Abstract
Recent advances in understanding type 1 diabetes (T1D) highlight the complexity of managing hypoglycemia, a frequent and perilous complication of diabetes therapy. This letter delves into a novel study by Jin et al, which elucidates the role of intestinal glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) in the counterregulatory response to hypoglycemia in T1D models. The study employed immunofluorescence, Western blotting, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to track changes in GLP-1 and its receptor expression in diabetic mice subjected to recurrent hypoglycemic episodes. Findings indicate a significant increase in intestinal GLP-1 and GLP-1 receptor expression, correlating with diminished adrenal and glucagon responses, crucial for glucose stabilization during hypoglycemic events. This letter aims to explore the implications of these findings for future therapeutic strategies and the broader understanding of T1D management.
期刊介绍:
The WJD is a high-quality, peer reviewed, open-access journal. The primary task of WJD is to rapidly publish high-quality original articles, reviews, editorials, and case reports in the field of diabetes. In order to promote productive academic communication, the peer review process for the WJD is transparent; to this end, all published manuscripts are accompanied by the anonymized reviewers’ comments as well as the authors’ responses. The primary aims of the WJD are to improve diagnostic, therapeutic and preventive modalities and the skills of clinicians and to guide clinical practice in diabetes. Scope: Diabetes Complications, Experimental Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, Diabetes, Gestational, Diabetic Angiopathies, Diabetic Cardiomyopathies, Diabetic Coma, Diabetic Ketoacidosis, Diabetic Nephropathies, Diabetic Neuropathies, Donohue Syndrome, Fetal Macrosomia, and Prediabetic State.
