The chromogranins (chromogranin A and chromogranin B), secretogranins (secretogranin II
and secretogranin III), and additional related proteins (7B2, NESP55, proSAAS, and VGF) …

The vgf gene (non-acronymic) is highly conserved and was identified on the basis of its
rapid induction in vitro by nerve growth factor, although can also be induced by brain …

TLQP-21, a peptide derived from VGF (non-acronymic) by proteolytic processing, has been
shown to modulate energy metabolism, differentiation, and cellular response to stress …

Gastrin is secreted following a rise in gastric pH, leading to gastric acid secretion. Sleeve
gastrectomy (SG), a bariatric surgery where 80% of the gastric corpus is excised, presents a …

The vgf gene (non-acronymic) is induced in vivo by neurotrophins including Nerve Growth
Factor (NGF), Brain Derived Growth Factor (BDNF) and Glial Derived Growth Factor (GDNF) …

Environmental enrichment (EE), a housing condition providing complex physical, social, and
cognitive stimulation, leads to improved metabolic health and resistance to diet-induced …

To address the possible involvement of VGF peptides in obesity and diabetes, we studied
type 2 diabetes (T2D) and obese patients, and high-fat diet induced obese mice. Two VGF …

VGF mRNA is widely expressed in areas of the nervous system known to degenerate in
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), including cerebral cortex, brainstem and spinal cord …

From the VGF precursor protein originate several low molecular weight peptides, whose
distribution in the brain and blood circulation is not entirely known. Among the VGF peptides …

VGF gene encodes for a neuropeptide precursor of 68 kDa composed by 615 (human) and
617 (rat, mice) residues, expressed prevalently in the central nervous system (CNS), but …
