About
The inhibitory effect of low dose GLP-1 is investigated on prandial motility of the stomach, duodenum and jejunum in vivo in humans. Supplementary in vitro studies on the mechanism of action of the GLP-1 inhibition of motility as carried out on muscle strips from the upper gastrointestinal tract in man.
Full description
Twelve healthy volunteers will undergo antroduodenojejunal manometry. Baseline recording with infusion of saline for 1 hour is compared with infusion of GLP-1 0.7 and 1.2 pmol per kg minute for another 1 hour. Plasma GLP-1 and GLP-2 is measured by RIA. Responses to GLP-1 will be measured after food intake as prandial response to GLP-1. The outcome will be evaluated as change in motility index from baseline to meal-stimulated conditions and during influence of GLP-1. Further in vitro studies of gastrointestinal muscle strips, precontracted with bethanechol or electric field stimulation, are planned to investigate the response to GLP-1 or GLP-1 analogue ROSE-010. GLP-1 and GLP-2 receptor immunoreactivity is localized by immunohistochemistry. Receptor mediated mechanisms are studied with GLP-1 receptor blocker exendin(9-39)amide, nitro-monomethyl arginine to block nitric oxide synthase and tetrodotoxin to block sodium channels and nerve conduction.
