Glucagon-like Peptide-1 Receptor Signaling Modulates β Cell Apoptosis [PDF]
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) stimulates insulin secretion and augments beta cell mass via activation of beta cell proliferation and islet neogenesis. We examined whether GLP-1 receptor signaling modifies the cellular susceptibility to apoptosis. Mice administered streptozotocin (STZ), an agent known to induce beta cell apoptosis, exhibit sustained ...

The cardiovascular safety of incretin-based therapies: a review of the evidence [PDF]
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in people with diabetes and therefore managing cardiovascular (CV) risk is a critical component of diabetes care. As incretin-based therapies are effective recent additions to the

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist versus basal insulin in type-2 diabetic patients: An efficacy and safety analysis [PDF]
Purpose: To compare the effectiveness of glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist with that of basal insulin in type 2 diabetes patients. Methods: Type-2 diabetes patients who were insensitive to metformin were treated with glucagon-like peptide 1 ...

Glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor expression in the human eye [PDF]
Semaglutide is a human glucagon‐like peptide‐1 (GLP‐1) analogue that is in development for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. In the pre‐approval cardiovascular outcomes trial SUSTAIN 6, semaglutide was associated with a significant increase in the risk of diabetic retinopathy (DR) complications vs placebo.

Clinical pharmacology of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists
Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) are an important asset in the armamentarium for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (type 2 DM). Incretin failure is a critical etiopathogenetic feature of type 2 DM, which, if reversed, results in improved glycaemic control.

Differential effects of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists on heart rate [PDF]
While glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) are known to increase heart rate (HR), it is insufficiently recognized that the extent varies greatly between the various agonists and is affected by the assessment methods employed.

What doesn't kill you makes you stranger: Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (CD26) proteolysis differentially modulates the activity of many peptide hormones and cytokines generating novel cryptic bioactive ligands [PDF]
Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) is an exopeptidase found either on cell surfaces where it is highly regulated in terms of its expression and surface availability (CD26) or in a free/circulating soluble constitutively available and intrinsically active form.
