Isolation and characterisation of GLP-1 7–36 amide from rat intestine Elevated levels in diabetic rats
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) was purified to homogeneity by HPLC and anion-exchange chromatography. A molecular mass of 3297.4 Da was obtained by FAB mass spectrometry which corresponded exactly to GLP-1 7–36 NH 2, providing evidence that amidation occurs at an arginine residue during the post-tr...

Zusammenfassung: | Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) was purified to homogeneity by HPLC and anion-exchange chromatography. A molecular mass of 3297.4 Da was obtained by FAB mass spectrometry which corresponded exactly to GLP-1 7–36 NH
2, providing evidence that amidation occurs at an arginine residue during the post-translational processing of GLP-1. The distribution of GLP-1 7–36 NH
2-like immunoreactivity (GLP-1 7–36 NH
2 IR) was determined in the rat gastrointestinal tract. Highest concentrations were found in terminal ileum and colon. Streptozocin-induced diabetic rats, who showed a significant increase in food intake, had a significant increase of GLP-1 7–36 NH
2 IR in the colon. |
