... the prognostic value of PR3 (proteinase 3) in patients post-AMI. We compared the prognostic value of PR3, an inflammatory marker, with an established marker NT-proBNP (N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide) post-AMI. We recruited 900 consecutive post-AMI patients (700 men; age, 64.6±12.4 years...

...Bernard Cheung; Raymond Leung 1. Adrenomedullin is a potent vasodilating peptide first isolated from phaeochromocytoma and adrenal medulla but also found in the heart, lungs and kidneys. It may also be a paracrine factor because endothelial and smooth muscle cells synthesize adrenomedullin as well...

... and glycylproline hydrolase activity at the brush border is known to be minimal. 3. Glycylproline absorption apparently occurred by transport of the intact peptide followed by its intracellular hydrolysis. However, more than one-third of absorbed glycine and one-eighth of absorbed proline returned to the lumen...
