GLP-1、グルカゴン様ペプチド-1の略は、長さがわずか30〜31アミノ酸の短い、自然に発生するペプチドホルモンです。その主な生理機能は、インスリン分泌を自然に増強することにより、血糖値を低下させることです。また、インスリン遺伝子転写を促進することにより、保護ベータ細胞インスリン貯蔵に役割を果たし、脳および中枢神経系の神経栄養効果と関連しています。 GIシステムでは、GLP-1は、胃内容を遅らせ、腸の運動性を低下させることにより、食欲を大幅に減少させることが示されています。予備研究により、心臓、脂肪、筋肉、骨、肝臓、肺、腎臓におけるGLP-1の影響が示されています。

GLP-1研究の主な焦点は、食欲抑制だけでなく、糖尿病治療/予防の領域にあります。二次研究は、ペプチドの潜在的な心血管の利点に焦点を当てています。より最近の、したがって堅牢性が低い研究は、GLP-1が神経変性疾患を食い止める能力に焦点を当てています。この後者の研究領域は最新ですが、アルツハイマー病の状況でのアミロイドベータプラークの蓄積が遅くなったり防止されたりすることが明らかになった今、GLP-1研究の急速に成長する領域でもあります。

GLP-1のインクレチン効果

おそらく、Holst博士によれば、GLP-1が抱えている最も重要な効果は、「インクレティン効果」と呼ばれています。インクレティンは、GIトラクトによって放出される代謝ホルモンのグループであり、血糖（糖）レベルの減少を引き起こします。 GLP-1は、げっ歯類モデルのインクレチン効果を刺激するための2つの最も重要なホルモン（もう1つはGIP）の1つであることが示されています。 GIPはGLP-1のレベルよりも約10倍高いレベルで循環しますが、GLP-1が2つの分子の中でより強力であるという証拠があります。特に、血糖のレベルが非常に高い場合。

A GLP-1 receptor has been identified on the surface of pancreatic beta cells, making it clear that GLP-1 directly stimulates the exocytosis of insulin from the pancreas. When combined with sulfonylurea drugs, GLP-1 has been shown to boost insulin secretion enough to cause mild hypoglycemia in up to 40% of subjects^[1]. Of course, increased insulin secretion is associated with a number of trophic effects including increased protein synthesis, reduction in the breakdown of protein, and increased uptake of amino acids by skeletal muscle.

GLP-1 and Beta Cell Protection

Research in animal models suggests that GLP-1 can stimulate the growth and proliferation of pancreatic beta cells and that it may stimulate the differentiation of new beta cells form progenitors in the pancreatic duct epithelium. Research has also shown that GLP-1 inhibits beta cell apoptosis^[1]. Taken in sum, these effects tip the usual balance of beta cell growth and death toward growth, suggesting that the peptide may be useful in treating diabetes and in protecting the pancreas against insult that harms beta cells.

In one particularly compelling trial, GLP-1 was shown to inhibit the death of beta cells caused by enhanced levels of inflammatory cytokines. In fact, mouse models of type 1 diabetes have revealed that GLP-1 protects islet cells from destruction and may, in fact, be a useful means of preventing onset of the type 1 diabetes^[2].

GLP-1 and Appetite

Research in mouse models suggests that administration of GLP-1, and its similar cousin GLP-1, into the brains of mice can reduce the drive to eat and inhibit food intake^[3]. It appears that GLP-1 may actually enhance feelings of satiety, helping individuals to feel fuller and reducing hunger indirectly. Recent clinical studies have shown in mice that twice daily administration of GLP-1 receptor agonists cause gradual, linear weight loss. Over a long period, this weight loss is associated with significant improvement in cardiovascular risk factors and a reduction in hemoglobin A1C levels, the latter of these being a proxy marker for the severity of diabetes and the quality of blood sugar control attained via treatment^[4].

Potential Cardiovascular Benefits of GLP-1

It is now know that GLP-1 receptors are distributed throughout the heart and act to improve cardiac function in certain settings by boosting heart rate and reducing left ventricular end-diastolic pressure^[5]. The latter may not seem like much, but increased LV end-diastolic pressure is associated with LV hypertrophy, cardiac remodeling, and eventual heart failure.

Recent evidence has even suggested that GLP-1 could play role in decreasing the overall damaged caused by a heart attack. It appears that the peptide improves cardiac muscle glucose uptake, thereby helping struggling ischemic heart muscle cells to get the nutrition they need to continue functioning and avoid programmed cell death. The increase in glucose uptake in these cells appears to independent of insulin^[6].

Large infusions of GLP-1 into dogs have been shown to improve LV performance and reduce systemic vascular resistance. The latter effect can help to reduce blood pressure and ease strain on the heart as a result^[7]. This, in turn, can help to reduce the long-term consequences of high blood pressure such as LV remodeling, vascular thickening, and heart failure. According to Dr. Holst, administration of GLP-1 following cardiac injury has “constantly increased myocardial performance both in experimental animal models and in patients.”

GLP-1 and the Brain

There is some evidence to suggest that GLP-1 can improve learning and help to protect neurons against neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease. In one study, GLP-1 was shown to enhance associative and spatial learning in mice and even to improve learning deficits in mice with specific gene defects. In rats that over-express the GLP-1 receptor in certain regions of the brain, learning and memory are both significantly better than in their normal controls^[8].

Additional research in mice has shown that GLP-1 can help to protect against excitotoxic neuron damage, completely protecting rat models of neurodegeneration against glutamate-induced apoptosis. The peptide can even stimulate neurite outgrowth in cultured cells. Researchers are hopeful that additional research on GLP-1 will reveal how it might be used to halt or reverse certain neurodegenerative diseases^[9].

Interestingly, GLP-1 and its analogue exendin-4 have been shown in mouse models to reduce levels of amyloid-beta in the brain as well as the beta-amyloid precursor protein found in neurons. Amyloid beta is the primary component of the plaques observed in Alzheimer’s disease, plaques which, while not necessarily known to be causative, are associated with the severity of the disease. It remains to be seen if preventing amyloid beta accumulation can protect against the effects of Alzheimer’s disease, but this research is, at the very least, a tantalizing clue as to how scientists my intervene in the progression of mild cognitive impairment to full Alzheimer’s disease^[10].

In 1986 Professor Jens Juul Holst discovered the GLP-1 hormone in connection with his work on stomach ulcer surgery. Since the discovery, Novo Nordisk have used the research to successfully develop products to treat diabetes and obesity. The hormone GLP-1 can be used to regulate blood sugar levels and satiety. Not only has it made treatment of obesity and diabetes possible, it has also proven useful preventatively through early diagnosis for citizens who are at risk of developing diabetes and obesity. In 2015, Jens Juul Holst received the prestigious international Fernström prize for his research on GLP-1. He is one of the most cited researchers in Europe, with over 1,200 published articles and citations in over 3,500 articles annually.
