Adipocyte
Adipocytes, also known as lipocytes and fat cells, are the cells that primarily compose adipose tissue, specialized in storing energy as fat.

Adipose tissue
In biology, adipose tissue, body fat, or simply fat is a loose connective tissue composed mostly of adipocytes.
New!!: Apelin and Adipose tissue · See more »
Angiogenesis
Angiogenesis is the physiological process through which new blood vessels form from pre-existing vessels.
New!!: Apelin and Angiogenesis · See more »
Angiotensin
Angiotensin is a peptide hormone that causes vasoconstriction and an increase in blood pressure.
New!!: Apelin and Angiotensin · See more »
Apelin receptor
The apelin receptor (also known as the APJ receptor) is a G protein-coupled receptor which binds apelin and Apela/ELABELA/Toddler.

Blood plasma
Blood plasma is a yellowish coloured liquid component of blood that normally holds the blood cells in whole blood in suspension; this makes plasma the extracellular matrix of blood cells.

Blood pressure
Blood pressure (BP) is the pressure of circulating blood on the walls of blood vessels.
New!!: Apelin and Blood pressure · See more »
Blood sugar level
The blood sugar level, blood sugar concentration, or blood glucose level is the amount of glucose present in the blood of humans and other animals.
New!!: Apelin and Blood sugar level · See more »
Cardiac muscle cell
Cardiac muscle cells or cardiomyocytes (also known as myocardiocytes or cardiac myocytes) are the muscle cells (myocytes) that make up the cardiac muscle (heart muscle).

Chronic liver disease
Chronic liver disease in the clinical context is a disease process of the liver that involves a process of progressive destruction and regeneration of the liver parenchyma leading to fibrosis and cirrhosis.

Contractility
Contractility refers to the ability for self-contraction, especially of the muscles, or similar active biological tissue.
New!!: Apelin and Contractility · See more »
Diuresis
Diuresis is increased urination and the physiologic process that produces such an increase.
New!!: Apelin and Diuresis · See more »
Diuretic
A diuretic is any substance that promotes diuresis, the increased production of urine.
New!!: Apelin and Diuretic · See more »
Embryogenesis
Embryogenesis is the process by which the embryo forms and develops.
New!!: Apelin and Embryogenesis · See more »
Endoplasmic reticulum
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a type of organelle found in eukaryotic cells that forms an interconnected network of flattened, membrane-enclosed sacs or tube-like structures known as cisternae.
New!!: Apelin and Endoplasmic reticulum · See more »
Endothelium
Endothelium refers to cells that line the interior surface of blood vessels and lymphatic vessels, forming an interface between circulating blood or lymph in the lumen and the rest of the vessel wall.
New!!: Apelin and Endothelium · See more »
G protein
G proteins, also known as guanine nucleotide-binding proteins, are a family of proteins that act as molecular switches inside cells, and are involved in transmitting signals from a variety of stimuli outside a cell to its interior.
New!!: Apelin and G protein · See more »
Gastrointestinal tract
The gastrointestinal tract (digestive tract, digestional tract, GI tract, GIT, gut, or alimentary canal) is an organ system within humans and other animals which takes in food, digests it to extract and absorb energy and nutrients, and expels the remaining waste as feces.
New!!: Apelin and Gastrointestinal tract · See more »
Hormone
A hormone (from the Greek participle “ὁρμῶ”, "to set in motion, urge on") is any member of a class of signaling molecules produced by glands in multicellular organisms that are transported by the circulatory system to target distant organs to regulate physiology and behaviour.

Hypotension
Hypotension is low blood pressure, especially in the arteries of the systemic circulation.
New!!: Apelin and Hypotension · See more »
Hypothalamus
The hypothalamus(from Greek ὑπό, "under" and θάλαμος, thalamus) is a portion of the brain that contains a number of small nuclei with a variety of functions.

Insulin
Insulin (from Latin insula, island) is a peptide hormone produced by beta cells of the pancreatic islets; it is considered to be the main anabolic hormone of the body.

Large intestine
The large intestine, also known as the large bowel or colon, is the last part of the gastrointestinal tract and of the digestive system in vertebrates.
New!!: Apelin and Large intestine · See more »
Ligand
In coordination chemistry, a ligand is an ion or molecule (functional group) that binds to a central metal atom to form a coordination complex.

N-terminus
The N-terminus (also known as the amino-terminus, NH2-terminus, N-terminal end or amine-terminus) is the start of a protein or polypeptide referring to the free amine group (-NH2) located at the end of a polypeptide.
