Abstract

Intestinal proglucagon is thought to be synthesized primarily by the distal gut, although the role of proglucagon-derived glucagon-like peptide I (GLP-I) as a major physiological incretin would seem to be associated with production in proximal small bowel. To better characterize the sites of production of proglucagon and GLP-I in the small intestine and evaluate nutrient regulation of small bowel proglucagon and derived peptides, we evaluated the effects of fasting for 72 h and subsequent refeeding or jejunal infusion of long-chain triglyceride (LCT) for 24 h on local expression of proglucagon in proximal and distal small bowel. Proglucagon mRNA abundance and cellular localization were determined and correlated with wet weight of bowel. In jejunum, proglucagon mRNA abundance decreased by 40% with fasting (P < 0.005) and increased with refeeding to levels similar to those of ad libitum-fed animals. In ileum, fasting resulted in a 20% decrease in proglucagon mRNA (P < 0.005); in contrast to jejunum, refeeding did not result in a significant rise in ileal proglucagon mRNA abundance from fasting values. In jejunum, signal intensity of proglucagon mRNA per cell, determined by in situ hybridization, decreased with fasting (P < 0.05) ...Continue Reading

Cardiovascular Biology of GLP-1

Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) plays a role in glucose metabolism, energy homeostasis, and inflammation suppression. GLP-1 receptor signaling has been shown to impact cardiovascular function. This feed focuses on the role of GLP-1 and GLP-1 receptor agonists on cardiovascular biology.
