Glucagon-like peptide 1 is a compound known to cause reduced food intake in mammals, though its action on feed intake in fish is unknown. The clear differences in the effects of GLP-1 on mammalian and teleostean glucose homeostasis suggest that we cannot assume a similar action of GLP-1 on feeding in mammals and fish. In this study the effects and specificity of centrally administered GLP-1 on ...

OBJECTIVE—The pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-1 (IL-1 ) generates pancreatic -cells apoptosis mainly through activation of the c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK) pathway. This study was designed to investigate whether the long-acting agonist of the hormone glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor exendin-4 (ex-4), which mediates protective effects against cytokine-induced -cell apoptosis, co...

background: the influence of hashimoto’s thyroiditis (ht) with subclinical hypothyroidism or euthyroid status on the alteration of glucagon-like peptide (glp)-1 and glp-2 levels remains uncertain. materials and methods: twenty-four untreated ht patients with subclinical hypothyroidism, 24 euthyroid ht patients, and 24 age- and gender-matched controls were enrolled in the study. the levels of gl...

Hyperglycaemia is commonly observed on admission and during hospitalization for medical illness, traumatic injury, burn and surgical intervention. This transient hyperglycaemia is referred to as stress-induced hyperglycaemia (SIH) and frequently occurs in individuals without a history of diabetes. SIH has many of the same underlying hormonal disturbances as diabetes mellitus, specifically absol...

Acute administration of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) and its agonists slows gastric emptying, which represents the major mechanism underlying their attenuation of postprandial glycemic excursions. However, this effect may diminish during prolonged use. We compared the effects of prolonged and intermittent stimulation of the GLP-1 receptor on gastric emptying and glycemia. Ten healthy men rec...

The presence of a circulating factor affecting gut growth can be surmised from the findings in gut isolated from the main food stream and not under direct nutritional influence. Thus when a Thiry Vella fistula is constructed and the crypt cell production rate counted in the fistula it can be shown to correlate with the degree of resection of the main bowel left in continuity. The only hormones ...

Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) promotes insulin secretion, inhibits glucagon and repairs pancreatic islet cell function to enhance proliferation regeneration. Furthermore, it includes a mechanism for weight loss angiocarpy protection. This study covers the comparison of GLP-1 agonists with DPP-4 inhibitors GLT-2 inhibitors, agonists, its research possibilities based on summary current clinical...

OBJECTIVES Reports have suggested a link between treatment with glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) analogs and an increased risk of pancreatitis. Oxyntomodulin, a dual agonist of both GLP-1 and glucagon receptors, is currently being investigated as a potential antiobesity therapy, but little is known about its pancreatic safety. The aim of the study was to investigate the acute effect of oxyntomod...

The glucagon-like peptide-1 is secreted by intestinal L cells in response to nutrient ingestion. It regulates the secretion and sensitivity of insulin while suppressing glucagon secretion and decreasing postprandial glucose levels. It also improves beta-cell proliferation and prevents beta-cell apoptosis induced by cytotoxic agents. Additionally, glucagon-like peptide-1 delays gastric emptying ...
