Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is an incretin hormone secreted by food intake from L cells of the ileum. GLP-1 contributes to blood glucose control through three main mechanisms: promoting glucose-dependent insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells, suppressing glucagon hypersecretion from pancreatic alpha cells, and delaying gastric emptying time.

A Gpr120-selective agonist improves insulin resistance and chronic inflammation in obese mice. [PDF]
It is well known that the ω-3 fatty acids (ω-3-FAs; also known as n-3 fatty acids) can exert potent anti-inflammatory effects. Commonly consumed as fish products, dietary supplements and pharmaceuticals, ω-3-FAs have a number of health benefits ascribed ...

Twelve week liraglutide or sitagliptin does not affect hepatic fat in type 2 diabetes: a randomised placebo-controlled trial [PDF]
_Aims/hypothesis:_ Glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-1-based therapies have been suggested to improve hepatic steatosis. We assessed the effects of the GLP-1 receptor agonist liraglutide and the dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP)-4 inhibitor sitagliptin on hepatic ...

Truncated glucagon-like peptide-1 and exendin-4 α-conotoxin pl14a peptide chimeras maintain potency and α-helicity and reveal interactions vital for cAMP signaling in vitro [PDF]
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GE P-1) signaling through the glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GLP-1R) is a key regulator of normal glucose metabolism, and exogenous GLP-1R agonist therapy is a promising avenue for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. To

The regions within the N-terminus critical for human glucagon like peptide-1 receptor (hGLP-1R) cell Surface expression [PDF]
The hGLP-1R is a target for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and belongs to the class B family of GPCRs. Like other class B GPCRs, the GLP-1R contains an N-terminal signal peptide (SP) and undergoes N-linked glycosylation, which are important for its ...
