Glucagon Receptor Signaling and Lipid Metabolism

Frontiers in Physiology, 2019
Glucagon is secreted from the pancreatic alpha cells upon hypoglycemia and stimulates hepatic glucose production. Type 2 diabetes is associated with dysregulated glucagon secretion, and increased glucagon concentrations contribute to the diabetic ...

Risk of Non‐Arteritic Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy in Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension Patients Treated with GLP‐1 Receptor Agonists

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonists (GLP‐1 RAs) have demonstrated significant weight‐reducing effects and may offer benefits in idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH); however, recent concerns about the risk of non‐arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) have emerged.

The binding and activation of the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor by exendin-4 [PDF]

, 2010
Background and purpose Exendin-4 (EX4) has the same physiological properties as glucagon-like peptide-1 (7-36)amide (GLP-1). EX4 has 50% identity with GLP-1, with an extra nine amino acids at its C-terminus.

Small molecule glucagon release inhibitors with activity in human islets

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2023
PurposeType 1 diabetes (T1D) accounts for an estimated 5% of all diabetes in the United States, afflicting over 1.25 million individuals. Maintaining long-term blood glucose control is the major goal for individuals with T1D.

The Physiology of Glucagon [PDF]

Journal of Diabetes Science and Technology, 2010
This short review outlines the physiology of glucagon in vivo, with an emphasis on its neural control, the author's area of interest. Glucagon is secreted from alpha cells, which are a minority of the pancreatic islet. Anatomically, they are down stream from the majority islet beta cells.

Adipocyte‐Derived Leptolin Enhances Energy Expenditure and Prevents Obesity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We identified a novel adipokine, which we named leptolin. In humans, leptolin levels in white adipose tissue were positively correlated with exercise and negatively associated with body mass index. We observed elevated leptolin in serum from athletes and lower leptolin in serum from obese individuals.

Multicomponent Stapling of Glucagon‐Like Peptide‐1 Enables Receptor‐Guided PROTAC Delivery

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
We report a stapled glucagon‐like peptide‐1 (GLP‐1) analogue created via multicomponent tryptophan‐mediated Petasis reaction (TMPR). This strategy yields a stabilised peptide with superior helicity and improved potency. Conjugation to a bromodomain‐containing protein 4 (BRD4) degrader creates the first GLP‐1‐guided targeted protein degrader (PROTAC ...

Canagliflozin Alleviates Diabetic Glomerular Endothelial Injury via Melibiose in a Microbiota‐Dependent Manner

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Canagliflozin treatment reshapes the gut microbiota in DKD and elevates levels of melibiose, a metabolite derived from Roseburia intestinalis. Melibiose directly binds to and enhances the enzymatic activity of glyoxalase 1, leading to decreased methylglyoxal accumulation.

Multi‐Omics Profiling Reveals Immunomodulatory and Pro‐Regenerative Effects of a Graphene Oxide–Collagen Scaffold in Massive Rotator Cuff Tears

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A graphene oxide/collagen scaffold is developed for chronic massive rotator cuff tear repair. The scaffold improves compressive stability, supports reparative mesenchymal differentiation, and modulates the immune microenvironment. In chronic MRCT models, it reduces muscle degeneration, enhances tendon–bone regeneration, and improves functional recovery,
