The "incretin effect" describes the enhanced insulin response from orally ingested glucose compared with intravenous glucose leading to identical postprandial plasma glucose excursions. It makes up to 60% of the postprandial insulin secretion but is diminished in type 2 diabetes. Gastrointestinal hormones promoting the incretin effect are called incretins. Glucagon-like peptide- 1 (GLP-1) is an important incretin. In vitro and animal data have demonstrated that GLP-1 increases beta-cell mass by stimulating islet cell neogenesis and by inhibiting apoptosis of islets. The improvement of beta-cell function can be indirectly observed from the increased insulin secretory capacity of humans receiving GLP-1 or incretin mimetics that act like GLP-1. Furthermore, GLP-1 inhibits glucagon secretion and rarely causes hypoglycemia. It may represent an attractive therapeutic method for type 2 diabetes because of its multiple effects, including a slowing of gastric emptying and the simulation of satiety by acting as a transmitter in the CNS. Native GLP-1 is degraded rapidly upon intravenous or subcutaneous administration and is therefore not feasable for routine therapy. Long-acting GLP-1 analogs (e.g., Liraglutide [Novo Nordisk, Copenhagen, Denmark]) and exenadin-4 (Exenatide [Eli Lilly, Indianapolis, IN]) that are resistant to degradation, called "incretin mimetics," are being investigated in clinical trials. Dipeptidyl peptidase IV inhibitors (e.g., Vildagliptin [Novartis, Basel, Switzerland]) that inhibit the enzyme responsible for incretin degradation are also under study.

PS - Ваша статья, Алескандр, о присылке которой в "Проблемы ..." я Вас просила, принята в пятницу на редколлегии- мне очень это приятно.
