The bioactive peptides galanin, spexin and kisspeptin have a common ancestral origin and
their pathophysiological roles are increasingly the subject of investigation. Evidence …

Spexin (SPX), also called neuropeptide Q (NPQ), is a novel endogenous neuropeptide.
Spexin gene and protein are widely expressed in central nervous system and peripheral …

Spexin (SPX) is a 14 aa peptide discovered in 2007 using bioinformatics methods. SPX
inhibits food intake and regulates lipid, and carbohydrate metabolism. Here, we evaluate the …

Background and aims Spexin (SPX) is a novel peptide recently discovered as an important
regulatory adipokine in obesity and related metabolic diseases. The aim of the current study …

Spexin is a novel peptide implicated in obesity and energy homeostasis. The objective of the
current study was to evaluate the effect of spexin on blood pressure, insulin resistance, and …

Spexin, also identified as neuropeptide Q (NPQ), is a 14 amino acid peptide discovered by
bioinformatic methods. It has a conserved structure in many species and is widely expressed …

Spexin (SPX) is a novel adipokine related to many metabolic effects, such as gastrointestinal
movements, insulin and glucose homeostasis, lipid metabolism and energy balance. This …

Background. Spexin (SPX) is a novel peptide that is implicated in obesity and related energy
homeostasis in animals and adult humans. Little is known about its role in adults' overall …

Spexin (SPX) is a novel peptide with pleiotropic functions in adipose tissue including energy
balance adjustment, fatty acid uptake, and glucose homeostasis. SPX level is closely …

Recent preclinical and clinical studies have indicated that the galanin peptide family may
regulate glucose metabolism and alleviate insulin resistance, which diminishes the …
