Background Obesity is a major health problem. Although heritability substantial, genetic mechanisms predisposing to obesity are not very well understood. We have performed genome wide association study (GWA) for early onset (extreme) obesity. Methodology/Principal Findings a) GWA (Genome-Wide Human SNP Array 5.0 comprising 440,794 single nucleotide polymorphisms) extreme based on 487 extremely obese young German individuals and 442 healthy lean controls; b) confirmatory analyses 644...

Glucagon, an essential regulator of glucose homeostasis, also modulates lipid metabolism and promotes weight loss, as reflected by the wasting observed in glucagonoma patients. Recently, coagonist peptides that include glucagon agonism have emerged promising therapeutic candidates for treatment obesity diabetes. We developed a novel stable soluble receptor (GcgR) agonist, which allowed vivo dissection action. As expected, chronic GcgR mice resulted hyperglycemia lower body fat plasma...
Uncertainty exists as to whether the glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor (GIPR) should be activated or inhibited for treatment of obesity. Gipr was recently demonstrated in hypothalamic feeding centers, but physiological relevance CNS remains unknown. Here we show that HFD-fed CNS-Gipr KO mice and humanized (h)GIPR knockin with CNS-hGIPR deletion decreased body weight improved glucose metabolism. In DIO mice, acute central peripheral administration acyl-GIP increases cFos...
Abstract The incretins glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) mediate insulin responses that are proportionate to nutrient intake facilitate glucose tolerance . GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R) is an established drug target for the treatment of diabetes obesity 2 , whereas therapeutic potential GIP (GIPR) a subject debate. Tirzepatide agonist at both GIPR GLP-1R highly effective type 3,4 However, although tirzepatide activates in cell lines mouse...
Adipocyte-derived extracellular vesicles (AdEVs) are membranous nanoparticles that convey communication from adipose tissue to other organs. Here, delineate their role as messengers with glucoregulatory nature, we paired fluorescence AdEV-tracing and SILAC-labeling (phospho)proteomics, revealed AdEVs transfer functional insulinotropic protein cargo into pancreatic β-cells. Upon transfer, AdEV proteins were subjects for phosphorylation, augmented GPCR/cAMP/PKA signaling by increasing total...
