A Dose-response Study Examining the Contribution of GLP-1 Receptor Signaling to Glucagon-stimulated Insulin Secretion
June 8, 2023 updated by: Adrian Vella
The GLP-1 receptor (GLP1R) gene is found on the beta cells of the pancreas.
Its role is in the control of blood sugar level by enhancing insulin secretion from the pancreas after eating a meal.
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the role of GLP1R in the response to elevated glucagon concentrations.
Study Overview
Detailed Description
Glucagon within the islet can signal the β-cell through GLP1R, and acts as an insulin secretagogue.
This signaling is blocked by exendin-9,39.
The relative importance of glucagon signaling through its cognate receptor or through GLP1R is unknown.
Despite the lower affinity of GLP1R for glucagon, intra-islet concentrations of glucagon are sufficiently high to stimulate GLP1R.
The other situation where this may occur is in response to pharmacologic doses of glucagon as used for β-cell function testing or raising peripheral glucagon concentrations above fasting values.
The experiments proposed will characterize the role of GLP1R in glucagon's actions on the β-cell and the potential therapeutic role of dual (GLP-1R and glucagon receptor) agonists for the treatment of T2DM and obesity.

Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Saline, Then Exendin-9,39
A week or two after screening, participants were admitted to the CRTU and Saline was infused during a hyperglycemic clamp during which escalating doses of glucagon were infused.
After completion of this study participants underwent a washout period of 2 weeks after which they were readmitted to the CRTU and Exendin-9,39 was infused at 300pmol/kg/min was infused during a hyperglycemic clamp during which escalating doses of glucagon were infused.

Placebo comparator
Exendin-9,39 is a competitive antagonist of GLP-1 actions at the GLP-1 receptor

Insulin Secretion Rate During Exendin-9,39 Infusion vs. Insulin Secretion Rate During Saline Infusion
Time Frame: Area under the curve was quantified at the end of the Saline Study and at the end of the Exendin-9,39 study

This is the area under the curve for insulin secretion over the duration of the hyperglycemic clamp (0 to 300 minutes during the study in the Clinical Research Unit).
