Abstract
BACKGROUND Variability in glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-1 and GLP-2 plasma concentrations has been suggested in Celiac disease (CD), with inconclusive results. We assessed the association between serum levels of GLP-1 and GLP-2 and their duodenal receptor expression in children with and without CD. METHODS This was a two-part, cross-sectional and prospective cohort study. Group assignment, performed after duodenal samples for mRNA expression of GLP-1 receptor (GLP1R) and GLP-2 receptor (GLP2R), were taken during esophagogastroduodenoscopy. The control group consisted of patients with normal endoscopy and negative serology. The CD group consisted of patients with positive serology and endoscopy suggestive of CD. All had an oral glucose-tolerance test (OGTT). CD patients underwent a second OGTT after 6 months of a gluten-free diet (GFD). RESULTS The CD group included 12 patients; 7 males with mean age 9.2 ± 2.5 years. The control group included 10 patients; 5 males with mean age 12 ± 4 years, (p = 0.14). No differences were detected in basal or peak levels of GLP-1 or GLP-2 between control, naïve CD (before GFD) and treated CD (after GFD) groups. Expression of GLP1R and GLP2R mRNA was similar. Significant positive correlations between glucose and C-peptide secretion (r = 0.9, p < 0.01) and GLP-1 and GLP-2 (r = 0.8, p = 0.01) were detected in the control group. Significant negative correlations were found in the naïve CD group between GLP2R expression and glucose secretion (r = -0.68, p = 0.015) and GLP1R expression and serum GLP-1 (r = -0.7, p = 0.016). CONCLUSIONS Although no significant differences were detected in secretion patterns or gut receptor expression of GLP-1 and GLP-2 in healthy versus CD pediatric patients, the detected discrepancy between the ligand levels and their tissue receptors requires additional study.

Abstract
In the present study, the antinociceptive profiles of oxyntomodulin were examined in ICR mice. Oxyntomodulin administered intrathecally (i.t.) and intracerebroventricularly (i.c.v.) (from 1 to 5μg/5μl) showed an antinociceptive effect in a dose-dependent manner as measured in the acetic acid-induced writhing test. Moreover, cumulative response time of nociceptive behaviors induced by intraplantar formalin injection was reduced by i.t. or i.c.v. treatment with oxyntomodulin during the second, but not the first phase. In addition, the cumulative nociceptive response time after i.t. injection with substance P (0.7μg), glutamate (20μg), and pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α, IL-β or IFN-γ (100pg/5μl) was diminished by spinally or supraspinally administered oxyntomodulin. However, i.t. and i.c.v. treatment with oxyntomodulin did not affect latencies of the tail-flick and hot-plate paw-licking responses. Furthermore, the i.t. pretreatment with yohimbine (adrenergic receptor antagonist), but not naloxone (an opioid receptor antagonist) or methysergide (a serotonergic receptor antagonist), attenuated antinociceptive effect induced by oxyntomodulin administered i.c.v. in the writhing test. The i.c.v. or i.t. pretreatment with oxyntomodulin attenuated formalin-induced increase of phosphorlated ERK (p-ERK) expression in the spinal cord. Our results suggest that centrally administered oxyntomodulin shows an antinociceptive property in various pain models except for thermal-induced nociception. Furthermore, supraspinally administered oxyntomodulin-induced antinociception may be mediated by spinal adrenergic receptors, but not serotonergic and opioidergic receptors. Furthermore, the antinociception induced by oxyntomodulin appears to be mediated by reduced formalin-induced p-ERK expression in the spinal cord.

Abstract
Oxyntomodulin (OXM) is a peptide secreted from the L cells of the gut following nutrient ingestion. OXM is a dual agonist of the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP1R) and the glucagon receptor (GCGR) combining the effects of GLP1 and glucagon to act as a potentially more effective treatment for obesity than GLP1R agonists. Injections of OXM in humans cause a significant reduction in weight and appetite, as well as an increase in energy expenditure. Activation of GCGR is classically associated with an elevation in glucose levels, which would be deleterious in patients with T2DM, but the antidiabetic properties of GLP1R agonism would be expected to counteract this effect. Indeed, OXM administration improved glucose tolerance in diet-induced obese mice. Thus, dual agonists of the GCGR and GLP1R represent a new therapeutic approach for diabetes and obesity with the potential for enhanced weight loss and improvement in glycemic control beyond those of GLP1R agonists.

Abstract
The glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor is a key regulator of insulin secretion and a major therapeutic target for treatment of diabetes. However, GLP-1 receptor function is complex, with multiple endogenous peptides that can interact with the receptor, including full-length (1-37) and truncated (7-37) forms of GLP-1 that can each exist in an amidated form and the related peptide oxyntomodulin. We have investigated two GLP-1 receptor allosteric modulators, Novo Nordisk compound 2 (6,7-dichloro2-methylsulfonyl-3-tert-butylaminoquinoxaline) and quercetin, and their ability to modify binding and signaling (cAMP formation, intracellular Ca(2+) mobilization, and extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 phosphorylation) of each of the naturally occurring endogenous peptide agonists, as well as the clinically used peptide mimetic exendin-4. We identified and quantified stimulus bias across multiple endogenous peptides, with response profiles for truncated GLP-1 peptides distinct from those of either the full-length GLP-1 peptides or oxyntomodulin, the first demonstration of such behavior at the GLP-1 receptor. Compound 2 selectively augmented cAMP signaling but did so in a peptide-agonist dependent manner having greatest effect on oxyntomodulin, weaker effect on truncated GLP-1 peptides, and negligible effect on other peptide responses; these effects were principally driven by parallel changes in peptide agonist affinity. In contrast, quercetin selectively modulated calcium signaling but with effects only on truncated GLP-1 peptides or exendin and not oxyntomodulin or full-length peptides. These data have significant implications for how GLP-1 receptor targeted drugs are screened and developed, whereas the allosterically driven, agonist-selective, stimulus bias highlights the potential for distinct clinical efficacy depending on the properties of individual drugs.

Abstract
The prevalence of obesity is increasing rapidly and the associated morbidity and mortality has led to an urgent need for potential therapeutic targets to reduce appetite and food intake. Gut hormones released after eating that coordinate digestive activity and promote satiety are novel potential treatments for obesity. Oxyntomodulin is a gut hormone that is produced by the L cells in the small intestine and reduces food intake. It is timely to review some of the original literature on oxyntomodulin, to evaluate what is already known about the peptide, and also to set the recent findings on its effects on food intake and bodyweight into context.Recent studies have shown that long-term peripheral administration of oxyntomodulin to rats leads to reduced food intake and reduced weight gain. Studies in humans have demonstrated that acute administration reduces food intake by 19%. When given preprandially by subcutaneous injection three times daily, oxyntomodulin resulted in a reduction in food intake and mean weight loss of 2.8kg over 4 weeks. Oxyntomodulin thus represents a potential therapy for obesity.The mechanism of action of oxyntomodulin is not known. Current evidence suggests that it acts via the glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor. There may be an additional receptor in the gastric mucosa mediating its effects on gastric acid secretion. Although oxyntomodulin probably acts via the GLP-1 receptor, the two peptides differentially regulate food intake and energy expenditure in the mouse.Oxyntomodulin represents a potential therapy for obesity. Further work will help to clarify its mechanisms of action.

Abstract
Glicentin (GLIC) and oxyntomodulin (OXM or GLIC 33-69) are gut hormones which regulate digestion. They are known to reduce digestive secretions and to delay gastric emptying. Their biological activities on intestinal motility are still unknown. The effect of a systemic GLIC or OXM increase was investigated in rats on the food intake, the postprandial myoelectrical activity of small intestine and the orocaecal transit. An OXM or GLIC i.v. infusion was applied during the 5 min preceding food onset and during the first 15 min of food intake. This determined a three- to fourfold increase of the preprandial OXM-GLIC level. The OXM or GLIC plasma increase did not modify food intake. OXM infusion slowed down gastric emptying when the stomach contained 3/4 of the ingested food (before T 3 h). The quantity of food delivered in jejunum was subsequently smaller (P < 0.05). In the small intestine, the duration of postprandial myoelectrical activity (50-60 min g(-1) of ingested food) was reduced by 70% (P < 0.001) on duodenum or jejunum and by 54% (P < 0.01) on ileum in OXM-treated rats. An interdigestive motility profile was settled and an acceleration of both gastric emptying and transit rate was thereafter evidenced (after T 3 h). GLIC also reduced the duration of the postprandial myoelectrical activity on duodenum and jejunum (65 and 63% respectively, P < 0.05), but was not as efficient as OXM on ileum. In pathological states such as acute adult gastroenteritis, OXM and GLIC exhibit a two- to fivefold increase in their plasma concentrations. The present findings suggest that OXM and GLIC could, in that disease, contribute to exclude pathogens, due to their joined action on gut motility.
