Abstract

Acute infusion of GLP-1 into the brain potentiates glucose-stimulated insulin secretion and improves glucose tolerance.

  • Acute brain GLP-1 infusion enhances insulin secretion in response to glucose.
  • Blocking brain GLP-1 receptors impairs glucose handling after a glucose load.
  • Sustained activation of brain GLP-1 receptors does not affect insulin secretion or glucose tolerance.
  • In high-fat diet mice, acute GLP-1 infusion improves glucose tolerance without altering insulin secretion.
  • Chronic activation of brain GLP-1 receptors does not influence glucose homeostasis.
