    This study investigates pro-uroguanylin circulating levels in children with obesity and its relationship with obesity, sex and pubertal development. Sexual dimorphism exists in circulating pro-uroguanylin levels with respect to Body Mass Index.

    Circulating Pro-Uroguanylin Levels In Children And Their Relation To Obesity, Sex And Puberty.

    The intestinal expression of uroguanylin, a key satiety hormone, appears to be diminished in female pediatric patients in the setting of obesity.

    Immunohistochemical Staining for Uroguanylin, a Satiety Hormone, is Decreased in Intestinal Tissue Specimens From Female Adolescents With Obesity.

    In female adolescents without obesity, levels of pro-uroguanylin are higher than in those with obesity. Pro-uroguanylin secretion patterns differ from other circulating gastrointestinal peptides. In female adolescents with obesity, inflammation correlates with decreased pro-uroguanylin levels.

    Guanylin and uroguanylin, as well as their prohormones, do not seem to play a significant role in body weight regulation and glycemic control, suggesting that guanylin-family peptides do not show promise as targets for the treatment of obesity or diabetes.

    Guanylin and uroguanylin mRNA expression is increased following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, but guanylins do not play a significant role in body weight regulation and glycemic control.

    Both guanylin and uroguanylin trigger lipolysis in human visceral adipocytes. Given the lipolytic action of the guanylin system on visceral adipocytes, the herein reported decrease of circulating prouroguanylin concentrations in obese patients may have a role in excessive fat accumulation in obesity.

    Guanylin and uroguanylin stimulate lipolysis in human visceral adipocytes.

    Results demonstrate that GC-C and its ligands, guanylin and uroguanylin are downregulated in ulcerative colitis (UC), and this downregulation is more significant with aggravation of the clinical condition. Therefore, the GC-C signaling pathway may be implicated in the progression of UC.

    Expression of guanylate cyclase-C, guanylin, and uroguanylin is downregulated proportionally to the ulcerative colitis disease activity index.

    The simulations suggested that all missense SNPs considered as convergent deleterious caused some kind of structural change to the uroguanylin peptide. Additionally, four of these SNPs were also shown to cause modifications in peptide flexibility, possibly resulting in functional changes.
