title: Calcitonin gene-related peptide potently stimulates glucagon-like peptide-1 release in the isolated perfused rat ileum.
abstract: The post-prandial release of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) from the distal gut appears to involve a neural reflex that arises from the proximal gut. The neuropeptide calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP)'s potent stimulatory effect on GLP-1 release was characterized, using the isolated vascularly perfused rat ileum. CGRP, but not its homolog amylin, induced a dose-dependent and sustained release of GLP-1. This effect was greatly reduced in the presence of CGRP(8-37), was abolished by galanin, potentiated by luminal glucose and unaffected by atropine. GIP enhanced, but did not potentiate, this effect. The results reveal how CGRP is involved in the complex regulation of GLP-1 release.
