The effects on gallbladder contraction of three structurally related peptides, secretin, glucagon and the vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) have been compared in urethane-anesthetized guinea pigs. Secretin and glucagon had no effect alone but augmented cholecystokinin (CCK)-induced contractions. VIP decreased CCK-induced contractions.

Humulus lupulus L.: Evaluation of Phytochemical Profile and Activation of Bitter Taste Receptors to Regulate Appetite and Satiety in Intestinal Secretin Tumor Cell Line (STC-1 Cells).
Mol Nutr Food Res

Department of Sciences, University of Basilicata, Potenza, 85100, Italy.
Scope: Inflorescences of the female hop plant (Humulus lupulus L.) contain biologically active compounds, most of which have a bitter taste. Given the rising global obesity rates, there is much increasing interest in bitter taste receptors (TAS2Rs).

Aim: To study metabolic molecules (adiponectin, adipsin, resistin, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), glucagon, secretin) of adipose tissue in atherosclerotic plaques (AP) and their associations with AP instability in men with coronary atherosclerosis.
Material And Methods: Metabolic molecules (adipocytokines and metabolic hormones) of adipose tissue can act as enzymes, hormones or growth factors in modulating insulin resistance and lipid and glucose metabolism and indirectly influence the course of the atherosclerotic process. This study included 48 men from whom 139 coronary artery (CA) samples were collected during coronary artery bypass grafting, after obtaining the informed consent.
Class B1 GPCRs: insights into multireceptor pharmacology for the treatment of metabolic disease.

The secretin-like, class B1 subfamily of seven transmembrane-spanning G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) consists of 15 members that coordinate important physiological processes. These receptors bind peptide ligands and use a distinct mechanism of activation that is driven by evolutionarily conserved structural features. For the class B1 receptors, the C-terminus of the cognate ligand is initially recognized by the receptor via an N-terminal extracellular domain that forms a hydrophobic ligand-binding groove.

Peptide-based drug discovery has surged with the development of peptide hormone-derived analogs for the treatment of diabetes and obesity. Machine learning (ML)-enabled quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) approaches have shown great promise in small molecule drug discovery but have been less successful in peptide drug discovery due to limited data availability. We have developed a peptide drug discovery platform called streaMLine, enabling rigorous design, synthesis, screening, and ML-driven analysis of large peptide libraries.

Purpose: Members of the secretin/glucagon family have diverse roles in retinal physiological and pathological conditions. Out of them, glucagon has been associated with eye growth regulation and image defocus signaling in the eye, both processes central in myopia induction. On the other hand, dopamine is perhaps the most studied molecule in myopia and has been proposed as fundamental in myopia pathogenesis.
