Glucagon-like peptide 2 (GLP-2) is a proglucagon-derived peptide released by intestinal endocrine cells. However, its therapeutic potential is limited by rapid inactivation via dipeptidyl peptidase-IV. The elucidation of three-dimensional structures of G-protein-coupled receptors, including GLP-2 receptor, has facilitated the rational design of novel peptide therapeutics.

Background: In May 2020, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) asked 5 pharmaceutical companies to voluntarily recall some formulations of metformin due to contamination. This observational study sought to provide insight changes in hemoglobin A (HbA) levels when veterans switched to alternative antihyperglycemic agents following the recall.
Methods: This study included veterans aged ≥ 18 years with type 2 diabetes who were receiving health care from Veterans Integrated Service Network 6 and had an active metformin sustained-action (SA) prescription as of June 1, 2020.

Introduction: Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 is known to be involved in the progression of several fibrogenic diseases, but its association with oral submucous fibrosis remains unclear. This study aims to ascertain whether dipeptidyl peptidase-4 plays a role in the pathogenesis of arecoline-induced oral submucous fibrosis.
Methods: We assessed the expression of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 in arecoline-treated epithelial cells and the exosomes derived from cells.

Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) is an important target enzyme for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Increasing researchers try to screen DPP-IV inhibitory peptides while the cost of DPP-IV is high. In this study, PkDPP-IV was efficiently purified by acid precipitation, ammonium sulfate salting out and gel filtration chromatography with a purification of 283.

Cardiogenic shock (CS) carries a 30-50% in-hospital mortality rate, with little improvement in outcomes in the last decade. Challenges in improving outcomes are closely linked to the frequent late presentation or diagnosis of CS where the 'point of no return' has often passed, leading to haemodynamic dysregulation, progressive myocardial depression, hypotension, and a downward spiral of hypoperfusion, organ dysfunction and decreasing myocardial function, driven by inflammation and metabolic derangements. Novel therapeutic interventions may have varying efficacy depending on the type and stage of shock in which they are applied.
