Our Study • Prospective • Single site • Non-randomized • Pilot study
Glucagon Like Peptide-1 • GLP-1 in a gut-derived incretin hormone that is secreted in response to nutrients. • It is a degradation product of pre-proglucagon molecule, a 179 amino acid residue, a product of single Glucagon gene. • Gene is expressed in the Alpha-cells of pancreas, L-cells of Gut & neurons of the brainstem. • GLP-1(7-36) is one of the 5 separately processed domains of pre-proglucagon. This is processed in the L-cells of the gut.

GLP-1 receptor • G-protein coupled receptor.
GLP-1 contd • GLP-1 (7-36) is biologically active having both insulinomimetic and insulinotropic activity. • GLP-1 has glucoregulatory effects including • Augmentation of glucose-stimulated insulin secretion • Suppression of postprandial glucagon secretion • Delayed gastric emptying • Hypothalmic-mediated satiety of apetite. • Primarily implicated in the control of appetite and satiety.
GLP-1 and Exenatide • Exenatide is a synthetic analogue of exendin-4 found in salivary secretion of Gila Monster, Heloderma suspectum- “Lizard spit” • Exenatide, GLP-1 analogue, is a 39-residue reptilian peptide. • It shares 53% of its amino acid sequence with mammilian GLP-1 • It is functionally similar to mammalian GLP-1. • Half life of exenatide is 2.4 hrs vs. 1 -4 minute for GLP-1

Myocardium, “Metabolic omnivore” • Normal heart utilizes NEFAs (preferably), Glucose and lactate for the production ATP1,2 • Under stress –Myocardial infarction and CHF- it switches to Glucose preferably3 • Energetically more efficient. • Less O2 requirement for ATP production. • Metabolic adaption and flexibility by • Physiological changes and • Transcriptional mechanism4 1.

Congestive Heart Failure -“An Insulin Resistant State” • Loss of metabolic flexibility exhibits- • Early metabolic dysregulation in failing heart1 • Features of insulin resistance2,3 • Left Ventricular dysfunction results in • Myocardial insulin resistance as well as • Whole body insulin resistance • Magnitude and cellular mechanism underlying myocardial insulin resistance demonstrated in concious dogs with DCM3 • Increased glucose utilization can improve Cardiac function. • Giuseppa Paolisso et al demonstrated high norepinephrine levels associated with insulin resistance in in CHF patients4. 1.

Over come insulin resistance and improve glucose Utilization • Glucose-insulin-potassium (GIK) infusion has been used as an adjuvant to MI- mixed results. • GIK infusion can’t be used in CHF- volume • GLP-1 has similar effects on glucose metabolism. • GLP-1 has been effective in Acute MI1 1.

MUGA Scan Time vs. Change in LVEF % • No linear relation was seen between “Duration of MUGA scan” and “Change in LVEF %”.
Conclusion • Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) significantly improved 60 minutes after administration of Exenatide • Improvement in LVEF was seen in both- • Diabetic and • Non-diabetics • There was no increasing tendency of change in LVEF with high average MUGA scan time. • Blood sugar significantly decreased.
Conclusion contd. • No significant change in- • End diastolic volume index (EDVI) • End systolic volume index (ESVI) • Heart rate (HR) and • Mean arterial pressure (MAP).
Further Recommendations • No study has yet been conducted to elucidate the long term effects of GLP-1 in large clinical trials (randomised, blinded and adequately powered) • This paucity appears to be due to technical difficulties with the continuous infusion of GLP-1. • Exenatide used in the standard doses, technically feasible, has providing the promisisng results in our Pilot Study
Limitation of Our Study • Non-randomized. • Small number of subjects. • Short-Term effect.
