Role of gut microbiota in the aetiology of obesity: proposed mechanisms and review of the literature [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The aetiology of obesity has been attributed to several factors (environmental, dietary, lifestyle, host, and genetic factors); however none of these fully explain the increase in the prevalence of obesity worldwide.

Intra-islet GLP-1, but not CCK, is necessary for β-cell function in mouse and human islets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) and cholecystokinin (CCK) are gut-derived peptide hormones known to play important roles in the regulation of gastrointestinal motility and secretion, appetite, and food intake.

Glucagon-Like Peptide 1 Receptors in Nucleus Accumbens Affect Food Intake

open access: yesJournal of Neuroscience, 2011
Central glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GLP-1R) stimulation suppresses food intake, and hindbrain GLP-1 neurons project to numerous feeding-relevant brain regions.

The Insulin Receptor Talks to Glucagon? [PDF]

open access: yesCell Metabolism, 2009
Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is not only a disorder of impaired insulin secretion but also glucagon oversecretion. However, the link between the two remains unclear. Is it possible that the latter is a consequence of the former? In this issue, Kawamori et al. (2009) have addressed this question by generating alpha cell-specific insulin receptor knockout mice.

Gq signaling in α cells is critical for maintaining euglycemia

open access: yesJCI Insight, 2021
Glucagon, a hormone released from pancreatic α cells, plays a key role in maintaining euglycemia. New insights into the signaling pathways that control glucagon secretion may stimulate the development of novel therapeutic agents.

Multiagonists of the “incretin axis” as a promising tool for managing cardiometabolic risk in visceral obesity

open access: yesРоссийский кардиологический журнал, 2022
Currently, the world experiences an increase in obesity prevalence, resulting in an increase in the incidence of diseases in which it is one of the leading factors, primarily type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

Integrating the inputs that shape pancreatic islet hormone release. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The pancreatic islet is a complex mini organ composed of a variety of endocrine cells and their support cells, which together tightly control blood glucose homeostasis.

Regenerating Rat Liver: Correlations Between Estrogen Receptor Localization and Deoxyribonucleic Acid Synthesis [PDF]

open access: yes, 1984
Estrogen receptor activity was quantitated in the cytosol and nucleus of normal rat liver and in regenerating rat liver at several time intervals after 75% hepatectomy. Cytosolic estradiol binding in regenerating liver decreases at 12, 24, and 48 h after

Paralog-divergent Features May Help Reduce Off-target Effects of Drugs: Hints from Glucagon Subfamily Analysis

open access: yesGenomics, Proteomics & Bioinformatics, 2017
Side effects from targeted drugs remain a serious concern. One reason is the nonselective binding of a drug to unintended proteins such as its paralogs, which are highly homologous in sequences and have similar structures and drug-binding pockets.

The effects of species ortholog and SNP variation on receptors for free fatty acids [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Although it is widely assumed that species orthologs of hormone responsive G protein-coupled receptors will be activated by the same endogenously produced ligand(s), variation in potency, particularly in cases where more than one receptor responds to the
