Purpose/aim: Negative feedback controls in endocrine regulatory systems are well recognized. The incretins and their role in glucose regulation have been of major interest recently. Whether the same negative control system applies to the regulation of incretin secretion is not clear. We sought to examine the hypothesis that exogenous administration of glucagon like peptide-1, GLP-1(7-36) amide or its metabolite GLP-1(9-36) amide, reduces the endogenous basal release of this incretin.
Materials And Methods: We evaluated the endogenous basal release of GLP-1 using two separate study designs. In protocol A we examined the GLP-1(7-36) amide levels during the infusion of GLP-1(9-36) amide. In protocol B, we used PYY and GLP-2 as biomarkers for the endogenous basal release of GLP-1(7-36) amide and assessed the endogenous basal release of these two hormones during the GLP-1(7-36) infusion. Twelve lean and 12 obese subjects were enrolled in protocol A and 10 obese volunteers in protocol B.
Results: The plasma levels of GLP-1(7-36) amide in protocol A and PYY and GLP-2 in protocol B remained unchanged during the exogenous infusion of GLP-1(9-36) and GLP-1(7-36) amide, respectively.
Conclusions: The negative feedback control system as described by inhibition of the release of endogenous hormone while infusing it exogenously was not observed for the basal secretion of GLP-1(7-36) amide.

The incretins glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP1-42) and glucagon-like peptide-1-(7-36)-amide (GLP-17-36), hormones that potentiate glucose-induced insulin secretion from the endocrine pancreas, are substrates of the circulating exopeptidase dipeptidyl peptidase IV and are rendered biologically inactive upon cleavage of their N-terminal dipeptides. This study was designed to determine if matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry is a useful analytical tool to study the hydrolysis of these hormones by dipeptidyl peptidase IV, including kinetic analysis. Spectra indicated that serum-incubated peptides were cleaved by this enzyme with only minor secondary degradation due to other serum protease activity.
