Chymostatin up-regulates endocan and inhibits NF-κBp65 activity. Chymostatin reduces proinflammatory cytokines (IL-1β and IL-6) and HMGB1. Chymostatin shows protective effects against Paraquat-induced acute lung injury. Chymostatin exhibits Chymostatin is a SARS-CoV-2 Mpro inhibitor. Chymostatin up-regulates endocan and inhibits NF-κBp65 activity. Chymostatin reduces proinflammatory cytokines (IL-1β and IL-6) and HMGB1. Chymostatin shows protective effects against Paraquat-induced acute lung injury. Chymostatin exhibits anticancer activity against lung cancer[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]... Read More | GIP (Gastric inhibitory polypeptide) (mouse) is a gastrointestinal hormone that is secreted by the intestinal K cells, and also expressed in and secreted from pancreatic islets. GIP (mouse) promotes insulin secretion from pancreatic β cells via the G-protein-coupled GIP receptor (GIPR). GIP (GIP (Gastric inhibitory polypeptide) (mouse) is a gastrointestinal hormone that is secreted by the intestinal K cells, and also expressed in and secreted from pancreatic islets. GIP (mouse) promotes insulin secretion from pancreatic β cells via the G-protein-coupled GIP receptor (GIPR). GIP (mouse) promotes pancreatic β cell proliferation and inhibits apoptosis. GIP (mouse) also exerts direct lipogenic effects on adipose tissue[1][2][3]... Read More |
