Abstract

Xenin-25, a peptide co-secreted with the incretin hormone glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), possesses promising therapeutic actions for obesity-diabetes. However, native xenin-25 is rapidly degraded by serum enzymes to yield the truncated metabolites xenin 9-25, xenin 11-25, xenin 14-25 and xenin 18-25. The present study has examined the biological activities of these fragment peptides. In vitro studies using BRIN BD11 cells demonstrated that native xenin-25 and xenin 18-25 possessed significant (P
