Background:
Glucagon-like peptide 1 (1-37), human (TFA) is a highly potent agonist of the GLP-1 receptor. GLP-1 receptor[1].
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is produced by the posttranslational processing of proglucagon and acts as a regulator of various homeostatic events. GLP-1(1-37) is more stable than GLP-1(7-37), with 94.7% of the initial amount of peptide left after a 4h exposure to mouse serum. GLP-1(1-37) is confirmed to be a highly potent agonist of the GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R) by measuring the expression of the luciferase reporter gene expression in transiently transfected human embryonic kidney (HEK293) cells[1].
GLP-1(1-37) decreases glycemic excursion in a dose-dependent. The administration of GLP-1(1-37) or GLP-1(7-37) markedly decrease blood glucose levels at 15 min and 30 min compared with the control group[1].

Protocol:
Cell experiment: | HEK293 cells (5×104) are seeded in a 96-well plate and transiently cotransfected with the GLP-1R plasmid and the CRE-luciferase reporter plasmid. After a 48 h transfection, different concentrations of GLP-1(1–37) or GLP-1(7–37) (TFA) are added, and the cells are incubated for 5 h. The cells are harvested for a luciferase assay using a luciferase assay[1]. |
Animal experiment: | Mice[1]The normal KM mice are fasted for 16 h before the administration (i.p.) of GLP-1 and glucose. GLP-1(1-37) (25 nmol/kg) with or without exendin(9-39) (250 nmol/kg) is given in combination with glucose (4 g/kg). GLP-1(7-37) (25 nmol/kg) with or without exendin(9-39) (250 nmol/kg) is also administrated in combination with glucose (4 g/kg). The control group is treated with saline (NaCl, 9 g/L) and glucose (4 g/kg). The IPGTT is carried out at 0, 15, 30 and 60 min after glucose and protein administration, and the blood glucose levels are measured as described above[1]. |
