Glucagon-Like Peptide-2

Annual Review of Nutrition, 2006
▪ Abstract  Multiple peptide hormones produced within the gastrointestinal system aid in the regulation of energy homeostasis and metabolism. Among these is the intestinotrophic peptide glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2), which is released following food intake and plays a significant role in the adaptive regulation of bowel mass and mucosal integrity ...

Glucagon-like peptide-1 and glucagon-like peptide-2

Best Practice & Research Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2004
The glucagon-like peptides (glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2)) are released from enteroendocrine cells in response to nutrient ingestion. GLP-1 enhances glucose-stimulated insulin secretion and inhibits glucagon secretion, gastric emptying and feeding. GLP-1 also has proliferative, neogenic and antiapoptotic effects on

Glucagon-like peptides

Diabetes, 1998
Proglucagon contains the sequence of two glucagonlike peptides, GLP-1 and GLP-2, secreted from enteroendocrine cells of the small and large intestine. GLP-1 lowers blood glucose in both NIDDM and IDDM patients and may be therapeutically useful for treatment of patients with diabetes.

Glucagon-Like Peptide 2

Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 1999
Glucagon-like peptide 2 (GLP-2) is a 33 amino acid peptide-encoded carboxyterminal to the sequence of GLP-1 in the proglucagon gene. Both GLP-1 and GLP-2 are secreted from gut endocrine cells and promote nutrient absorption through distinct mechanisms of action.

Metabolic Messengers: glucagon-like peptide 1

Nature Metabolism, 2021
Glucagon like peptide-1 (GLP-1), a peptide hormone from the intestinal tract, plays a central role in the coordination of postprandial glucose homeostasis through actions on insulin secretion, food intake and gut motility. GLP-1 forms the basis for a variety of current drugs for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity, as well as new agents ...

Glucagon and the Glucagon-Like Peptides

Pancreas, 1990
Glucagon and the glucagon-like peptides are encoded within a larger precursor, proglucagon. The proglucagon gene is expressed in the pancreas, intestine, and brain, giving rise to a single proglucagon mRNA transcript that is identical in all tissues. Tissue-specific posttranslational processing of proglucagon accounts for the different molecular forms ...

Glucagon Like Peptide-1 and Atherosclerosis

Cardiovascular & Hematological Agents in Medicinal Chemistry, 2012
Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus are at high risk for developing cardiovascular diseases. Traditional medicines for type 2 diabetes, such as sulfonylureas, pioglitazone, and insulin have glucose lowering effects; however, they also increase the frequency of hypoglycemia and/or body weight and thus may cancel out the benefits of glucose lowering ...

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor

Current Biology
Michael Krashes discusses glucagon-like peptide-1 receptors, their physiological role in glucose metabolism and the mode of action of their agonists that are used to treat obesity and were later shown to promote weight loss.

The Glucagon‐Like Peptides

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2006
Abstract:  The glucagon‐like peptides, GLP‐1 and GLP‐2, are cosecreted by intestinal L cells in response to nutrient ingestion. These peptides exert multiple effects on the gastrointestinal tract and pancreas to regulate the digestion, absorption, and assimilation of ingested nutrients, as well as providing feedback signals to the brain to modulate ...
