Findings on Proglucagon Reported by Investigators at University of Sao Paulo (The Blood Pressure Lowering Effects of Glucagon-like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists: a Mini-review of the Mechanisms)

2023 APR 21 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at NewsRx Hematology Daily -- Investigators publish new report on Peptide Proteins - Proglucagon.

Review Description

The incretin hormone glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) is a key component of the signaling mechanisms promoting glucose homeostasis. Clinical and experimental studies demonstrated that GLP-1 receptor agonists, including GLP-1 itself, have favorable effects on blood pressure and reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events, independently of their effect on glycemic control. GLP-1 receptors are present in the hypothalamus and brainstem, the carotid body, the vasculature, and the kidneys. These organs are involved in blood pressure regulation, have their function altered in hypertension, and are positively benefited by the treatment with GLP-1 receptor agonists. Here, we discuss the potential mechanisms whereby activation of GLP-1R signaling exerts blood pressure-lowering effects beyond glycemic control.
