Feed is one of the most important external signals in fish that stimulates its feeding behavior
and growth. The intake of feed is the main factor determining efficiency and cost, maximizing …

A gene encoding a novel class a G-protein-coupled receptor was discovered in 1993 by
homology cloning and was called APJ. It was designated an “orphan” receptor until 1998 …

Apelin, a cytokine mainly secreted by adipocytes, is closely related with insulin resistance.
The underlying molecular mechanisms of how apelin affects insulin resistance, however, are …

Background/Aims: Acute lung injury (ALI) is induced by a variety of external and internal
factors and leads to acute progressive respiratory failure. Previous studies have shown that …

Apelin is an endogenous peptide acting on the APJ receptor. It consists of several isoforms
characterized by different numbers of amino acids. The number of amino acids in the active …

Background and purpose: The aim of this study was to determine whether the apelin/APJ
system is altered in human cardiovascular disease by investigating whether the expression …

Apelin was initially isolated from bovine stomach and is an endogenous neuropeptide. It is a
native ligand of the apelin receptor (APJ). Some research has found that apelin peptides …

Apelin is an endogenous ligand of G protein-coupled receptor APJ. In recent years, many
studies have shown that the apelin/APJ system has neuroprotective properties, such as anti …

Apelin, a newly identified bioactive adipokine, has been found to play important roles in
multiple diseases, including diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular diseases with …

Apelin, a recently discovered peptide with wide tissue distribution, regulates feeding
behavior, improves glucose utilization, and inhibits insulin secretion. We examined whether …
