Oxyntomodulin raises natural heart rate in mice without involving the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor

Abstract
Peripherally administered Oxyntomodulin (OXM) significantly increased heart rate by >200 beats/min, reaching a maximum of 728 ± 11 beats/min in wild-type mice.
- OXM elevates intrinsic heart rate in mice, independent of the sympathetic nervous system.
- The increase in heart rate is observed in both wild-type and Glp-1R(-/-) mice, suggesting a GLP-1 receptor-independent mechanism.
- OXM also inhibits food intake and reduces activity levels in wild-type mice, effects that are dependent on the GLP-1 receptor.
- Body temperature is lowered by OXM in autonomically blocked mice, indicating additional physiological effects.
