Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP1) is postulated to regulate blood glucose and satiety, but the biological importance of GLP1 as an incretin and neuropeptide remains controversial. The regulation of nutrient-induced insulin secretion is dependent on the secretion of incretins, gut-derived peptides that potentiate insulin secretion from the pancreatic islets'. To ascertain the relative physiological importance of GLP1 as a regulator of feeding behavior and insulin secretion, we have generated mice with a targeted disruption of the GLP1 receptor gene (GLP1R). These GLP1R(-/-) mice are viable, develop normally but exhibit circulating insulin. It is surprising that they also exhibit abnormal levels of blood glucose following intraperitoneal glucose challenge. Intracerebroventricular administration of GLP1 inhibited-feeding in wild-type mice but not in GLP1R(-/-) mice; however, no evidence for abnormal body weight or feeding behavior was observed in GLP1R(-/-) mice. These observations demonstrate that GLP1 plays a central role in the regulation of glycemia; however, disruption of GLP1/GLP1R signaling in the central nervous system is not associated with perturbation of feeding behavior or obesity in vivo.
