This ring constrains the peptide into a receptor-active shape and improves resistance to enzymatic degradation compared with a flexible linear peptide
Indeed, we reported recently that whereas glucagon per se failed to augment FOC in HAP, in the presence of elevated cAMP (cilostamide added), glucagon increased FOC (Neumann et al
