Anagliptin Vasorelaxation: Kv Channels and SERCA
2026-08-18
A 2025 Acta Diabetologica study identifies a direct vasorelaxant action of Anagliptin in phenylephrine-contracted rabbit aorta and links the response to voltage-dependent K+ channels and the SERCA pump. The findings extend research on SK-0403 beyond glycemic control while showing that the response was independent of the endothelium and canonical cyclic-nucleotide pathways.

CCK-8 Antagonism of Electroacupuncture Analgesia
2026-08-17
Han, Ding, and Fan showed that central CCK-8 dose-dependently suppresses electroacupuncture analgesia and that neutralizing endogenous CCK-8 can delay or reverse electroacupuncture tolerance in rats. The study is important because it connects a brain–gut peptide to opioid counter-regulation while distinguishing this effect from baseline nociception and serotonin- or norepinephrine-mediated analgesia.
