Optimizing expression, purification, structural and functional assessments of a novel dimeric incretin (GLP-1cpGLP-1). Biochimie 2024; 223:133-146. [PMID: 37931794 DOI: 10.1016/j.biochi.2023.10.020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/19/2023] [Revised: 10/28/2023] [Accepted: 10/31/2023] [Indexed: 11/08/2023]
Abstract
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is an incretin hormone that reduces postprandial glycemic excursions by enhancing insulin secretion. In this study, a new dimeric GLP-1 analogue (GLP-1cpGLP-1) was designed by inserting human insulin C-peptide (CP) in the middle of a dimer of [Gly8] GLP-1 (7-36). Then, the dimeric incretin (GLP-1cpGLP-1) was ligated to human αB-crystallin (αB-Cry) to create a hybrid protein, abbreviated as αB-GLP-1cpGLP-1. The constructed gene was well expressed in the bacterial host system. After specific chemical release from the hybrid protein, the dimeric incretin was purified by size exclusion chromatography (SEC). Finally, the RP-HPLC analysis indicated a purity of >99 % for the dimeric incretin. The secondary structure assessments by various spectroscopic methods, and in silico analysis suggested that the dimeric incretin has α-helical rich structure. The dynamic light scattering (DLS) analysis indicates that our dimeric incretin forms large oligomeric structures. This incretin analogue significantly reduced blood glucose levels in both healthy and diabetic mice while effectively triggering insulin release. The size exclusion HPLC also indicates the interaction of the new incretin analogue with human serum albumin, the main carrier protein in the bloodstream. Consistent with the results obtained from the biological activity assessments, this significant interaction indicates its potential as a viable therapeutic agent with a long-lasting effect. The results of our research represent a significant breakthrough in the successful design of an active incretin dimer capable of effectively controlling blood sugar levels and inducing insulin secretion in the realm of diabetes treatment.

Liu QK. Mechanisms of action and therapeutic applications of GLP-1 and dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonists. Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2024; 15:1431292.

Abstract
Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) are two incretins that bind to their respective receptors and activate the downstream signaling in various tissues and organs. Both GIP and GLP-1 play roles in regulating food intake by stimulating neurons in the brain's satiety center. They also stimulate insulin secretion in pancreatic β-cells, but their effects on glucagon production in pancreatic α-cells differ, with GIP having a glucagonotropic effect during hypoglycemia and GLP-1 exhibiting glucagonostatic effect during hyperglycemia. Additionally, GIP directly stimulates lipogenesis, while GLP-1 indirectly promotes lipolysis, collectively maintaining healthy adipocytes, reducing ectopic fat distribution, and increasing the production and secretion of adiponectin from adipocytes. Together, these two incretins contribute to metabolic homeostasis, preventing both hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia, mitigating dyslipidemia, and reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases in individuals with type 2 diabetes and obesity. Several GLP-1 and dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonists have been developed to harness these pharmacological effects in the treatment of type 2 diabetes, with some demonstrating robust effectiveness in weight management and prevention of cardiovascular diseases. Elucidating the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms could potentially usher in the development of new generations of incretin mimetics with enhanced efficacy and fewer adverse effects. The treatment guidelines are evolving based on clinical trial outcomes, shaping the management of metabolic and cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
Introduction Incretin-based drugs are extensively utilized in the treatment of type 2 diabetes (T2D), with remarkable clinical efficacy. These drugs were developed based on findings that the incretin effect is reduced in T2D. The incretin effect in East Asians, whose pancreatic β-cell function is more vulnerable than that in Caucasians, however, has not been fully examined. In this study, we investigated the effects of incretin in Japanese subjects. Methods A total of 28 Japanese subjects (14 with normal glucose tolerance [NGT], 6 with impaired glucose tolerance, and 8 with T2D) were enrolled. Isoglycemic oral (75 g glucose tolerance test) and intravenous glucose were administered. The numerical incretin effect and gastrointestinally-mediated glucose disposal (GIGD) were calculated by measuring the plasma glucose and entero-pancreatic hormone concentrations. Results and discussion The difference in the numerical incretin effect among the groups was relatively small. The numerical incretin effect significantly negatively correlated with the body mass index (BMI). GIGD was significantly lower in participants with T2D than in those with NGT, and significantly negatively correlated with the area under the curve (AUC)-glucose, BMI, and AUC-glucagon. Incretin concentrations did not differ significantly among the groups. We demonstrate that in Japanese subjects, obesity has a greater effect than glucose tolerance on the numerical incretin effect, whereas GIGD is diminished in individuals with both glucose intolerance and obesity. These findings indicate variances as well as commonalities between East Asians and Caucasians in the manifestation of incretin effects on pancreatic β-cell function and the integrated capacity to handle glucose.

Effects of Exogenous GIP and GLP-2 on Bone Turnover in Individuals With Type 2 Diabetes. J Clin Endocrinol Metab 2024; 109:1773-1780.

Abstract
CONTEXT Individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) have an increased risk of bone fractures despite normal or increased bone mineral density. The underlying causes are not well understood but may include disturbances in the gut-bone axis, in which both glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2) are regulators of bone turnover. Thus, in healthy fasting participants, both exogenous GIP and GLP-2 acutely reduce bone resorption. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to investigate the acute effects of subcutaneously administered GIP and GLP-2 on bone turnover in individuals with T2D. METHODS We included 10 men with T2D. Participants met fasting in the morning on 3 separate test days and were injected subcutaneously with GIP, GLP-2, or placebo in a randomized crossover design. Blood samples were drawn at baseline and regularly after injections. Bone turnover was estimated by circulating levels of collagen type 1 C-terminal telopeptide (CTX), procollagen type 1 N-terminal propeptide (P1NP), sclerostin, and PTH. RESULTS GIP and GLP-2 significantly reduced CTX to (mean ± SEM) 66 ± 7.8% and 74 ± 5.9% of baseline, respectively, compared with after placebo (P = .001). In addition, P1NP and sclerostin increased acutely after GIP whereas a decrease in P1NP was seen after GLP-2. PTH levels decreased to 67 ± 2.5% of baseline after GLP-2 and to only 86 ± 3.4% after GIP. CONCLUSION Subcutaneous GIP and GLP-2 affect CTX and P1NP in individuals with T2D to the same extent as previously demonstrated in healthy individuals.

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists and sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors, anti-diabetic drugs in heart failure and cognitive impairment: potential mechanisms of the protective effects. Front Pharmacol 2024; 15:1422740.

Abstract
Heart failure and cognitive impairment emerge as public health problems that need to be addressed due to the aging global population. The conditions that often coexist are strongly related to advancing age and multimorbidity. Epidemiological evidence indicates that cardiovascular disease and neurodegenerative processes shares similar aspects, in term of prevalence, age distribution, and mortality. Type 2 diabetes increasingly represents a risk factor associated not only to cardiometabolic pathologies but also to neurological conditions. The pathophysiological features of type 2 diabetes and its metabolic complications (hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, and insulin resistance) play a crucial role in the development and progression of both heart failure and cognitive dysfunction. This connection has opened to a potential new strategy, in which new classes of anti-diabetic medications, such as glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists and sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, are able to reduce the overall risk of cardiovascular events and neuronal damage, showing additional protective effects beyond glycemic control. The pleiotropic effects of GLP-1R agonists and SGLT2 inhibitors have been extensively investigated. They exert direct and indirect cardioprotective and neuroprotective actions, by reducing inflammation, oxidative stress, ions overload, and restoring insulin signaling. Nonetheless, the specificity of pathways and their contribution has not been fully elucidated, and this underlines the urgency for more comprehensive research.

Abstract
Obesity is a serious global health challenge, closely associated with numerous chronic conditions including type 2 diabetes. Anemarrhena asphodeloides Bunge (AA) known as Jimo has been used to address conditions associated with pathogenic heat such as wasting-thirst in Korean Medicine. Timosaponin A3 (TA3), a natural compound extracted from AA, has demonstrated potential therapeutic effects in various disease models. However, its effects on diabetes and obesity remain largely unexplored. We investigated the anti-obesity and anti-diabetic properties of TA3 using in vitro and in vivo models. TA3 treatment in NCI-H716 cells stimulated the secretion of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) through the activation of phosphorylation of protein kinase A catalytic subunit (PKAc) and 5'-AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). In 3T3-L1 adipocytes, TA3 effectively inhibited lipid accumulation by regulating adipogenesis and lipogenesis. In a high-fat diet (HFD)-induced mice model, TA3 administration significantly reduced body weight gain and food intake. Furthermore, TA3 improved glucose tolerance, lipid profiles, and mitigated hepatic steatosis in HFD-fed mice. Histological analysis revealed that TA3 reduced the size of white adipocytes and inhibited adipose tissue generation. Notably, TA3 downregulated the expression of lipogenic factor, including fatty-acid synthase (FAS) and sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1c (SREBP1c), emphasizing its potential as an anti-obesity agent. These findings revealed that TA3 may be efficiently used as a natural compound for tackling obesity, diabetes, and associated metabolic disorders, providing a novel approach for therapeutic intervention.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Lipotoxic injury from renal lipid accumulation in obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D) is implicated in associated kidney damage. However, models examining effects of renal ectopic lipid accumulation independent of obesity or T2D are lacking. We generated renal tubule-specific adipose triglyceride lipase knockout (RT-SAKO) mice to determine if this targeted triacylglycerol (TAG) over-storage affects glycemic control and kidney health. METHODS Male and female RT-SAKO mice and their control littermates were tested for changes in glycemic control at 10-12 and 16-18 weeks of age. Markers of kidney health and blood lipid and hormone concentrations were analyzed. Kidney and blood lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) levels were measured, and a role for LPA in mediating impaired glycemic control was evaluated using the LPA receptor 1/3 inhibitor Ki-16425. RESULTS All groups remained insulin sensitive, but 16- to 18-week-old male RT-SAKO mice became glucose intolerant, without developing kidney inflammation or fibrosis. Rather, these mice displayed lower circulating insulin and glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) levels. Impaired first-phase glucose-stimulated insulin secretion was detected and restored by Exendin-4. Kidney and blood LPA levels were elevated in older male but not female RT-SAKO mice, associated with increased kidney diacylglycerol kinase epsilon. Inhibition of LPA-mediated signaling restored serum GLP-1 levels, first-phase insulin secretion, and glucose tolerance. CONCLUSIONS TAG over-storage alone is insufficient to cause renal tubule lipotoxicity. This work is the first to show that endogenously derived LPA modulates GLP-1 levels in vivo, demonstrating a new mechanism of kidney-gut-pancreas crosstalk to regulate insulin secretion and glucose homeostasis.

Abstract
The risk associated with multiple cancers, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and all-cause mortality is decreased in individuals who meet the current recommendations for physical activity. Therefore, regular exercise remains a cornerstone in the prevention and treatment of non-communicable diseases. An acute bout of exercise results in the coordinated interaction between multiple tissues to meet the increased energy demand of exercise. Over time, the associated metabolic stress of each individual exercise bout provides the basis for long-term adaptations across tissues, including the cardiovascular system, skeletal muscle, adipose tissue, liver, pancreas, gut, and brain. Therefore, regular exercise is associated with a plethora of benefits throughout the whole body, including improved cardiorespiratory fitness, physical function, and glycemic control. Overall, we summarize the exercise-induced adaptations that occur within multiple tissues and how they converge to ultimately improve cardiometabolic health.

Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab 2024; 326:E182-E205. [PMID: 38088864 PMCID: PMC11193523 DOI: 10.1152/ajpendo.00278.2023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/28/2023] [Revised: 11/27/2023] [Accepted: 12/07/2023] [Indexed: 12/20/2023]
Abstract
Loss of insulin sensitivity, α- and β-cell dysfunction, and impairment in incretin effect have all been implicated in the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Parsimonious mathematical models are useful in quantifying parameters related to the pathophysiology of T2D. Here, we extend the minimum model developed to describe the glucose-insulin-glucagon dynamics in the isoglycemic intravenous glucose infusion (IIGI) experiment to the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). The extended model describes glucose and hormone dynamics in OGTT including the contribution of the incretin hormones, glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), to insulin secretion. A new function describing glucose arrival from the gut is introduced. The model is fitted to OGTT data from eight individuals with T2D and eight weight-matched controls (CS) without diabetes to obtain parameters related to insulin sensitivity, β- and α-cell function. The parameters, i.e., measures of insulin sensitivity, a1, suppression of glucagon secretion, k1, magnitude of glucagon secretion, γ2, and incretin-dependent insulin secretion, γ3, were found to be different between CS and T2D with P values < 0.002, <0.017, <0.009, <0.004, respectively. A new rubric for estimating the incretin effect directly from modeling the OGTT is presented. The average incretin effect correlated well with the experimentally determined incretin effect with a Spearman rank test correlation coefficient of 0.67 (P < 0.012). The average incretin effect was found to be different between CS and T2D (P < 0.032). The developed model is shown to be effective in quantifying the factors relevant to T2D pathophysiology.NEW & NOTEWORTHY A new extended model of oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) has been developed that includes glucagon dynamics and incretin contribution to insulin secretion. The model allows the estimation of parameters related to α- and β-cell dysfunction, insulin sensitivity, and incretin action. A new function describing the influx of glucose from the gut has been introduced. A new rubric for estimating the incretin effect directly from the OGTT experiment has been developed. The effect of glucose dose was also investigated.

Liraglutide treatment for the prevention of glucose tolerance deterioration in women with prior gestational diabetes mellitus: A 52-week randomized controlled clinical trial. Diabetes Obes Metab 2024; 26:201-214. [PMID: 37846555 DOI: 10.1111/dom.15306] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/15/2023] [Revised: 09/18/2023] [Accepted: 09/18/2023] [Indexed: 10/18/2023]
Abstract
AIM We investigated the effect of 52-week treatment with liraglutide, a glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist, on glucose tolerance and incretin effect in women with previous gestational diabetes mellitus (pGDM). MATERIALS AND METHODS Women with overweight/obesity and pGDM were randomized to once daily subcutaneous liraglutide 1.8 mg or placebo for 52 weeks. Participants underwent oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and isoglycaemic intravenous glucose infusion at baseline and at 52 weeks, and an additional OGTT after the drug wash-out. RESULTS In total, 104 women [age: mean ± SD, 38 ± 5 years; fasting plasma glucose (FPG): 5.5 ± 0.4 mmol/L; glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c): 33 ± 4 mmol/mol, bodyweight: 88.2 ± 14.8 kg, body mass index: 31.1 ± 4.3 kg/m2 ] were assigned to liraglutide (n = 49) or placebo (n = 55). Estimated treatment difference (ETD) for area under curve during OGTT was -173 (95% confidence interval -250 to -97) mmol/L × min, p < .0001, but after wash-out the difference disappeared [ETD 58 (-30 to 146) mmol/L × min, p = .536]. Liraglutide reduced FPG [ETD -0.2 (-0.4 to -0.1) mmol/L, p = .018], HbA1c [-2.2 (-3.5 to -0.8) mmol/mol, p = .018] and bodyweight [-3.9 (-6.2 to -1.6) kg, p = .012]. No change in the incretin effect was observed. The number of women with prediabetes was reduced from 64% to 10% with liraglutide vs. 50% with placebo [adjusted odds ratio 0.10 (0.03-0.32), p = .002]. CONCLUSIONS Treatment with liraglutide for 52 weeks improved glucose tolerance, FPG, HbA1c and bodyweight in women with overweight/obesity and pGDM. Progression to prediabetes while on drug was markedly reduced, but after a 1-week drug wash-out, the effect was lost.

Rectal sensitivity correlated with gastrointestinal-mediated glucose disposal, but not the incretin effect. Endocrinol Diabetes Metab 2024; 7:e463.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The mechanisms behind the diminished incretin effect in type 2 diabetes are uncertain, but impaired vagal transmission has been suggested. We aimed to investigate the association between the incretin effect and autonomic neuropathy, and the degree of dysglycaemia and duration of diabetes. DESIGN AND METHODS For a cross-sectional study, we included participants with either longstanding type 2 diabetes, recent onset, untreated diabetes and controls without diabetes matched for age, sex and body mass index. Autonomic nerve function was assessed with cardiovascular reflex tests, heart rate variability and sudomotor function. Visceral afferent nerves in the gut were tested performing rapid rectal balloon distention. An oral glucose tolerance test and an intravenous isoglycaemic glucose infusion were performed to calculate the incretin effect and gastrointestinal-mediated glucose disposal (GIGD). RESULTS Sixty-five participants were recruited. Participants with diabetes had rectal hyposensitivity for earliest sensation (3.7 ± 1.1 kPa in longstanding, 4.0 ± 1.3 in early), compared to controls (3.0 ± 0.9 kPa), p = .005. Rectal hyposensitivity for earliest sensation was not associated with the incretin effect (rho = -0.204, p = .106), but an association was found with GIGD (rho -0.341, p = .005). Incretin effect and GIGD were correlated with all glucose values, HbA1c and duration of diabetes. CONCLUSIONS Rectal hyposensitivity was uncovered in both longstanding and early type 2 diabetes, and was not associated with the incretin effect, but with GIGD, implying a potential link between visceral neuropathy and gastrointestinal handling of glucose. Both the incretin effect and GIGD were associated with the degree of dysglycaemia and the duration of diabetes. PREVIOUSLY PUBLISHED Some of the data have previously been published and presented as a poster on the American Diabetes Association 83rd Scientific Sessions: Meling et al; 1658-P: Rectal Hyposensitivity, a Potential Marker of Enteric Autonomic Nerve Dysfunction, Is Significantly Associated with Gastrointestinally Mediated Glucose Disposal in Persons with Type 2 Diabetes.

The effects of pomegranate consumption on glycemic indices in adults: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Diabetes Metab Syndr 2024; 18:102940. [PMID: 38194826 DOI: 10.1016/j.dsx.2024.102940] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2023] [Revised: 09/16/2023] [Accepted: 01/01/2024] [Indexed: 01/11/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Epidemiologic studies have shown that type 2 diabetes (T2D) is more prevalent worldwide; therefore, improving glycemic indices to prevent or control T2D is vital. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the effects of pomegranate consumption on glycemic indices have shown inconsistent results. Therefore, we aim to evaluate the impact of pomegranate consumption on fasting blood glucose (FBG), fasting insulin, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), and Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) in adults. METHODS A systematic literature search was performed using electronic databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus, up to May 2023 to identify eligible RCTs evaluating the effect of pomegranate consumption on glycemic indices. Heterogeneity tests of the included trials were performed using the I2 statistic. Random effects models were assessed based on the heterogeneity tests, and pooled data were determined as the weighted mean difference with a 95 % confidence interval. RESULTS Of 1999 records, 32 eligible RCTs were included in the current study. Our meta-analysis of the pooled findings showed that pomegranate consumption significantly reduced FBG (WMD: -2.22 mg/dL; 95 % CI: -3.95 to -0.50; p = 0.012), fasting insulin (WMD: -1.06 μU/ml; 95%CI: -1.79 to -0.33; p = 0.004), HbA1c (WMD: -0.22 %; 95% CI: -0.43 to -0.01; p = 0.037), and HOMA-IR (WMD: -0.30; 95%CI: -0.61 to -0.00; p = 0.046). CONCLUSION Overall, the results demonstrated that pomegranate consumption benefits glycemic indices in adults. However, further research with long-term interventions is required.

Colonic L-cell impairment in aged subjects with type 2 diabetes leads to diminished GLP-1 production. Diabetes Metab Syndr 2023; 17:102907. [PMID: 37980723 DOI: 10.1016/j.dsx.2023.102907] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2023] [Revised: 10/27/2023] [Accepted: 11/08/2023] [Indexed: 11/21/2023]
Abstract
AIMS Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) is produced by the L subtype of enteroendocrine cells (EECs). Patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) exhibit reduced incretin effect, but the pathophysiology and functional change of the L-cells remain unclear. Deciphering the mechanisms of the biological changes in L-cells under T2D conditions may assist in the research of gut-based strategies for T2D therapy. METHODS We investigated the fasting serum GLP-1 levels and the distribution of colonic L-cells in young and aged participants with and without T2D. Additionally, we established an aged male T2D Wistar rat model subjected to a long-term high-fat and high-fructose (HFHF) diet. Histological investigations and single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) analyses were performed to explore the mechanisms underlying functional changes in the colonic EECs. RESULTS We observed a decline in circulating GLP-1 levels and a reduced number of colonic L-cells in elderly patients with T2D. The mechanisms underlying impaired L-cell formation and disturbed GLP-1 production were revealed using aged T2D rats induced by a long-term HFHF diet. The scRNA-seq results showed that the transcription factors that regulate L-cell commitment, such as Foxa1, were downregulated, and the expression of genes that participate in encoding GLP-1, GLP-1 posttranslational processing, hormone secretion, and nutrient sensing was disturbed. CONCLUSIONS Taken together, the reduced L-cell lineage commitment and disturbed L-cell functions might be the major cause of the reduced GLP-1 production in aged populations with T2D. Our study provides new insights for identifying novel targets in colonic L-cells for improving endogenous GLP-1 production.

Abstract
Gut hormones orchestrate pivotal physiological processes in multiple metabolically active tissues, including the pancreas, liver, adipose tissue, gut and central nervous system, making them attractive therapeutic targets in the treatment of obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Most gut hormones are derived from enteroendocrine cells, but bioactive peptides that are derived from other intestinal epithelial cell types have also been implicated in metabolic regulation and can be considered gut hormones. A deeper understanding of the complex inter-organ crosstalk mediated by the intestinal endocrine system is a prerequisite for designing more effective drugs that are based on or target gut hormones and their receptors, and extending their therapeutic potential beyond obesity and diabetes mellitus. In this Review, we present an overview of gut hormones that are involved in the regulation of metabolism and discuss their action in the gastrointestinal system and beyond.

Abstract
Glucagon was initially regarded as a hyperglycemic substance; however, recent research has revealed its broader role in metabolism, encompassing effects on glucose, amino acids (AAs), and lipid metabolism. Notably, the interplay of glucagon with nutrient intake, particularly of AAs, and non-nutrient components is central to its secretion. Fasting and postprandial hyperglucagonemia have long been linked to the development and progression of type 2 diabetes (T2DM). However, recent studies have brought to light the positive impact of glucagon agonists on lipid metabolism and energy homeostasis. This review explores the multifaceted actions of glucagon, focusing on its regulation, signaling pathways, and effects on glucose, AAs, and lipid metabolism. The interplay between glucagon and other hormones, including insulin and incretins, is examined to provide a mechanistic understanding of its functions. Notably, the liver-α-cell axis, which involves glucagon and amino acids, emerges as a critical aspect of metabolic regulation. The dysregulation of glucagon secretion and its impact on conditions such as T2DM are discussed. The review highlights the potential therapeutic applications of targeting the glucagon pathway in the treatment of metabolic disorders.

Abstract
Despite recent advancements in the field of neuro-ophthalmology, the rising rates of neurological and ophthalmological conditions, mismatches between supply and demand of clinicians, and an aging population underscore the urgent need to explore new therapeutic approaches within the field. Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs), traditionally used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes, are becoming increasingly appreciated for their diverse applications. Recently, GLP-1RAs have been approved for the treatment of obesity and recognized for their cardioprotective effects. Emerging evidence indicates some GLP-1RAs can cross the blood-brain barrier and may have neuroprotective effects. Therefore, this article aims to review the literature on the neurologic and neuro-ophthalmic role of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1). This article describes GLP-1 peptide characteristics and the mechanisms mediating its known role in increasing insulin, decreasing glucagon, delaying gastric emptying, and promoting satiety. This article identifies the sources and targets of GLP-1 in the brain and review the mechanisms which mediate its neuroprotective effects, as well as implications for Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD). Furthermore, the preclinical works which unravel the effects of GLP-1 in ocular dynamics and the preclinical literature regarding GLP-1RA use in the management of several neuro-ophthalmic conditions, including diabetic retinopathy (DR), glaucoma, and idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) are discussed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Bariatric surgery is currently the most effective treatment for obesity, and procedures such as Roux-en Y gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy (SG) also result in rapid improvements in insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance. In addition, these procedures cause changes in the secretion of various gut-derived hormones. The role these hormones play in the mechanism of the beneficial effects of bariatric surgery is still debated, but nonetheless, their importance provides inspiration for novel obesity-targeted pharmacotherapies. METHODS Male Sprague Dawley rats were fed either regular chow or a cafeteria diet to induce obesity. A sub-group of the obese animals then underwent either sham surgery or SG. RESULTS Following a 4-week recovery period, SG rats weighed significantly less than obese or sham-operated rats. Improvements in glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity also occurred in the SG group, but these were not always statistically significant. We measured the intracellular lipid content of liver samples and found that obese rats showed signs of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, which were significantly ameliorated by SG. There were significantly higher glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) responses to a standard mixed meal in the SG group, as well as paradoxically higher glucagon secretion. CONCLUSION These data highlight the need for more specific anti-glucagon antibodies to characterize the changes in proglucagon-derived peptide concentrations that occur following SG. Further studies are required to determine whether these peptides contribute to the therapeutic effects of SG.

Abstract
The world is experiencing reflections of the intersection of two pandemics: Obesity and coronavirus disease 2019. The prevalence of obesity has tripled since 1975 worldwide, representing substantial public health costs due to its comorbidities. The adipose tissue is the initial site of obesity impairments. During excessive energy intake, it undergoes hyperplasia and hypertrophy until overt inflammation and insulin resistance turn adipocytes into dysfunctional cells that send lipotoxic signals to other organs. The pancreas is one of the organs most affected by obesity. Once lipotoxicity becomes chronic, there is an increase in insulin secretion by pancreatic beta cells, a surrogate for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). These alterations threaten the survival of the pancreatic islets, which tend to become dysfunctional, reaching exhaustion in the long term. As for the liver, lipotoxicity favors lipogenesis and impairs beta-oxidation, resulting in hepatic steatosis. This silent disease affects around 30% of the worldwide population and can evolve into end-stage liver disease. Although therapy for hepatic steatosis remains to be defined, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) activation copes with T2DM management. Peroxisome PPARs are transcription factors found at the intersection of several metabolic pathways, leading to insulin resistance relief, improved thermogenesis, and expressive hepatic steatosis mitigation by increasing mitochondrial beta-oxidation. This review aimed to update the potential of PPAR agonists as targets to treat metabolic diseases, focusing on adipose tissue plasticity and hepatic and pancreatic remodeling.

Abstract
Traditionally a disease of adults, type 2 diabetes (T2D) has been increasingly diagnosed in youth, particularly among adolescents and young adults of minority ethnic groups. Especially, during the recent COVID-19 pandemic, obesity and prediabetes have surged not only in minority ethnic groups but also in the general population, further raising T2D risk. Regarding its pathogenesis, a gradually increasing insulin resistance due to central adiposity combined with a progressively defective β-cell function are the main culprits. Especially in youth-onset T2D, a rapid β-cell activity decline has been observed, leading to higher treatment failure rates, and early complications. In addition, it is well established that both the quantity and quality of food ingested by individuals play a key role in T2D pathogenesis. A chronic imbalance between caloric intake and expenditure together with impaired micronutrient intake can lead to obesity and insulin resistance on one hand, and β-cell failure and defective insulin production on the other. This review summarizes our evolving understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms involved in defective insulin secretion by the pancreatic islets in youth- and adult-onset T2D and, further, of the role various micronutrients play in these pathomechanisms. This knowledge is essential if we are to curtail the serious long-term complications of T2D both in pediatric and adult populations.

Abstract
Diabetes is a complex and multifactorial disease that affects millions of people worldwide, reducing the quality of life significantly, and results in grave consequences for our health care system. In type 2 diabetes (T2D), the lack of β-cell compensatory mechanisms overcoming peripherally developed insulin resistance is a paramount factor leading to disturbed blood glucose levels and lipid metabolism. Impaired β-cell functions and insulin resistance have been studied extensively resulting in a good understanding of these pathways but much less is known about interorgan crosstalk, which we define as signaling between tissues by secreted factors. Besides hormones and organokines, dysregulated blood glucose and long-lasting hyperglycemia in T2D is associated with changes in metabolism with metabolites from different tissues contributing to the development of this disease. Recent data suggest that metabolites, such as lipids including free fatty acids and amino acids, play important roles in the interorgan crosstalk during the development of T2D. In general, metabolic remodeling affects physiological homeostasis and impacts the development of T2D. Hence, we highlight the importance of metabolic interorgan crosstalk in this review to gain enhanced knowledge of the pathophysiology of T2D, which may lead to new therapeutic approaches to treat this disease.

Abstract
PURPOSE Active acromegaly is associated with impaired glucose metabolism, which improves upon treatment. Treatment options include surgery, medical therapy with somatostatin analogues (SSA) and Pegvisomant (PEG), and irradiation. The objective of the study was to describe the differential effect of various treatment regimens on the secretion of glucose, insulin, glucagon, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) in patients with acromegaly. METHODS 23 surgically treated, non-diabetic patients with acromegaly and 12 healthy controls underwent an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and subsequently isoglycaemic intravenous glucose infusion on a separate day. Baseline hormone concentrations, time-to-peak and area under the curve (AUC) on the OGTT-day and incretin effect were compared according to treatment regimens. RESULTS The patients treated with SSA (N = 15) had impaired GIP-response (AUC, P = 0.001), and numerical impairment of all other hormone responses (P > 0.3). Patients co-treated with PEG (SSA + PEG, N = 4) had increased secretion of insulin and glucagon compared to patients only treated with SSA (SSA ÷ PEG, N = 11) (insulinAUC mean ± SEM, SSA + PEG 49 ± 8.3 nmol/l*min vs SSA ÷ PEG 25 ± 3.4, P = 0.007; glucagonAUC, SSA + PEG 823 ± 194 pmol/l*min vs SSA ÷ PEG 332 ± 69, P = 0.009). GIP secretion remained significantly impaired, whereas GLP-1 secretion was numerically increased with PEG (SSA + PEG 3088 ± 366 pmol/l*min vs SSA ÷ PEG 2401 ± 239, P = 0.3). No difference was found in patients treated with/without radiotherapy nor substituted or not with hydrocortisone. CONCLUSION SSA impaired the insulin, glucagon, and incretin hormone secretions. Co-treatment with PEG seemed to counteract the somatostatinergic inhibition of the glucagon and insulin response to OGTT. We speculate that PEG may exert its action through GH-receptors on pancreatic δ-cells. Clinical trial registration NCT02005978.

Abstract
Aim To study the adipokine profile in young people with hypercholesterolemia and low-density lipoproteins (LDL) and to evaluate the relationship between concentrations of LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) and metabolic hormones in men and women younger than 45 years. Material and methods This study included 304 subjects (group 1, 56 men with LDL-C concentration <2.1 mmol/l; group 2, 87 men with LDL-C concentration ≥4.2 mmol/l; group 3, 90 women with LDL-C concentration <2.1 mmol/l; and group 4, 71 women with LDL-C concentration ≥4.2 mmol/l). Serum concentrations of total cholesterol (C), triglycerides (TG), high-density lipoprotein C, and glucose were measured by an enzymatic assay with ThermoFisher Scientific kits and a KonelabPrime 30i biochemical analyzer. LDL-C was calculated using the Friedewald’s formula. Concentrations of amylin, C-peptide, ghrelin, glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide, glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), glucagon, interleukin 6, insulin, leptin, monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP-1), pancreatic polypeptide (PP), peptide YY (PYY), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), adiponectin, adipsin, lipocalin-2, plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1), and resistin were measured by multiplex analysis (Human Metabolic Hormone V3 and Human Adipokine Panel 1 panels).Results The groups differed in traditional cardiometabolic risk factors. In the male and female patient groups with LDL-C ≥4.2 mmol/l, the prevalence of impaired fasting glucose, incidence of insulin resistance, TG, and TC were higher than in subjects with LDL-C <2.1 mmol/l. The odds for the presence of LDL hypercholesterolemia (LDL-C ≥4.2 mmol/l) were significantly associated with increased concentrations of C-peptide and lipocalin-2 in men and with increased concentrations of lipocalin-2 and decreased concentrations of GLP-1 in women (р<0.05).Conclusion Increased concentrations of LDL-C in young people were associated with changes in the adipokine profile and with the presence of metabolic syndrome components. These results were confirmed by changes in blood concentrations of metabolic markers that characterize disorders of metabolic processes.

Abstract
The incretin hormones: glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) are important regulators of many aspects of metabolism including insulin secretion. Their receptors (GIPR and GLP-1R) are closely related members of the secretin class of G-protein-coupled receptors. As both receptors are expressed on pancreatic β-cells there is at least the hypothetical possibility that they may form heteromers. In the present study, we investigated GIPR/GLP-1R heteromerization and the impact of GIPR on GLP-1R-mediated signaling and vice versa in HEK-293 cells. Real-time fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) and bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET) saturation experiments confirm that GLP-1R and GIPR form heteromers. Stimulation with 1 μM GLP-1 caused an increase in both FRET and BRET ratio, whereas stimulation with 1 μM GIP caused a decrease. The only other ligand tested to cause a significant change in BRET signal was the GLP-1 metabolite, GLP-1 (9-36). GIPR expression had no significant effect on mini-Gs recruitment to GLP-1R but significantly inhibited GLP-1 stimulated mini-Gq and arrestin recruitment. In contrast, the presence of GLP-1R improved GIP stimulated mini-Gs and mini-Gq recruitment to GIPR. These data support the hypothesis that GIPR and GLP-1R form heteromers with differential consequences on cell signaling.

Abstract
Context and objective Obesity and inactivity are risk factors for developing impaired glucose tolerance characterized by insulin resistance and reduced beta-cell function. The stimulatory effect of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) on insulin secretion is also impaired in obese, inactive individuals. The aim of this study was to investigate whether endurance training influences beta-cell sensitivity to GLP-1. Participants and intervention Twenty-four female participants, age 46 ± 2 years, body mass index 32.4 ± 0.9 kg/m2, and maximal oxygen consumption 24.7 ± 0.8 mL/kg/min participated in a 10-week exercise training study. Methods Beta-cell sensitivity to GLP-1 was assessed in a subset of participants (n = 6) during a 120-minute hyperglycemic glucose clamp (8.5 mM) including a 1-hour GLP-1 (7-36 amide) infusion (0.4 pmol/kg/min). Changes in glucose tolerance, body composition, and cardiorespiratory fitness were assessed by oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTTs), dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry scans, magnetic resonance scans, and maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max) tests, respectively. Results The c-peptide response to infusion of GLP-1 increased 28 ± 3% (P < 0.05) toward the end of the hyperglycemic clamp. The insulin response remained unchanged. Training improved glucose tolerance and reduced GLP-1, insulin, and glucagon levels during the OGTTs. Training increased VO2max (from 24.7 ± 0.8 to 27.0 ± 0.7 mL/kg/min; P < 0.05) and reduced visceral fat volume (from 4176 ± 265 to 3888 ± 266 cm3; P < 0.01). Conclusion Along with improved glycemic control, endurance training improved beta-cell sensitivity to GLP-1 in overweight women. The study was deemed not to constitute a clinical trial and was not registered as such.

Abstract
There are numerous cultivars of tea (Camellia sinensis L.), but the differences in their anti-hyperglycemic-related effects are largely unknown. The inhibition of the dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP)-IV enzyme plays an essential role in controlling hyperglycemia in diabetes by blocking the degradation of incretin hormones, which is necessary for insulin secretion. In this study, we examined the DPP-IV inhibitory activity of leaf extracts from diverse Japanese green tea cultivars. The inhibitory rates differed among tea extracts. Metabolic profiling (MP), using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, of all cultivars revealed compositional differences among cultivars according to their DPP-IV inhibitory capacity. Epigallocatechin-3-O-(3-O-methyl)gallate, kaempferol-3-O-rutinoside, myricetin-3-O-glucoside/galactoside, and theogallin were newly identified as DPP-IV inhibitors. The bioactivity of a tea extract was potentiated by adding these ingredients in combination. Our results show that MP is a useful approach for evaluating the DPP-IV inhibitory potency of green tea and for determining bioactivity-related ingredients and combinations.

Abstract
Background Eating behavior is a major factor in type 2 diabetes. We investigated the different responses of glucose-regulating hormones to cold and hot glucose solutions in normal subjects and patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods In this crossover, self-controlled study, normal subjects (N = 19) and patients with type 2 diabetes (N = 22) were recruited and randomly assigned to a hot (50 °C) or a cold (8 °C) oral glucose-tolerance test (OGTT). The subsequent day, they were switched to the OGTT at the other temperature. Blood glucose, insulin, GIP, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), and cortisol were measured at 0, 5, 10, 30, 60, and 120 min during each OGTT. After the hot OGTT, all subjects ingested hot (>42 °C) food and water for that day, and ingested food and water at room temperature (≤24 °C) for the day after cold OGTT. All participants had continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) throughout the study. Results Compared to cold OGTT, blood glucose was significantly higher with hot OGTT in both groups (both P < 0.05). However, insulin and GLP-1 levels were significantly higher in hot OGTT in normal subjects only (both P < 0.05). The GIP and cortisol responses did not differ with temperature in both groups. CGM showed that normal subjects had significantly higher 24-h mean glucose (MBG) (6.11 ± 0.13 vs. 5.84 ± 0.11 mmol/L, P = 0.021), and standard deviation of MBG with hot meals (0.59 ± 0.06 vs. 0.48 ± 0.05 mmol/L, P = 0.043), T2DM patients had higher MBG only (8.46 ± 0.38 vs. 8.88 ± 0.39 mmol/L, P = 0.022). Conclusions Food temperature is an important factor in glucose absorption and GLP-1 response. These food temperatures elicited differences are lost in type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) potentiates glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS). While dozens of compounds stimulate GLP-1 secretion, few inhibit. Reduced GLP-1 secretion and impaired GSIS occur in chronic inflammation. Lysophosphatidic acids (LPAs) are bioactive phospholipids elevated in inflammation. The aim of this study was to test whether LPA inhibits GLP-1 secretion in vitro and in vivo. GLUTag L-cells were treated with various LPA species, with or without LPA receptor (LPAR) antagonists, and media GLP-1 levels, cellular cyclic AMP and calcium ion concentrations, and DPP4 activity levels were analyzed. Mice were injected with LPA, with or without LPAR antagonists, and serum GLP-1 and DPP4 activity were measured. GLUTag GLP-1 secretion was decreased ~70–90% by various LPAs. GLUTag expression of Lpar1, 2, and 3 was orders of magnitude higher than Lpar4, 5, and 6, implicating the former group in this effect. In agreement, inhibition of GLP-1 secretion was reversed by the LPAR1/3 antagonist Ki16425, the LPAR1 antagonists AM095 and AM966, or the LPAR2 antagonist LPA2-antagonist 1. We hypothesized involvement of Gαi-mediated LPAR activity, and found that intracellular cyclic AMP and calcium ion concentrations were decreased by LPA, but restored by Ki16425. Mouse LPA injection caused an ~50% fall in circulating GLP-1, although only LPAR1 or LPAR1/3 antagonists, but not LPAR2 antagonism, prevented this. GLUTag L-cell and mouse serum DPP4 activity was unchanged by LPA or LPAR antagonists. LPA therefore impairs GLP-1 secretion in vitro and in vivo through Gαi-coupled LPAR1/3 signaling, providing a new mechanism linking inflammation with impaired GSIS.

Abstract
A growing body of evidence indicates that dietary polyphenols could be used as an early intervention to treat glucose-insulin (G-I) dysregulation. However, studies report heterogeneous information, and the targets of the intervention remain largely elusive. In this work, we provide a general methodology to quantify the effects of any given polyphenol-rich food or formulae over glycemic regulation in a patient-wise manner using an Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT). We use a mathematical model to represent individual OGTT curves as the coordinated action of subsystems, each one described by a parameter with physiological interpretation. Using the parameter values calculated for a cohort of 1198 individuals, we propose a statistical model to calculate the risk of dysglycemia and the coordination among subsystems for each subject, thus providing a continuous and individual health assessment. This method allows identifying individuals at high risk of dysglycemia—which would have been missed with traditional binary diagnostic methods—enabling early nutritional intervention with a polyphenol-supplemented diet where it is most effective and desirable. Besides, the proposed methodology assesses the effectiveness of interventions over time when applied to the OGTT curves of a treated individual. We illustrate the use of this method in a case study to assess the dose-dependent effects of Delphinol® on reducing dysglycemia risk and improving the coordination between subsystems. Finally, this strategy enables, on the one hand, the use of low-cost, non-invasive methods in population-scale nutritional studies. On the other hand, it will help practitioners assess the effectiveness of an intervention based on individual vulnerabilities and adapt the treatment to manage dysglycemia and avoid its progression into disease.

Review of Novel Potential Insulin Resistance Biomarkers in PCOS Patients—The Debate Is Still Open. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 19:ijerph19042099.

Abstract
Research on proteins and peptides that play roles in metabolic regulation, which may be considered potential insulin resistance markers in some medical conditions, such as diabetes mellitus, obesity and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), has recently gained in interest. PCOS is a common endocrine disorder associated with hyperandrogenemia and failure of ovulation, which is often accompanied by metabolic abnormalities, including obesity, dyslipidemia, hyperinsulinemia, and insulin resistance. In this review, we focus on less commonly known peptides/proteins and investigate their role as potential biomarkers for insulin resistance in females affected by PCOS. We summarize studies comparing the serum fasting concentration of particular agents in PCOS individuals and healthy controls. Based on our analysis, we propose that, in the majority of studies, the levels of nesfastin-1, myonectin, omentin, neudesin were decreased in PCOS patients, while the levels of the other considered agents (e.g., preptin, gremlin-1, neuregulin-4, xenopsin-related peptide, xenin-25, and galectin-3) were increased. However, there also exist studies presenting contrary results; in particular, most data existing for lipocalin-2 are inconsistent. Therefore, further research is required to confirm those hypotheses, as well as to elucidate the involvement of these factors in PCOS-related metabolic complications.

Abstract
The intestinal hormone, glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), is involved in important physiological functions, including postprandial blood glucose homeostasis, bone remodeling, and lipid metabolism. While mutations leading to physiological changes can be identified in large-scale sequencing, no systematic investigation of GIP missense variants has been performed. Here, we identified 168 naturally occurring missense variants in the human GIP genes from three independent cohorts comprising ~720,000 individuals. We examined amino acid changing variants scattered across the pre-pro-GIP peptide using in silico effect predictions, which revealed that the sequence of the fully processed GIP hormone is more protected against mutations than the rest of the precursor protein. Thus, we observed a highly species-orthologous and population-specific conservation of the GIP peptide sequence, suggestive of evolutionary constraints to preserve the GIP peptide sequence. Elucidating the mutational landscape of GIP variants and how they affect the structural and functional architecture of GIP can aid future biological characterization and clinical translation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of diabetes mellitus has been increased dramatically which in turn leads to complications including cardiovascular diseases, diabetic kidney disease, and substantially end-stage renal disease. METHODS We reviewed articles discussing the pathophysiology of diabetic nephropathy with new agents that may be useful in the management of the disease. We used PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar and the Open-access searching engines. RESULTS The recent recommendations primarily depend on glycaemic and blood pressure control and the use of standard renin-angiotensin system blockade. Currently, the use of agents with nephroprotective effects beyond the hyperglycaemic lowering effect has been evidenced clinically. CONCLUSIONS In his review, the pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, and lines of treatment of diabetic nephropathy are discussed. In addition, a focus on the clinical role and nephroprotective effects of the emerging therapeutic class, dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-4) inhibitors, is addressed in detail.

Abstract
PURPOSE Rice is a staple food for over 3.5 billion people worldwide. The nutritional content of rice varies with different post-harvest processing techniques. Major varieties include brown rice (BR), white rice (WR) and parboiled rice (PBR). While consumption of BR is advocated due to its higher nutritional content compared to other varieties, some studies have indicated lower post-prandial blood glucose (PPBG) levels when PBR is consumed. This apparent benefit of PBR consumption is not well publicised and no commentaries on underlying mechanisms are available in literature. METHODS In this review, we looked into differential nutrient content of PBR, as compared to BR and WR, and tried to understand how their consumption could be associated with glycaemic control. Various roles played by these nutrients in mechanisms of insulin secretion, insulin resistance, nutrient absorption and T2DM-associated inflammation were reviewed from literature-based evidence. RESULTS We report differential nutritional factors in PBR, with respect to BR (and WR), such as higher calcium and selenium content, lower phytic acids, and enriched vitamin B6 which might aid PBR's ability to provide better glycaemic control than BR. CONCLUSION Our interpretation of reviewed literature leads us to suggest the possible benefits of PBR consumption in glycaemic control and its inclusion as the preferred rice variant in diets of T2DM patients and at-risk individuals.

Abstract
AbstractThree synthetic peptides, ILAP, LLAP and MAGVDHI, derived from a Palmaria palmata protein hydrolysate were assessed for their antidiabetic potential in vitro and in vivo. In addition to inhibiting dipeptidyl peptidase-IV in a cell-based in situ assay all three peptides significantly increased the half-life of the incretin hormone glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). ILAP and LLAP mediated a significant increase (p < 0.001) in insulin secretion from BRIN-BD11 cells compared to the glucose control, while MAGVDHI had no insulinotropic activity at an eqimolar concentration (10–6 M). A significant increase in the concentration of cyclic adenosine monophosphate production in BRIN-BD11 cells mediated by ILAP (p < 0.001) and LLAP (p < 0.01) compared to the basal control, would indicate that insulin secretion may be mediated by membrane based activation. Furthermore, ILAP and LLAP acted as glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) secretagogues, stimulating a significant increase (p < 0.01) in the concentration of GIP released from enteroendocrine STC-1 cells compared to the glucose control. When tested in vivo in healthy male NIH Swiss mice, ILAP and LLAP, mediated a significant increase (p < 0.01) in plasma insulin and decrease (p < 0.05) in blood glucose, respectively, compared to the control. MAGVDHI mediated a significant (p < 0.001) sustained reduction in food intake in food deprived trained mice. These results demonstrate that the Palmaria palmata peptides studied herein have prospective antidiabetic activity and have the potential to act as agents that can be used alone or in combination with drugs, to aid in the prevention and management of Type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
Introduction: The number of individuals under 18 years of age with type 2 diabetes is increasing at an alarming rate worldwide. These patients are often characterized by obesity and they often experience a more rapid disease progression than adults with type 2 diabetes. Thus, focus on prevention and management of complications and comorbidities is imperative. With emphasis on weight loss and optimal glycemic control, treatment includes lifestyle changes and pharmacotherapy, which in this patient group is limited to metformin, liraglutide and insulin. In selected cases, bariatric surgery is indicated.Areas covered: This perspective article provides an overview of the literature covering pathophysiology, diagnosis, characteristics and treatment of pediatric type 2 diabetes, and outlines the gaps in our knowledge where further research is needed. The paper draws on both mechanistic studies, large scale intervention trials, epidemiological studies and international consensus statements.Expert opinion: Type 2 diabetes in pediatric patients is an increasing health care problem, and the current treatment strategies do not successfully meet the many challenges and obstacles in this patient group. Treatments must be early, intensive, multifaceted and durable. Also, prevention of obesity and type 2 diabetes in at-risk children should be addressed and prioritized on all levels.

Abstract
The incretin effect-the amplification of insulin secretion after oral vs intravenous administration of glucose as a mean to improve glucose tolerance-was suspected even before insulin was discovered, and today we know that the effect is due to the secretion of 2 insulinotropic peptides, glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). But how important is it? Physiological experiments have shown that, because of the incretin effect, we can ingest increasing amounts of amounts of glucose (carbohydrates) without increasing postprandial glucose excursions, which otherwise might have severe consequences. The mechanism behind this is incretin-stimulated insulin secretion. The availability of antagonists for GLP-1 and most recently also for GIP has made it possible to directly estimate the individual contributions to postprandial insulin secretion of a) glucose itself: 26%; b) GIP: 45%; and c) GLP-1: 29%. Thus, in healthy individuals, GIP is the champion. When the action of both incretins is prevented, glucose tolerance is pathologically impaired. Thus, after 100 years of research, we now know that insulinotropic hormones from the gut are indispensable for normal glucose tolerance. The loss of the incretin effect in type 2 diabetes, therefore, contributes greatly to the impaired postprandial glucose control.

Abstract
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is a gastrointestinal hormone released from enteroendocrine L cells in response to meal ingestion. GLP-1 receptor agonists and GLP-1 enhancers have been clinically employed to treat diabetes owing to their glucose-dependent insulin-releasing activity. The release of GLP-1 is primarily stimulated by macronutrients such as glucose and fatty acids, which are nutritionally indispensable; however, excessive intake of sugar and fat is responsible for the development of obesity and diabetes. Therefore, GLP-1 releasing food factors, such as dietary peptides and non-nutrients, are deemed desirable for improving glucose tolerance. Human and animal studies have revealed that dietary proteins/peptides have a potent effect on stimulating GLP-1 secretion. Studies in enteroendocrine cell models have shown that dietary peptides, amino acids, and phytochemicals, such as quercetin, can directly stimulate GLP-1 secretion. In our animal experiments, these food factors improved glucose metabolism and increased GLP-1 secretion. Furthermore, some dietary peptides not only stimulated GLP-1 secretion but also reduced plasma peptidase activity, which is responsible for GLP-1 inactivation. Herein, we review the relationship between GLP-1 and food factors, especially dietary peptides and flavonoids. Accordingly, utilization of food factors with GLP-1-releasing/enhancing activity is a promising strategy for preventing and treating obesity and diabetes.

Abstract
Enteroendocrine cells (EECs) in both invertebrates and vertebrates derive from intestinal stem cells (ISCs) and are scattered along the digestive tract, where they function in sensing various environmental stimuli and subsequently secrete neurotransmitters or neuropeptides to regulate diverse biological and physiological processes. To fulfill these functions, EECs are specified into multiple subtypes that occupy specific gut regions. With advances in single-cell technology, organoid culture experimental systems, and CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genomic editing, rapid progress has been made toward characterization of EEC subtypes in mammals. Additionally, studies of genetic model organisms-especially Drosophila melanogaster-have also provided insights about the molecular processes underlying EEC specification from ISCs and about the establishment of diverse EEC subtypes. In this review, we compare the regulation of EEC specification and function in mammals and Drosophila, with a focus on EEC subtype characterization, on how internal and external regulators mediate EEC subtype specification, and on how EEC-mediated intra- and interorgan communications affect gastrointestinal physiology and pathology.

Therapeutic potential of targeting intestinal bitter taste receptors in diabetes associated with dyslipidemia. Pharmacol Res 2021; 170:105693.

Abstract
Intestinal release of incretin hormones after food intake promotes glucose-dependent insulin secretion and regulates glucose homeostasis. The impaired incretin effects observed in the pathophysiologic abnormality of type 2 diabetes have triggered the pharmacological development of incretin-based therapy through the activation of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor, including GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) and dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) inhibitors. In the light of the mechanisms involved in the stimulation of GLP-1 secretion, it is a fundamental question to explore whether glucose and lipid homeostasis can be manipulated by the digestive system in response to nutrient ingestion and taste perception along the gastrointestinal tract. While glucose is a potent stimulant of GLP-1 secretion, emerging evidence highlights the importance of bitter tastants in the enteroendocrine secretion of gut hormones through activation of bitter taste receptors. This review summarizes bitter chemosensation in the intestines for GLP-1 secretion and metabolic regulation based on recent advances in biological research of bitter taste receptors and preclinical and clinical investigation of bitter medicinal plants, including bitter melon, hops strobile, and berberine-containing herbs (e.g. coptis rhizome and barberry root). Multiple mechanisms of action of relevant bitter phytochemicals are discussed with the consideration of pharmacokinetic studies. Current evidence suggests that specific agonists targeting bitter taste receptors, such as human TAS2R1 and TAS2R38, may provide both metabolic benefits and anti-inflammatory effects with the modulation of the enteroendocrine hormone secretion and bile acid turnover in metabolic syndrome individuals or diabetic patients with dyslipidemia-related comorbidities.

Abstract
n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) can exert beneficial effects on glucose homeostasis, especially in obese rodents. Gut incretin hormones regulate glucose and lipid homeostasis, but their involvement in the above effects is not entirely clear. This study aims to assess the effects of chronic n-3 PUFA administration on the insulin and incretin responses in C57BL/6N obese male mice subjected to oral glucose tolerance test (oGTT) after 8 weeks of feeding a corn-oil-based high-fat diet (cHF). The weight gain and adiposity were partially reduced in mice fed cHF in which some of the corn oil was replaced with n-3 PUFA concentrate containing ∼60% DHA and EPA in a 3 : 1 ratio. In addition, these mice had improved glucose tolerance, which was consistent with an increased insulin response to oral glucose and plasma glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) levels. While the stimulatory effects of n-3 PUFA on GLP-1 levels could not be attributed to changes in intestinal or plasma dipeptidyl peptidase-4 activity, their beneficial effects on glucose tolerance were abolished when mice were pretreated with the GLP-1 receptor antagonist exendin 9-39. Moreover, chronic n-3 PUFA intake prevented the detrimental effects of cHF feeding on glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in the pancreatic islets. Collectively, our data suggest that n-3 PUFA may modulate postprandial glucose metabolism in obese mice through a GLP-1-based mechanism. The significance of these findings in terms of the effective DHA and EPA ratio of the n-3 PUFA concentrate as well as the effect of n-3 PUFA in humans requires further research.

Abstract
Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) inhibitors improve glycemic control by prolonging the action of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). In contrast to GLP-1 analogues, DPP-IV inhibitors are weight-neutral. DPP-IV cleavage of PYY and NPY gives rise to PYY3-36 and NPY3-36 which exert potent anorectic action by stimulating Y2 receptor (Y2R) function. This invites the possibility that DPP-IV inhibitors could be weight-neutral by preventing conversion of PYY/NPY to Y2R-selective peptide agonists. We therefore investigated whether co-administration of an Y2R-selective agonist could unmask potential weight lowering effects of the DDP-IV inhibitor linagliptin. Male diet-induced obese (DIO) mice received once daily subcutaneous treatment with linagliptin (3 mg/kg), a Y2R-selective PYY3-36 analogue (3 or 30 nmol/kg) or combination therapy for 14 days. While linagliptin promoted marginal weight loss without influencing food intake, the PYY3-36 analogue induced significant weight loss and transient suppression of food intake. Both compounds significantly improved oral glucose tolerance. Because combination treatment did not further improve weight loss and glucose tolerance in DIO mice, this suggests that potential negative modulatory effects of DPP-IV inhibitors on endogenous Y2R peptide agonist activity is likely insufficient to influence weight homeostasis. Weight-neutrality of DPP-IV inhibitors may therefore not be explained by counter-regulatory effects on PYY/NPY responses.

Abstract
AIMS To develop a quantitative systems pharmacology model to describe the effect of dapagliflozin (a sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 [SGLT2] inhibitor) on glucose-insulin dynamics in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients, and to identify key determinants of treatment-mediated glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) reduction. MATERIALS AND METHODS Glycaemic control during dapagliflozin treatment was mechanistically characterized by integrating components representing dapagliflozin pharmacokinetics (PK), glucose-insulin homeostasis, renal glucose reabsorption, and HbA1c formation. The model was developed using PK variables, glucose, plasma insulin, and urinary glucose excretion (UGE) from a phase IIa dapagliflozin trial in patients with T2DM (NCT00162305). The model was used to predict dapagliflozin-induced HbA1c reduction; model predictions were compared to actual data from phase III trials (NCT00528879, NCT00683878, NCT00680745 and NCT00673231). RESULTS The integrated glucose-insulin-dapagliflozin model successfully described plasma glucose and insulin levels, as well as UGE in response to oral glucose tolerance tests and meal intake. HbA1c reduction was also well predicted. The results show that dapagliflozin-mediated glycaemic control is anticorrelated to steady-state insulin concentration and insulin sensitivity. CONCLUSIONS The developed model framework is the first to integrate SGLT2 inhibitor mechanism of action with both short-term glucose-insulin dynamics and long-term glucose control (HbA1c). The results suggest that dapagliflozin treatment is beneficial in patients with inadequate glycaemic control from insulin alone and this benefit increases as insulin control diminishes.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Diabetes is a multifactorial disease with complex multi-organ-multi-target crosstalk in the body. Currently, the theoretical assumptions framing the diabetes management strategies are reductionist and largely focus on reducing hyperglycemia through targeted molecular drugs. While they effectively reduce hyperglycemia, they are inadequate to address the multifactorial etiopathology, chronicity and systemic complications of diabetes. Therefore, a holistic and systemic approach is essential for its successful management. We hypothesize an integrative diabetes management strategy, combining holistic principles of diabetes management with its molecular understandings, would be more appropriate to fill this gap. The holistic disease management principles of Ayurveda, the Indian system of medicine, can play a pivotal role in this context. This narrative review discusses the scope of a trans-disciplinary ' Ayurveda-Biology ' approach for deepening the holistic understanding of the pathophysiology of diabetes as well as designing novel integrative strategies for managing diabetes and restoring whole body glucose homeostasis. METHODOLOGY The article analyses the Ayurveda scheme of diabetes management and correlates it with the molecular understanding of its pathophysiology and management. The sources of information used in this article include classical texts of Ayurveda , medical books, published research articles and scientific databases like PubMed, Google Scholar, Science-Direct, etc. RESULTS: While Ayurveda and modern biomedicine uses different epistemology and ontology for describing diabetes, both the systems recognize the central role of gut and gut derived factors in postprandial glucose disposal and whole body glucose homeostasis. Essentially, the principles of both Ayurveda and modern biomedicine overlap at a gut centred view of diabetes management; and Gastro-intestinal mediated glucose disposal , a holistic concept of glucose metabolism, is emerging as a converging node for designing innovative integrative diabetes management strategies. CONCLUSIONS An integrative disease management strategy, combining holistic and reductionist perspectives of traditional medicine and biology respectively, would be the prerogative for successful management of diabetes. Creating an ' Ayurveda-Biology' knowledge framework integrating the patient centred holistic management principles of Ayurveda and the molecular approaches of modern biology can give better insights into the biology of whole body glucose homeostasis and offer novel strategies for cost effective, holistic and multi-targeted management of diabetes.

Abstract
Somatostatin (SS) inhibits glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) secretion in a paracrine manner. We hypothesized that blocking somatostatin subtype receptor 2 (SSTR2) and 5 (SSTR5) would improve glycemia by enhancing GLP-1 secretion. In the perfused mouse small intestine, the selective SSTR5 antagonist (SSTR5a) stimulated glucose-induced GLP-1 secretion to a larger degree than the SSTR2 antagonist (SSTR2a). In parallel, mice lacking the SSTR5R showed increased glucose-induced GLP-1 secretion. Both antagonists improved glycemia in vivo in a GLP-1 receptor-dependent (GLP-1R-dependent) manner, as the glycemic improvements were absent in mice with impaired GLP-1R signaling and in mice treated with a GLP-1R-specific antagonist. SSTR5a had no direct effect on insulin secretion in the perfused pancreas, whereas SSTR2a increased insulin secretion in a GLP-1R-independent manner. Adding a dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitor (DPP-4i) in vivo resulted in additive effects on glycemia. However, when glucose was administered intraperitoneally, the antagonist was incapable of lowering blood glucose. Oral administration of SSTR5a, but not SSTR2a, lowered blood glucose in diet-induced obese mice. In summary, we demonstrate that selective SSTR antagonists can improve glucose control primarily through the intestinal GLP-1 system in mice.

Abstract
Postprandial glycemic control is an important target for optimal type 2 diabetes management, but is often difficult to achieve. The gastrointestinal tract plays a major role in modulating postprandial glycaemia in both health and diabetes. The various strategies that have been proposed to modulate gastrointestinal function, particularly by slowing gastric emptying and/or stimulating incretin hormone GLP-1, are summarized in this review.
