INTRODUCTION: The mitochondrial-derived peptides (MDPs) are a novel group of natural occurring peptides that have important signaling functions and biological activity. Both humanin and small-humanin-like peptide 2 (SHLP2) have been reported to act as insulin sensitizers and modu...
Cyclic peptides are reported to have antibacterial, antifungal and other bioactivities. Orbitides are a class of cyclic peptide that are small, head-to-tail cyclized, composed of proteinogenic amino acids, and lack disulfide bonds; they are also known in several genera of the plant family Rutacea...
Small-for-gestational-age (SGA) is a globally recognized public health concern. Infants born SGA may experience metabolic disturbances. This study elucidated the key regulatory factors and mechanisms underlying catch-up growth (CUG) and metabolic homeostasis in SGA infants. High-throughput target...
