We investigated the effect of ILŠ\6 on GLPŠ\1 secretion in GLPŠ\1 producing cells (GLUTag) and using the perfused mouse small intestine (harboring GLPŠ\1 producing cells). Furthermore, the direct effect of ILŠ\6 on insulin and glucagon secretion was studied using isolated perfused mouse pancreas. Incubating GLUTag cells with 1000 ng/mL of ILŠ\6 for 2 h did not significantly increase secretion of GLPŠ\1 whereas 10 mmol/L glucose (positive control) did. Similarly, ILŠ\6 (100 ng/mL) had no effect on GLPŠ\1 secretion from perfused mouse small intestine whereas bombesin (positive control) increased secretion. Finally, administering ILŠ\6 (100 ng/mL) to perfused mouse pancreases did not significantly increase insulin or glucagon secretion regardless of perfusate glucose levels (3.5 vs. 12 mmol/L glucose). Acute effects of ILŠ\6 therefore do not seem to include a stimulatory effect on GLPŠ\1 secretion in mice %K GLPŠ\1 %K glucagon %K glucose %K ILŠ\6 %K insulin %U https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6035335/
