    January 14, 2015 / BIOON / -- recently, in a review article published in the international journal pharmaceutical reviews, researchers from Leicester University said that polypeptides from fish body may be used to effectively treat cardiovascular diseases In this paper, researcher David Lambert said that for the first time, we have isolated a kind of hard bone fish tension peptide II (UII) from hard bone fish, which can activate a G-protein-coupled receptor called UT, so as to regulate the activation of a series of signal pathways including intracellular calcium; more importantly, this peptide can constrict blood vessels The researchers found that UII can regulate the biological activities of a series of systems including cardiovascular system, kidney and central nervous system Professor Lambert said that we have been studying this peptide named UII for many years, which can show a very interesting and potential pharmacological properties In the later stage, we will take this as the basis to involve new small molecule drugs, and evaluate it, so as to expect its early use in the treatment of a series of cardiovascular diseases.
