Lipidized Prolactin-Releasing Peptide as a New Potential Tool to Treat Obesity and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: Preclinical Studies in Rodent Models

Obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are preconditions for the development of metabolic syndrome, which is reaching pandemic levels worldwide, but there are still only a few anti-obesity drugs available. One of the promising tools for the treatment of obesity and related metabolic complicatio...

We found that the effects of palmitoylated PrRP31 on food intake and BW but not on glucose intolerance require intact leptin signaling. Thus, palmitoylated PrRP31 analogs have potential as therapeutics for obesity and related metabolic complications.Lucia MrázikováBarbora NeprašováBarbora NeprašováAnna MengrAndrea PopelováVeronika StrnadováLucie HoláBlanka ŽeleznáJaroslav KunešJaroslav KunešLenka MaletínskáFrontiers Media S.A.articleprolactin-releasing peptiderodent modelsobesitytype 2 diabetesleptin resistanceTherapeutics.
