Our previous study revealed a mono-ADP-ribosyltransferase mediated in vitro mono-ADP-ribosylation of IC(3) peptide, a peptide with sequence corresponded to third intracellular loop of glucagon like-peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor. Furthermore, Arg(348) was shown to be modified amino acid residue although its mutation did not eliminate mono-ADP-ribosylation completely. In order to further study the signaling mechanisms of GLP-1 receptor, we took on lease a possibility that an alternative site of enzymatic modification exist so mono-ADP-ribosylation of Cys(341) was hypothesized. The results confirmed both Arg(348) and Cys(341) as a site of mono-ADP-ribosylation where Arg(348) is modified predominantly. Sum of mono-ADP-ribosylation rate of both single IC(3) mutants coincided with IC(3) rate. What is in vivo role of Cys(341) mono-ADP-ribosylation is entirely speculative but our study represents an important step toward a complete understanding of signaling via GLP-1 receptor.

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) covers a broad spectrum of profile from simple fatty liver, evolving to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), to hepatic fibrosis, further progressing to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). MASLD has become a prevalent disease with 25% in average over the world. MASH is an active stage, and requires pharmacological intervention when there is necroptotic damage with fibrotic progression.

Introduction: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) have become increasingly prevalent and have the potential to delay gastric emptying. The American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) released guidance regarding the perioperative management of patients receiving GLP-1 RAs, but it is unclear the extent to which hospitals in the U.S.

However, the symptoms of hypoglycemia can be non-specific for a long time, especially outside provocative conditions, and quite often the tumor manifests from a life-threatening condition - hypoglycemic coma. In this regard, timely laboratory diagnosis of insulinoma and determination of its aggressive course is one of the priorities in modern researches.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFThe use of incretin analogues has emerged in recent years as an effective approach to achieve both enhanced insulin secretion and weight loss in type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients. Agonists which bind and stimulate multiple receptors have shown particular promise. However, off target effects, including nausea and diarrhoea, remain a complication of using these agents, and modified versions with optimized pharmacological profiles and/or biased signaling at the cognate receptors are increasingly sought.
