Elastin-Derived Peptides Are New Regulators of Insulin Resistance Development in Mice
7 Aug 2013
Abstract excerpt
Although it has long been established that the extracellular matrix acts as a mechanical support, its degradation products, which mainly accumulate during aging, have also been demonstrated to play an important role in cell physiology and the development of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. In the current study, we show that elastin-derived peptides (EDPs) may be involved in the development of insulin...
