Abstract

Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) levels may be reduced in type 2 diabetes, but whether a similar impairment exists in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) has not been established. We studied this in a prospective cohort study of pregnant women (n = 144) during oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). GLP-1, glucose, and insulin were sampled at 30-min intervals during a 2-h 75-g OGTT, and indices of insulin secretion and sensitivity were calculated. In a nested case-control study, women with GDM (n = 19) had 12% lower total GLP-1 secretion area under the curve (AUC) compared with control subjects matched for age, ethnicity, and gestational age (n = 19), selected from within the lowest quartile of glucose120min values in our cohort. GDM had lower GLP-1 response in the first 30 min (19% lower GLP-130min and 17% lower AUC0-30min) after adjustment for possible confounders. Their glucose levels began to diverge at 30 min of the OGTT with increasing insulin levels, and by 120 min, their insulin levels were three times higher. In a secondary cohort of 57 women that included "high-normal" glucose120min values, low GLP-1 AUC0-30min was independently associated with lower indices of insulin secretion and sensitivity. In conclusion, we have obse...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.
