The therapeutic potential of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor analogs for neuroinflammation in the setting of asthma [PDF]

Exploration of Asthma & Allergy
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is a hormone that regulates blood glucose levels and is produced by the enteroendocrine glands in the large and small intestines in response to the consumption of foods that contain carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.

Effects of GLP-1 Receptor Polymorphisms on Adolescent Obesity

Acta Medica Iranica, 2023
Obesity is becoming a concerning disease in developing countries. Like other multifactorial diseases, genetics plays a substantial role in the development of this disease. We tried to investigate genetic variations (mutation/polymorphism) of GLP-1R gene

Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Gene Therapy [PDF]

Experimental Diabetes Research, 2011
Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) is a small peptide component of the prohormone, proglucagon, that is produced in the gut. Exendin-4, a GLP-1 receptor agonist originally isolated from the saliva ofH. suspectumor Gila monster, is a peptide that shares sequence and functional homology with GLP-1.

The associations of incretin hormone concentration with gestational diabetes mellitus

Сахарный диабет, 2016
Background: Enteropancreatic hormonal system disorder is a possible reason for β-cell dysfunction and carbohydrate metabolism disorder among pregnant women. However, no information is available about the state of enteroinsulin hormones [glucagon, glucose-

How glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists work

Endocrine Connections, 2021
In recent years, glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) have become central in the treatment of type 2 diabetes (T2D). In addition to their glucose-lowering properties with low risk of hypoglycaemia, GLP-1RAs reduce body weight and show ...

Discerning protein pools by selective staining with self‐labeling tags

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Cell surface proteins have an intra‐ and extracellular pool. Combining genetic fusion to self‐labeling tags that can be addressed with small molecule fluorophores allows separating these pools. We highlight recent developments and techniques for state‐of‐the‐art interrogation of cell surface proteins in the complex tissue setting.

Engineering peptides into antibodies—opportunities and strategies for therapeutic innovation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Peptides and antibodies occupy complementary therapeutic niches. Peptides recognize difficult targets in a compact format, while antibodies add specificity, long half‐life, and effector functions. This review examines strategies that merge both modalities—peptide grafting into loops, terminal and Fc fusions, and bioconjugation—highlighting how ...

GRK Inhibition Potentiates Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Action

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2021
The glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) is a G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) whose activation results in suppression of food intake and improvement of glucose metabolism. Several receptor interacting proteins regulate the signaling of GLP-1R such

New perspectives on the use of glucagon-like peptide 1 in diseases of the central nervous system

Current Issues in Pharmacy and Medical Sciences, 2023
Glucagon-like peptide 1 is a neuromodulatory peptide that regulates the carbohydrate metabolism. It can cross the blood-brain barrier, and, indeed, while mostly produced in the distal small intestine and colon, it is also synthesized in the nucleus of ...

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...
