiotropic extra-pancreatic effects such as preconditioning effect for myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury. Here, we investigated the anti-remodeling effects of linagliptin, a DPP-4
BACKGROUND
Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) is not only important in pancreatic β-cell regulation but also has proinflammatory actions that can contribute to atherosclerosis progression. Previously, we showed that DPP-IV is co-localized with CD31 (an endothelial cell marker) in the neovessels within
OBJECTIVE
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (7-36)amide (GLP-1) is cleaved by dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) to GLP-1 (9-36)amide. We examined whether chemical inhibition or genetic elimination of DPP-4 activity affects cardiovascular function in normoglycemic and diabetic mice after experimental myocardial
BACKGROUND
In addition to degrading glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inactivates several chemokines, including stromal cell-derived factor-1α (SDF-1α), a pro-angiogenic and cardiomyocyte protective protein. We hypothesized that DPP-4 inhibition may confer benefit
