摘要

The invention relates to novel compositions comprising modified apelin-13 peptide sequences designed to treat cardiovascular disease in subjects to whom they are administered, and which exhibit greater resistance to degradation, and equivalent or greater bioactivity than their wild type counterparts. The invention also relates to methods of making said compositions and using said compositions as pharmaceutically active agents to treat cardiovascular disease.
