    Abstract Glucagon was discovered in 1923 as a contaminant of early insulin preparations, and its hormonal status was not established until its structure was established in the 1950 s and when the first radioimmunoassay was developed by Roger Unger, providing information about its secretion. Its role in hepatic glucose production was soon established and it was proposed as an essential factor in diabetic hyperglycemia. However, even today a number of issues remain unsolved. For instance, the assays for glucagon are not straightforward, although the development of sandwich ELISAs allowed reasonably accurate measurements also in rodents. The tools for evaluation of glucagon physiology include pancreatectomy, but studies in both humans and experimental animals pointed towards extrapancreatic sources of glucagon. It was demonstrated that glucagon receptor knockout animals do not develop diabetes upon destruction of their beta cells with streptozotocin. However, in patients with type 1 diabetes, glucagon antagonists do not normalize glucose levels; but antagonists do lower glucose levels in patients with in type 2 diabetes. Recent studies in animals and humans have confirmed the essential role of glucagon in glucose metabolism, but have suggested that it may be at least equally important for amino acid and lipid metabolism. In spite of the 100 years, glucagon research is very much alive.

    Abstract Recent studies show that incretin hormone analogues effectively control blood glucose while producing major weight losses and reducing the risk of all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction, stroke and kidney function impairment. Furthermore, the risk of dementia and cognitive impairment is reduced. A monomolecular coagonist (tirzepatide) of receptors for both incretin hormones (glucagon-like peptide-1 and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) produced HbA1c values below 5.7% in 50% of the treated patients and weight losses exceeding 20% in obese individuals. These new agents will radically change our approach to the treatment of T2DM and obesity alike.

    Abstract Because of differential processing of the hormone precursor, proglucagon, numerous peptide products are released from the pancreatic alpha cells and the intestinal L-cells in which the (pro)glucagon gene is expressed. Of particular interest in relation to obesity are glucagon from the pancreas and oxyntomodulin and GLP-1 from the gut, all of which inhibit food intake, but the other products are also briefly discussed, because knowledge about these is required for selection and evaluation of the methods for measurement of the hormones. The distal intestinal L-cells also secrete the appetite-inhibiting hormone PYY. Characteristics of the secretion of the pancreatic and intestinal products are described, and causes of the hypersecretion of glucagon in obesity and type 2 diabetes are discussed. In contrast, the secretion of the products of the L-cells is generally impaired in obesity, raising questions about their role in the development of obesity. It is concluded that the impairment probably is secondary to obesity, but the lower plasma levels may contribute to the development.

    Abstract In 1993, my laboratory published an article in Digestive Diseases and Sciences that clearly demonstrated the pronounced effects of the newly discovered intestinal hormone, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), on a number of gastrointestinal functions, including gastric emptying rate, gastric acid secretion, and pancreatic enzyme secretion. The gut hormone is released in response to nutrient intake, and in further experiments, its release from the ileum paralleled inhibition of both gastric and pancreatic secretions. Based on these studies, it was concluded that GLP-1 is an important regulator of the so-called ileal brake, a term given for the observation that ileal perfusion of lipids delayed gastric emptying, reduced food intake, and induced satiety Welch et al. (1985), in addition to its functions as an incretin hormone. GLP-1 was subsequently identified as a physiological inhibitor of appetite and food intake, and based on these actions, the GLP-1 receptor agonists are today considered among the most powerful and effective antiobesity and antidiabetic agents available, with the added benefits of reducing the risk of the cardiovascular and renal complications associated with these conditions.

    Abstract In my lecture given on the occasion of the 2021 Banting Medal for Scientific Achievement, I briefly described the history of the incretin effect and summarized some of the developments leading to current therapies of obesity and diabetes based on the incretin hormones, glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP). In the text below, I discuss in further detail the role of these two hormones for postprandial insulin secretion in humans on the basis of recent studies with antagonists. Their direct and indirect actions on the β-cells are discussed next as well as their contrasting actions on glucagon secretion. After a brief discussion of their effect on insulin sensitivity, I describe their immediate actions in patients with type 2 diabetes and emphasize the actions of GLP-1 on β-cell glucose sensitivity, followed by a discussion of their extrapancreatic actions, including effects on appetite and food intake in humans. Finally, possible mechanisms of action of GIP-GLP-1 coagonists are discussed, and it is concluded that therapies based on incretin actions are likely to change the current hesitant therapy of both obesity and diabetes.

    Abstract Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), a gastrointestinal peptide and central mediator of glucose metabolism, is secreted by L cells in the intestine in response to food intake. Postprandial secretion of GLP-1 is triggered by nutrient-sensing via transporters and G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). GLP-1 secretion may be lower in adults with obesity/overweight (OW) or type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) than in those with normal glucose tolerance (NGT), but these findings are inconsistent. Because of the actions of GLP-1 on stimulating insulin secretion and promoting weight loss, GLP-1 and its analogs are used in pharmacologic preparations for the treatment of T2DM. However, physiologically stimulated GLP-1 secretion through the diet might be a preventive or synergistic method for improving glucose metabolism in individuals who are OW, or have impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) or T2DM. This narrative review focuses on fasting and postprandial GLP-1 secretion in individuals with different metabolic conditions and degrees of glucose intolerance. Further, the influence of relevant diet-related factors (e.g., specific diets, meal composition, and size, phytochemical content, and gut microbiome) that could affect fasting and postprandial GLP-1 secretion are discussed. Some studies showed diminished glucose- or meal-stimulated GLP-1 response in participants with T2DM, IGT, or OW compared with those with NGT, whereas other studies have reported an elevated or unchanged GLP-1 response in T2DM or IGT. Meal composition, especially the relationship between macronutrients and interventions targeting the microbiome can impact postprandial GLP-1 secretion, although it is not clear which macronutrients are strong stimulants of GLP-1. Moreover, glucose tolerance, antidiabetic treatment, grade of overweight/obesity, and sex were important factors influencing GLP-1 secretion. The results presented in this review highlight the potential of nutritional and physiologic stimulation of GLP-1 secretion. Further research on fasting and postprandial GLP-1 concentrations and the resulting metabolic consequences under different metabolic conditions is needed.
