Several gut hormones were tested for metabolic actions with disappointing results until the discovery of the proglucagon derivative, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). This peptide from the distal intestine has preserved activity on insulin secretion in people with type 2 diabetes and turned out to regulate both secretion and motility in the gastrointestinal tract and importantly, appetite and food intake, thus functioning as an efficient 'ileal brake' hormone. However, the natural hormone acts predominantly via sensory afferent systems and is extremely rapidly removed from the circulation by enzymatic degradation and renal elimination, and increasing the doses merely results in nausea and vomiting. Lipidation of analogs turned out to provide both stability and limit renal elimination, and very slow up-titration of dosing improves tolerance. Indeed, the most recent agonists may near-normalize glycaemic control in type 2 diabetes, may cause weight losses of up to 25% of body weight, and significantly reduce cardiovascular risk, effects that resemble those of bariatric surgery.

GDF15 also reduces voluntary physical activity and, thus, it is not clear whether combining GDF15 with exercise will be beneficial or if reductions in food intake would be offset by decreases in physical activity. We investigated how GDF15 treatment combined with voluntary wheel running (VWR) would impact weight gain, food intake, adiposity and indices of metabolic health in mice. High-fat fed male and female mice underwent daily GDF15 treatments and were given access to voluntary running wheels, or not, for 11 days. In both sexes, VWR prevented weight gain. In males, GDF15 reduced food intake, as well as attenuated weight gain and the accumulation of adipose tissue, with no additional effect of VWR. In female mice, GDF15 did not impact body weight gain or body composition. GDF15 acutely reduced food intake in female mice but this was followed by a period of rebound hyperphagia and consequently GDF15 did not reduce total food intake in female mice. GDF15 treatment reduced wheel running distance in both sexes. There were main effects of VWR to improve glucose tolerance in female but not male mice. These findings show that GDF15 has sex-specific effects on food intake and consequently weight gain and adiposity. There is no added benefit of combining GDF15 and voluntary physical activity for weight loss. Adaptive responses to acute caloric restriction induced by GDF15 might limit its effectiveness as a weight loss tool in females.

Age-related increases in blood pressure are driven by complex systemic changes with poorly understood integrated mechanisms. The deconditioning experienced by ageing skeletal muscle from mid-life is associated with reduced microvascular blood flow and increased peripheral resistance, suggesting that vasodilatory decrements in the muscle may precede the age-related increases in blood pressure. Structural and functional changes within the vascular and skeletal muscle systems with advancing age can influence redox homeostasis, and vice versa, further compounding microvascular endothelial dysfunction. Therefore, comparisons between the microvascular environments of healthy and hypertensive cohorts can provide insights into the changes that occur during significant periods of functional decline. This comprehensive study protocol describes a microdialysis technique to assess the interactions of microvascular health and functional changes in the muscle, which currently cannot be otherwise addressed. Here, we detail an experimental protocol to simultaneously detect skeletal muscle ROS (H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> and indirect O<sub>2</sub> <sup>-</sup>), determine nutritive blood flow and assess microvascular endothelial function in response to acetylcholine stimulation. We expect that healthy middle-aged individuals should not have increased ROS generation in the muscle at rest, compared to their hypertensive or older counterparts, but may exhibit perturbed microvascular function. The described technique allows for intricate exploration of microvascular physiology that will provide a critically novel insight into benchmarking potential age-related mechanisms involved in the development of age-related hypertension, and aid in early identification and prevention. KEY POINTS: Increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and microvascular endothelial dysfunction precede the onset of age-related cardiometabolic and vascular conditions such as hypertension. The profound structural and functional changes that occur within the vasculature and in skeletal muscle from middle age prompt a need to mechanistically explore the microvascular environment in healthy and hypertensive individuals.

Many alarmins have been found to increase vascular tone and oppose endothelium-dependent dilatation (EDD). Interleukin (IL)-33 plays a prominent role in lung injury and can be released during vascular injury and in chronic studies found to be cardioprotective. Our recent work has implicated IL-33 in acute vascular dysfunction following inhalation of engineered nanomaterials (ENM). However, the mechanisms linking IL-33 to vascular tone have not been interrogated. We therefore aimed to determine whether IL-33 directly influenced microvascular tone and endothelial function. Isolated feed arteries and in vivo arterioles from male and female Sprague-Dawley rats were used to determine direct vascular actions of IL-33. Mesenteric feed arteries and arterioles demonstrated reduced intraluminal diameters when treated with increasing concentrations of recombinant IL-33. IL-33 activated extracellular signal regulated kinase (ERK)1/2 of rat aortic smooth muscle cells but not phosphorylation of myosin light chain kinase. This suggested IL-33 may sensitize arterioles to Ca<sup>2+</sup>-mediated responses. Indeed, IL-33 augmented the myogenic- and phenylephrine-induced vasoconstriction. Additionally, incubation of arterioles with 1 ng IL-33 attenuated ACh-mediated EDD. Mechanistically, in human aortic endothelial cells, we demonstrate that IL-33-mediated ERK1/2 activation leads to inhibitory phosphorylation of serine 602 on endothelial nitric oxide synthase. Finally, we demonstrate that IL-33-ERK1/2 contributes to vascular tone following two known inducers of IL-33; ENM inhalation and the rupture endothelial cells. The present study provides novel evidence that IL-33 increases vascular tone via canonical ERK1/2 activation in microvascular smooth muscle and endothelium. Altogether, it is suggested IL-33 plays a critical role in microvascular homeostasis following barrier cell injury. KEY POINTS: Interleukin (IL)-33 causes a concentration-dependent reduction in feed artery diameter. IL-33 acts on vascular smooth muscle cells to augment Ca<sup>2+</sup>-mediated processes.

The hypothalamic neuropeptide oxytocin (OT) is critically involved in regulating mood, and OTergic signalling in the central amygdala (CeA) is a key mechanism that controls emotional responses including anxiety-like behaviours. Still, whether an altered OTergic signalling contributes to mood disorders in HF remains unknown. To address this, we used an ischaemic rat HF model, along with a highly multidisciplinary approach, to mechanistically study multiple levels of the hypothalamus-to-CeA OTergic circuit in male rats with HF. We aimed to test the hypothesis that sustained activation of the OT system following an infarct leads to depletion of OT content in this pathway, with subsequent changes in OT receptor expression and blunted modulation of local GABAergic circuits. We found that most of OTergic innervation of the CeA originated from the supraoptic nucleus (SON). While no differences in the numbers of SON→CeA OTergic neurons was observed between sham and HF rats, we observed a blunted content and release of OT from axonal terminals within the CeA. Moreover, we report downregulation of neuronal and astrocytic OT receptors, and impaired OTR-driven GABAergic synaptic activity within the CeA microcircuit of HF rats. We provide the first evidence that male HF rats display perturbations in the hypothalamus-to-amygdala OTergic circuit, laying the foundation for future translational studies targeting either the OT system or GABAergic amygdalar microcircuit to ameliorate mood impairments in rats or patients with chronic HF.
