Background: The influence of Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) with subclinical hypothyroidism or euthyroid status on the alteration of glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-1 and GLP-2 levels remains uncertain.
Materials And Methods: Twenty-four untreated HT patients with subclinical hypothyroidism, 24 euthyroid HT patients, and 24 age- and gender-matched controls were enrolled in the study. The levels of GLP-1, GLP-2, glucose, glycated albumin, insulin, thyroid hormone, and thyroid autoantibodies were measured and evaluated.
Results: The levels of GLP-1, blood glucose, and triglyceride were higher in HT patients with subclinical hypothyroidism than in controls (all P < 0.05, respectively). However, the above variables, including GLP-2, were similar in euthyroid patients and controls. Neither GLP-1 nor GLP-2 was correlated with thyroid hormone, thyroid autoantibodies or metabolic parameters.
Conclusion: The serum levels of GLP-1, not GLP-2, were increased in patients with subclinical hypothyroidism. Our data suggest that subclinical hypothyroidism affects circulating GLP-1 levels.

Short bowel syndrome (SBS) is an intestinal disorder characterized by reduced length of the gut most due to intestinal resection, resulting in malabsorption, malnutrition, and water and electrolyte disturbances. Intestinal adaptation is a long-term process in which GIT hormones, growth peptides, cytokines etc. are involved.

Context: Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) induces greater acute suppression of bone resorption than isoglycaemic intravenous glucose infusions (IIGI).
Objective: To study the separate and combined effects of the gut-derived hormones glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) and glucagon-like peptide 2 (GLP-2) on postprandial bone turnover.
Design: A randomized, crossover study with 6 experimental days.

Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of a fixed-ratio combination of insulin glargine 100 U/mL and lixisenatide (iGlarLixi) over 24 months in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D).
Methods: In this retrospective, observational study, data were collected from the Optum Market Clarity® database in the United States. People with T2D aged ≥18 years, previously treated with oral antidiabetic drugs ± basal insulin or glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, who initiated iGlarLixi between 1 January 2017 and 31 March 2020 and received ≥1 iGlarLixi prescription were included.

Obesity-driven inflammation disrupts gut barrier integrity and promotes inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Emerging evidence highlights gut hormones-including glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2), glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), peptide YY (PYY), cholecystokinin (CCK), and apolipoprotein A4 (APOA4)-as key regulators of metabolism and mucosal immunity. This review outlines known mechanisms and explores therapeutic prospects in IBD.

Proglucagon-derived peptides represent a class of peptide hormones derived from the proglucagon precursor. These peptides, including glucagon, glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), glucagon-like peptide 2 (GLP-2) and oxyntomodulin, exert diverse effects on several aspects of human physiology, ranging from glucose, lipid and protein metabolism to appetite regulation, nutrient absorption and gastrointestinal motility. Their actions are mediated by distinct G protein-coupled receptors, influencing endocrine, neuroendocrine, and metabolic processes, and over recent decades, the proglucagon-derived peptides have emerged as central players in the management of metabolic and gastrointestinal diseases.
