Summary: Bitter substances have effects on gut hormone secretion, gastric motility, food intake, and blood glucose, which may potentially help in managing or preventing obesity and type 2 diabetes. However, more research is needed to confirm their translation to health outcomes.

Summary: This article discusses the reasons for sub-optimal bioavailability of macromolecules from PE dosage forms and suggests approaches to improve performance in humans. Optimization of co-localization of the PE with the macromolecule at the epithelial surface is crucial for effective permeation enhancement. Innovative delivery systems have been developed to overcome challenges in achieving optimal co-localization in the GI tract.

Summary: In this study, the use of c-peptide as a metric for insulin secretion during the cephalic phase period was investigated. The results showed that c-peptide and insulin had a similar time course during the cephalic phase period, but c-peptide had a greater effect size. Importantly, changes in c-peptide concentrations were significantly correlated across sessions, whereas no significant correlations were observed for changes in insulin concentrations.

Summary: The study found that a 2-hour infusion of VIP caused migraine attacks in 71% of patients, mimicking their spontaneous attacks. Additionally, the area under the curve of headache intensity scores and the superficial temporal artery diameter were significantly greater after VIP compared with placebo infusion.

Summary: This study investigated the altered responses to dehydration including thirst, ad libitum water intake, and copeptin in men with obesity, and found that those with obesity reported feeling less thirsty and had decreased copeptin response. Hormone levels did not explain these differences, and leptin may be a factor influencing thirst and copeptin responses. These findings suggest that obesity may impact the pathways regulating thirst and vasopressin release.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of exogenous LEAP2 on postprandial glucose metabolism and ad libitum food intake. The results show that LEAP2 infusion lowers postprandial plasma glucose and growth hormone concentrations and decreases food intake.

Summary: Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogels loaded with soybean peptide (SPE) were prepared and showed potential applications in oral peptide delivery. The release of SPE from hydrogels was controlled by the diffusion and swelling rate of the shrinkage hydrogel network. The release behavior was described by the Korsmeyer-Peppas equation, indicating a super case II transport.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of gastric distension on the secretion of GIP and GLP-1 in healthy individuals. The results showed that gastric distension did not significantly stimulate the secretion of GLP-1 and GIP, regardless of the presence or absence of small intestinal nutrients.

Summary: This paper describes an optimized analytical assay pipeline for screening compounds to modulate L-cell signaling. The pipeline utilizes a human intestinal tissue construct enriched in L-cells and standard antibody-based GLP-1 assays to quantify GLP-1 secretion. Additionally, by adding specific compounds and altering the culture conditions, the number of L-cells is increased to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of conventional enzyme-linked immunoassays.

Summary: This study further analyzed a group of low-redshift iron low-ionization broad-absorption-line quasars. The research found an inverse correlation between outflow velocity and BAL location in high-accretion-rate objects, while low-accretion-rate objects showed the opposite trend.

Summary: In cattle, casein infusion can increase pancreatic alpha-amylase activity, while exogenous GLP-2 can increase small intestinal alpha-glucosidase activity. Furthermore, the combination of casein and GLP-2 can increase both pancreatic alpha-amylase activity and small intestinal alpha-glucosidase activity, providing an in vivo model to evaluate the effects of increasing endogenous carbohydrase activity on small intestinal starch digestion.

Summary: The study demonstrates that soybean protein may reduce appetite in pigs by triggering duodenal cholecystokinin secretion through activating calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) and the intracellular calcium/TRPM5 pathway.

Summary: Studies have shown low expression of MC4R in L-cells of mice and humans, and administration of MC4R agonists did not stimulate GLP-1 secretion in isolated perfused mouse and rat small intestine models. The data suggest that MC4R-activated GLP-1 secretion in rodents may occur exclusively in the colon or involve extra-intestinal signaling.

Summary: This study tested the impact of different protein compositions of enteral formulas on gastric content volume in healthy volunteers, mimicking the gastrointestinal conditions of critically ill patients. Results suggest that a certain protein blend (P4) may lead to faster gastric emptying compared to a casein-dominant formula (Cas), with less gastric accumulation.
