| united states office of research integrity | An office of the united states public health service organised in june 1992 to promote research integrity and investigate misconduct in research supported by the public health service. It consolidates the office of scientific integrity of the national institutes of health and the office of scientific integrity review in the office of the assistant secretary for health. The ori is in the office of the assistant secretary for health and its director reports directly to the assistant secretary for health, department of health and human services.

| alpha-aminoacyl-peptide hydrolases | <enzyme> Registry number: EC 3.4.11. (12 Dec 1998) |
| anionic neutrophil activating peptide | <cytokine> A cytokine that activates neutrophils and attracts neutrophils and T-lymphocytes. It is released by several cell types including monocytes, macrophages, T-lymphocytes, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, and keratinocytes by an inflammatory stimulus. Il-8 is a member of the beta-thromboglobulin superfamily and structurally related to platelet factor 4. Acronym: IL-8 (12 Dec 1998) |
| antibiotics, peptide | Antibiotics whose structure contains one or more peptides, usually cyclic. They are generally effective against gram-positive bacteria and act by inhibiting peptidoglycan synthesis in bacterial cell walls. (12 Dec 1998) |
| atrial natriuretic peptide | <hormone> This cardiac hormone (28 amino acid residues) regulates salt and water balance in body fluids and blood pressure, it has potential as a medication to treat heart and kidney failure and the buildup of excess fluid in tissue. (09 Oct 1997) |
| bradykinin-potentiating peptide | <chemical> 2-l-tryptophan-3-de-l-leucine-4-de-l-proline-8-l-glutamine bradykinin potentiator b. A synthetic nonapeptide with the sequence pyr-trp-pro-arg-pro-gln-ile-pro-pro, which is identical to that of the peptide from the venom of the snake, bothrops jararaca. It acts as an inhibitor of kininase II and angiotensin I and has been proposed as an antihypertensive agent. Pharmacological action: angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, antihypertensive agents. Chemical name: Bradykinin potentiator B, 2-L-tryptophan-3-de-L-leucine-4-de-L-proline-8-L-glutamine- (12 Dec 1998) |
| brain natriuretic peptide | <hormone, protein> Brain peptide that induces diuresis, related to atrial natriuretic peptide. (18 Nov 1997) |
| calcitonin gene-related peptide | <protein> A second product transcribed from the calcitonin gene. Calcitonin gene related peptide is found in a number of tissues including nervous tissue. It is a vasodilator that may participate in the cutaneous triple response. It is a neuropeptide of 37 amino acids with structural homology to salmon calcitonin. Co-localises with substance P in neurons. It occurs as a result of alternative processing of mRNA from the calcitonin gene. The neuropeptide is widely distributed in neural tissue of the brain, gut, perivascular nerves, and other tissue. The peptide produces multiple biological effects and has both circulatory and neurotransmitter modes of action. In particular, it is a potent endogenous vasodilator. Intracerebral administration leads to a rise in noradrenergic sympathetic outflow, a rise in blood pressure and a fall in gastric secretion. Acronym: CGRP (05 May 2002) |
