Glp 1 7 36 amide
GLP-1 7-36 amide is a synthetic peptide that corresponds to the 7-36 amino acid sequence of the endogenous glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) hormone. It is a commonly used reagent in research applications.

Peptide Hormone Preparation and Verification
Sterile 0.9% (w/v) saline was purchased from Bayer. Using an aseptic technique in a laminar flow cabinet, PYY3–36 and GLP-17–36 amide were separately dissolved in 0.9% saline, aliquoted into vials, and freeze dried. Representative PYY3–36 and GLP-17–36 amide vials were sterile after culture for 7 days (Department of Microbiology, Hammersmith Hospital, London, United Kingdom), and endotoxin levels as measured by the Limulus Amoebocyte Lysate test (Associates of Cape Cod) were within the safe range for human infusion. Further representative vials of both PYY3–36 and GLP-17–36 amide were randomly selected and sent for amino acid analysis by Alta Bioscience to calculate the actual peptide content of the vials. The bioactivity of the peptides was verified by measuring the suppression of food intake over 24 hours when injected sc into C57/BL6 mice (12 (link)), and by receptor-binding affinity assays using membranes prepared from HEK293 cells overexpressing recombinant human Y2 or GLP-1 receptor (25 (link)).
Gastric Emptying and GLP-1 Infusion
Each subject attended the hospital after an overnight fast on two occasions separated by at least 4 days to be studied under regimens A and B in a randomized, double-blind fashion. Randomization was carried out by the Royal Adelaide Hospital Pharmacy using a Web-based program. Allocation concealment was maintained throughout. An intravenous catheter was inserted into each arm for drug delivery and blood sampling. Gastric emptying was measured at approximately the same time of day in each subject. During study visits, energy intake was standardized and subjects remained sitting or lying, unless toileting. GLP-1 (7–36)amide (Bachem, Germany) was infused at a rate of 0.8 pmol/kg/min, which is known to result in receptor stimulation representative of pharmacological agents (11 (link)). Placebo was 0.9% sodium chloride, and all study drugs were infused at 1 mL/min.
Pancreas Perfusion for GLP-1R Assessment
The stomach, kidney, and spleen were tied off. Proximally to the celiac artery, the aorta was ligated, and a catheter was inserted in the aorta thereby providing arterial perfusion with a modified Krebs-Ringer bicarbonate buffer (in mM: 118.3 NaCl, 3.0 KCL, 2.6 CaCl2*2H2O, 1.2 KH2PO4, 1.2 MgSO*2H2O, 25.0 NaHCO3, 10 glucose, 0.1% bovine serum albumin, 5% dextran) (Pharmacosmos). Effluent samples were collected through a portal vein catheter every minute. The perfusion system (UP-100 universal perfusion system, Hugo Sachs Electronic) had a constant flow of 1 mL/min, perfusion buffer was maintained at 37°C, oxygenated with 95% O2 to 5% CO2, and perfusion pressure (40-50 mmHg) was monitored throughout the experiment. GLP-1R KO mice or WT littermates (n = 8) were stimulated for 10 minutes with 0.1 nM and 1.0 nM GLP-1 7-36 amide (Bachem) at 15 and 40 minutes, respectively. At the end of the experiments, L-arginine was added as a positive control (10 mM).
Insulin concentrations in venous effluents were quantified by use of an in-house radioimmunoassay, employing ab code 2006-3 (47 , 48 (link)).

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
