Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Receptor–Atrial Natriuretic Peptide Axis

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor-atrial natriuretic peptide axis: a novel mechanism for blood pressure regulation.

Glucagon-Like Peptide-1

Ma Glucagon-like peptide-1-(7-36) amide (GLP-1) is a human incretin hormone responsible for the release of insulin in response to food. Pre-clinical and human physiological studies have demonstrated cardioprotection from ischemia-reperfusion injury. It can reduce infarct size, ischemic left ventricular dysfunction, and myocardial stunning. GLP-1 receptor agonists have also been shown to reduce ...

Glucagon-like peptide-1: effect on pro-atrial natriuretic peptide in healthy males

The antihypertensive actions of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP1) receptor agonists have been linked to the release of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) in mice. Whether a GLP1-ANP axis exists in humans is unknown. In this study, we examined 12 healthy young males in a randomized, controlled, double-blinded, single-day, cross-over study to evaluate the effects of a 2-h native GLP1 infusion. Plasma ...

Direct and indirect mechanisms regulating secretion of glucagon-like peptide-1 and glucagon-like peptide-2.

The proglucagon-derived peptide family consists of three highly related peptides, glucagon and the glucagon-like peptides GLP-1 and GLP-2. Although the biological activity of glucagon as a counter-regulatory hormone has been known for almost a century, studies conducted over the past decade have now also elucidated important roles for GLP-1 as an antidiabetic hormone, and for GLP-2 as a stimula...

Equine glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor physiology

Background Equine metabolic syndrome (EMS) is associated with insulin dysregulation, which often manifests as post-prandial hyperinsulinemia. Circulating concentrations of the incretin hormone, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) correlate with an increased insulin response to carbohydrate intake in animals with EMS. However, little is known about the equine GLP-1 receptor (eGLP-1R), or whether GLP...
