Recent advances in vasoactive intestinal peptide physiology and pathophysiology: focus on the gastrointestinal system. [PDF]
Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), a gut peptide hormone originally reported as a vasodilator in 1970, has multiple physiological and pathological effects on development, growth, and the control of neuronal, epithelial, and endocrine cell functions ...

Continued efforts to translate diabetes cardiovascular outcome trials into clinical practice [PDF]
Diabetic patients suffer from a high rate of cardiovascular events and such risk increases with HbA1c. However, lowering HbA1c does not appear to yield the same benefit on macrovascular endpoints, as observed for microvascular endpoints. As the number of

Role of GLP-1 receptor agonists in endothelial function [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The leading cause of death for patients suffering from type 2 diabetes is macrovascular disease. Endothelial dysfunction is one of the earliest events identified in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis.

Introduction: In Sweden, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists are subsidized for diabetes indication but not for obesity. Unregulated off-label prescription of GLP-1 receptor agonists for obesity treatment may raise concerns about

Impact of Glucagon-like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists on Intestinal Epithelial Cell Barrier
While many types of diabetes medications are currently available, orally administered formulations of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists have recently been launched. Therefore, gastrointestinal epithelial cells will be increasingly exposed

Experimental and clinical pharmacology - Incretin mimetics and enhancers: mechanisms of action [PDF]
The incretins are peptide hormones secreted from the gut in response to food. They increase the secretion of insulin. The incretin response is reduced in patients with type 2 diabetes, so drugs acting on incretins may improve glycaemic control. Incretins

Effects of Semaglutide and Tirzepatide on Bone Metabolism in Type 2 Diabetic Mice
Background/Objectives: Type 2 diabetes and weight loss are associated with detrimental skeletal health. Incretin-based therapies (GLP-1 receptor agonists, and dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonists) are used clinically to treat diabetes and obesity.

Chronic GLP-1 receptor activation by exendin-4 induces expansion of pancreatic duct glands in rats and accelerates formation of dysplastic lesions and chronic pancreatitis in the Kras(G12D) mouse model. [PDF]
Pancreatic duct glands (PDGs) have been hypothesized to give rise to pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PanIN). Treatment with the glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-1 analog, exendin-4, for 12 weeks induced the expansion of PDGs with mucinous metaplasia and
