Treatment with Exenatide does not impair the counterregulatory glucagon response Diabetes 53:2397;2004
Incretin-related Anti-diabetes Drugs and effects on plasma glucagon • Hyperglucagonemia contributes to abnormal glucose homeostasis in T2DM • GLP-1r activation reduces fasting and postprandial glucagon concentrations • Neither DPP-4 inhibition nor Ex-4 interferes with the glucagon response to hypoglycemia. • GLP-1r activation may sensitize the alpha-cell to regulation by glucose.
Does activation of the GLP-1r improve cardiac function? A new extra-islet target for GLP-1: The Heart
The GLP-1r and the Heart • The GLP-1r is expressed in cardiomyocytes and in vascular endothelial cells. • Activation of the GLP-1r in cardiomyocytes in vitro increases cAMP levels and glucose uptake. • GLP-1r knock-out mice have increased ventricular thickness and increased end-diastolic pressure. • In rodents GLP-1 increases HR through a CNS pathway.

Summary • GLP-1 is essential for normal glucose tolerance and the GLP-1r system is useful for treating diabetes. • GLP-1 acts via multiple mechanisms to improve glucose tolerance. • The mechanism of action of GLP-1r agonists and DPP-4 inhibitors includes islet α- and β-cell effects • Effects of GLP-1r signaling on cardiovascular function are still under investigation but there is experimental evidence that this could be another beneficial component of pharmacology.
