Glucagon-like peptide-1 but not glucagon-like peptide-2 stimulates insulin release from isolated rat pancreatic islets [PDF]
Glucagon-like peptide-1 and glucagon-like peptide-2 are encoded by the m-RNA of pancreatic preproglucagon. They show high conservation in different species and substantial sequence homology to glucagon. Because no definite biological activity of these peptides has been reported, we investigated the effect of synthetic C-terminally amidated glucagon ...

Adult human biliary tree stem cells differentiate to β-pancreatic islet cells by treatment with a recombinant human Pdx1 peptide [PDF]
Generation of β-pancreatic cells represents a major goal in research. The aim of this study was to explore a protein-based strategy to induce differentiation of human biliary tree stem cells (hBTSCs) towards β-pancreatic cells.

Glucagon-like peptide-1, glucagon-like peptide-2, and lipid metabolism [PDF]
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is the best known incretin hormone able to potentiate glucose-induced insulin secretion. Moreover, GLP-1 is currently under intensive investigation as a potential crucial mediator of beneficial metabolic effects after bariatric surgery, because of its eating inhibitory, antiobesity, and antidiabetes effects.

Liraglutide and renal outcomes in type 2 diabetes [PDF]
In a randomized, controlled trial that compared liraglutide, a glucagon-like peptide 1 analogue, with placebo in patients with type 2 diabetes and high cardiovascular risk who were receiving usual care, we found that liraglutide resulted in lower risks ...

Homozygous carriers of the G allele of rs4664447 of the glucagon gene (GCG) are characterised by decreased fasting and stimulated levels of insulin, glucagon and glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-1 [PDF]
The glucagon gene (GCG) encodes several hormones important for energy metabolism: glucagon, oxyntomodulin and glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-1 and -2.

Glucagon-like peptide analogues for type 2 diabetes mellitus : systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]
Background Glucagon-like peptide (GLP-1) analogues are a new class of drugs used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. They are given by injection, and regulate glucose levels by stimulating glucose-dependent insulin secretion and biosynthesis ...

Efficacy and safety of high‐dose glucagon‐like peptide‐1, glucagon‐like peptide‐1/glucose‐dependent insulinotropic peptide, and glucagon‐like peptide‐1/glucagon receptor agonists in type 2 diabetes [PDF]
Abstract Glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonists (GLP‐1 RAs) have become agents of choice for people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) with established cardiovascular disease or in high‐risk individuals. With currently available GLP‐1 RAs, 51%‐79% of subjects achieve an HbA1c target of less than 7.0% and 4%‐27% lose 10% of body weight ...
