Abstract
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is a hormone mainly produced by intestinal L cells after meal, and its main functions include enhancing glucose-dependent insulin secretion, promoting insulin biosynthesis, inhibiting glucagon secretion, inhibiting gastrointestinal activity and regulating appetite. In recent years, GLP-1, besides its well-known hypoglycemic effects, has been shown to have beneficial effects in the cardiovascular field, but the precise molecular mechanism is not yet fully understood. GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R) is a class B G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR), which is widely distributed in the cardiovascular system. This review aims to summarize the GLP-1R dependent signaling pathways in GLP-1 cardiovascular protection and related researches, such as the GLP-1R structure, distribution and expression. Moreover, we also discussed the development of GLP-1R agonist (GLP-1RA) therapies in cardiovascular field.
期刊介绍：
Journal of Cardiovascular Translational Research (JCTR) is a premier journal in cardiovascular translational research.
JCTR is the journal of choice for authors seeking the broadest audience for emerging technologies, therapies and diagnostics, pre-clinical research, and first-in-man clinical trials.
JCTR''s intent is to provide a forum for critical evaluation of the novel cardiovascular science, to showcase important and clinically relevant aspects of the new research, as well as to discuss the impediments that may need to be overcome during the translation to patient care.
