Gut T Cells Feast on GLP-1 to Modulate Cardiometabolic Disease
Abstract
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is an enteroendocrine hormone that controls insulin secretion, intestinal function, and food intake. Recently in Nature, He et al. (2019) reported that gut intraepithelial T cells regulate GLP-1 bioavailability by capturing it on GLP-1 receptors and impacting L-cell numbers. This study delineates a novel endocrine-immune axis through which intestinal immune cells regulate whole-body metabolism.
