Glucagon-like peptide 1 and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide trigger substance P release from specific sensory nerves

Abstract

Postprandial mesenteric lymphatic fluid induced a twofold higher increase in intracellular calcium in sensory neurons compared to fasted states.

  • GLP-1 and GIP are released during nutrient ingestion and are known to lower blood sugar by enhancing insulin secretion.
  • These incretins were shown to induce the secretion of substance P from cultured sensory neurons, which is associated with increased insulin secretion.
  • The stimulation of sensory neurons by mesenteric lymphatic fluid is dependent on dietary intake.
  • Inhibition of specific ion channels eliminated the observed differences in calcium responses, indicating their role in this process.
  • The findings suggest that GLP-1 and GIP may act as neurolymphocrines, influencing sensory nerve responses to dietary changes.
