Abstract
Incretins, such as glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), have advanced the treatment landscape of obesity to a new pinnacle. As opposed to singular incretin effects, oxyntomodulin (OXM) activates glucagon receptors (GCGR) and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptors (GLP1R), demonstrating a more dynamic range of effects that are more likely to align with evolving 'health gains' goals in obesity care. Here, we will review the molecular insights from their inception to recent developments and challenges. This review will discuss the physiological actions of OXM, primarily appetite regulation, energy expenditure, and glucose homeostasis. Finally, we will shed light on the development of OXM-based therapies for obesity and associated complications, and outline important considerations for more translational efforts.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Physiology publishes full-length original Research Papers and Techniques for Physiology, which are short papers aimed at disseminating new techniques for physiological research. Articles solicited by the Editorial Board include Perspectives, Symposium Reports and Topical Reviews, which highlight areas of special physiological interest. CrossTalk articles are short editorial-style invited articles framing a debate between experts in the field on controversial topics. Letters to the Editor and Journal Club articles are also published. All categories of papers are subjected to peer reivew.
The Journal of Physiology welcomes submitted research papers in all areas of physiology. Authors should present original work that illustrates new physiological principles or mechanisms. Papers on work at the molecular level, at the level of the cell membrane, single cells, tissues or organs and on systems physiology are all acceptable. Theoretical papers and papers that use computational models to further our understanding of physiological processes will be considered if based on experimentally derived data and if the hypothesis advanced is directly amenable to experimental testing. While emphasis is on human and mammalian physiology, work on lower vertebrate or invertebrate preparations may be suitable if it furthers the understanding of the functioning of other organisms including mammals.
