Starvation reduces circulating levels of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and related peptides in rats. This decrease is linked to reduced synthesis of these peptides in the intestine, not altered processing.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Metabolism
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is a key hormone regulating glucose metabolism and appetite.
  • The impact of nutritional status, specifically starvation, on GLP-1 metabolism is not fully understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the effects of prolonged starvation on the levels and processing of proglucagon-derived peptides, including GLP-1.
  • To determine the site of regulation (synthesis vs. processing) responsible for changes in circulating GLP-1 during starvation.

Main Methods:

  • Rats were subjected to starvation for 1, 3, and 5 days.
  • Plasma levels of GLP-1 immunoreactivity (GLP-1 IR) and glucagon-like immunoreactivity (GLI) were measured.
  • Proglucagon biosynthesis and posttranslational processing were assessed in the ileum and pancreas.

  • Intestinal proglucagon mRNA transcripts were quantified.

    • Main Results:

    • Plasma levels of GLP-1 IR, GLI, and insulin immunoreactivity (IRI) significantly decreased with prolonged starvation.
    • Ileal content of GLP-1 IR and GLI was significantly reduced by day 5 of starvation.
    • Pancreatic proglucagon-derived peptides showed a non-significant trend toward increase.
    • No significant changes in proglucagon posttranslational processing or intestinal proglucagon mRNA levels were observed.

    Conclusions:

    • Starvation leads to a significant reduction in circulating GLP-1 and related peptides.
    • The primary cause of decreased circulating GLP-1 during starvation is reduced synthesis in the intestine.
    • These findings highlight the sensitivity of GLP-1 regulation to nutritional status.
