doi: 10.1186/s12933-016-0414-5

Figure Lengend Snippet: Linagliptin (LGT) has neutral effects on body weight and aortic advanced glycation end-products (AGE). a WD feeding for 4 months resulted in significant weight gain in both the cohorts. b Plasma DPP-4 activity was significantly decreased with LGT treatment. c AGE immunostaining in aorta was significantly increased in WDC. LGT treatment did not decrease it significantly. Quantification and representative images shown. Values are mean ± SE. CDC control diet control, CDL control diet linagliptin, WDC western diet control, WDL western diet linagliptin. Post-hoc comparisons within a time point; *p < 0.05 CDC vs WDC; # p < 0.05 CDC vs CDL; † p < 0.05 WDC vs WDL. Scale bars represent 50 mμ

Article Snippet: 20 μL plasma was diluted in DPP-4 assay buffer and substrate, 200 M H-Ala-Pro-AFC (I-1680; Bachem), was added.

Techniques: Activity Assay, Immunostaining, Western Blot

Article Title: Serum CD26 levels in patients with gastric cancer: a novel potential diagnostic marker

doi: 10.1186/s12885-015-1757-0

Figure Lengend Snippet: CD26 serum levels in patients with gastric cancer ( n = 30) and in control healthy individuals ( n = 24). Patients serum CD26 levels: 557.7 ± 118.3 pg/mL; control serum CD26 levels: 703.4 ± 170.3 pg/mL. * p = 0.001 by unpaired t test

Article Snippet: The concentration of serum CD26 were analyzed using a specific immunoassays (Human CD26/DPP4 ELISA Kit, Boster biological technology, Pleasanton, CA) ELISAs were performed according to the manufacturer’s instructions: mean values of duplicated measurements were calculated and a sigmoid-shaped standard curve was determined by simultaneously analyzing a dilution series of standard samples.
