The gut - brain axis mechanism regulating insulin secretion and sensitivity involves the vagus nerve. GLP-1 is believed to bind to and activate vagal afferent neurons originating from the nodose ganglion, thereby increasing neuronal activity in projections to the solitary nucleus in the brainstem.

Gut microbiota dysbiosis reduces expression of GLP‐1 receptor (GLP‐1R) and neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) in the enteric nervous system and hampers GLP‐1‐induced nitric oxide (NO) production through a pattern recognition receptor (PRR)‐dependent mechanism, hence preventing activation of the gut - brain -periphery axis for control of insulin secretion and gastric emptying.

Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1)-based therapies control glycemia in type 2 diabetic (T2D) patients. However, in some patients the treatment must be discontinued, defining a state of GLP-1 resistance. In animal models we identified a specific set of ileum bacteria impairing the GLP-1-activated gut - brain axis for the control of insulin secretion and gastric emptying. Using prediction algorithms ...

Targeting the brain
This review systematically delineates the critical role of the sodium-glucose cotransporter 1 (SGLT-1) in metabolic control and elaborates on the molecular mechanisms through which glucagon-like peptide-1 ( GLP-1 ) modulates metabolic homeostasis via the brain - gut -taste axis .
The role of gut hormone signaling in the nervous system is enormously complex, and the physiologic relevance of gut hormones in the regulation of food intake and bodyweight remains controversial. However, when administered systemically at pharmacologic doses, many of these peptides have potent anorexigenic effects. Due to the clinical success of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists ( GLP ...

GLP-1 exerts a strong incretin effect; that is, it stimulates glucose-dependent stimulation of insulin secretion via the GLP -1R expressed in pancreatic islets. GLP-1 also causes a reduction in plasma glucagon concentrations, delayed gastric emptying, appetite suppression via neuronal pathways, and decreased hepatic glucose production [57].

The Gut
The concept of the gut - brain axis — bidirectional communication between the gastrointestinal system and the central nervous system — is central to understanding how GLP-1 suppresses appetite. GLP-1 is produced in the gut , but its most impactful effects on body weight are mediated through the brain . How the signal gets from the intestinal L-cells to the hypothalamic circuits controlling ...

Regulation of glycaemia by glucagon-like peptide-1 ( GLP-1 ). This schematic illustrates the multifaceted role of GLP-1 in glucose homeostasis. Secreted from L-cells in the gut , GLP-1 acts on pancreatic β-cells, stimulating insulin release via cAMP/PKA signalling and promoting cell survival. It concurrently inhibits glucagon secretion from α-cells, both directly and through somatostatin ...
