Incretin effect determines glucose trajectory and insulin sensitivity in youths with obesity
In youths with obesity, the gut hormone potentiation of insulin secretion — the incretin effect — is blunted. We explored the longitudinal impact of the incretin effect during pubertal transition on β cell function and insulin sensitivity.

Exenatide improves hepatocyte insulin resistance induced by different regional adipose tissue
Obesity is resulted from energy surplus and is characterized by abnormal adipose tissue accumulation and/or distribution. Adipokines secreted by different regional adipose tissue can induce changes in key proteins of the insulin signaling pathway in ...

INCRETIN-BASED THERAPY AND CANCER: ARE THEY ENEMIES OR ALLIES? [PDF]
The link between cancer and diabetes is established but not fully understood. Incretin-based therapies have been increasingly used in the past decade for management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Role of fasting duration and weekday in incretin and glucose regulation
Fasting duration has been associated with lower fasting blood glucose levels, but higher 2-h post-load levels, and research has indicated an adverse effe ct of ‘weekend behavior’ on human metabolism.

Incretins or Anti-Incretins? A New Model for the “Entero-Pancreatic Axis” [PDF]
The role of incretins in glucose homeostasis is well known. Yet, in recent years, the sustained weight loss and rapid glycemic control following bariatric surgery has challenged our understanding of the intestinal-pancreatic interaction. This in turn led to the introduction of metabolic surgery, an innovative medical discipline in which a surgical ...

AN OVERVIEW OF INCRETIN-BASED THERAPIES: PHARMACOLOGY AND FUTURE PERSPECTIVES [PDF]
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is a gut-derived incretin hormone that is released upon nutrient ingestion stimulating insulin secretion, suppressing glucagon secretion, and suppressing appetite and food intake which contribute to glucose homeostasis ...

Genetic variants affecting incretin sensitivity and incretin secretion [PDF]
Recent genome-wide association studies identified several novel risk genes for type 2 diabetes. The majority of these type 2 diabetes risk variants confer impaired pancreatic beta cell function. Though the molecular mechanisms by which common genetic variation within these loci affects beta cell function are not completely understood, risk variants may

AMPK is involved in the regulation of incretin receptors expression in pancreatic islets under a low glucose concentration. [PDF]
The precise role of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), a target of metformin, in pancreatic β cells remains controversial, even though metformin was recently shown to enhance the expression of incretin receptors (GLP-1 and GIP receptors) in pancreatic ...
