The truncated glucagon-like peptides GLP-1(7-37) is naturally occurring peptide product of the preproglucagon gene that are synthesized primarily in the intestine and acts as incretin that are released from the intestine into the bloodstream in response to food and stimulate insulin secretion. GLP-1(7-37) produced a dose-related enhancement of the glucose-stimulated increase in plasma insulin concentration and an increased rate of glucose infusion in Sprague-Dawley Rats at a dosing rang of 0.5, 5, or 50 pmol/min/kg. Further, infusion of GLP-1(7-37) for 60 mins produced a small transitory increase in plasma insulin concentration in fasted rats and fed rats and a slight transitory decrease in plasma glucose concentration. Moreover, GLP-1(7-37) (5 pmol/min/kg IV) infusion for 6 h in Sprague-Dawley rats produced a sustained increase in plasma insulin concentration relative to levels in rats infused with vehicle[1].
