There are seven relaxin family peptides that are all structurally related to insulin. Relaxin has
many roles in female and male reproduction, as a neuropeptide in the central nervous …

Relaxin has vital physiological roles in pregnant rats, mice, and pigs. Relaxin promotes
growth and softening of the cervix, thus facilitating rapid delivery of live young. Relaxin also …

We have investigated the anti‐inflammatory effects of Cinnamomum cassia constituents
(cinnamic aldehyde, cinnamic alcohol, cinnamic acid, and coumarin) using …

Relaxin is a hormone structurally related to insulin and insulin‐like growth factor, which
exerts its regulatory effect on the musculoskeletal and other systems through binding to its …

It is well established that adipose tissue, apart from its energy storage function, acts as an
endocrine organ that produces and secretes a number of bioactive substances, including …

To evaluate the possible mechanisms responsible for the anti-inflammatory effects of
baicalin or baicalein, phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA)-or N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl …

Abstract Relaxin, insulin-like peptide 3 (INSL3), relaxin-3, and INSL5 are the cognate
ligands for the relaxin family peptide (RXFP) receptors 1–4, respectively. RXFP1 activates …

Although substantial advances have been achieved in recent decades in the clinical
management of heart diseases, new therapies that provide better or additional efficacy with …

Reactive oxygen species produced by neutrophils contribute to the pathogenesis of focal
cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury and signal the inflammatory response. We have …

Aims The preconditioning-like infarct-sparing and anti-inflammatory effects of the peptide
hormone relaxin following ischemic injury have been studied in the heart. Whether …
