Abstract
Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) are peptide hormones produced by enteroendocrine cells in the small intestine. Despite being produced in the gut, the leveraging of their role in potentiating glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, also known as the incretin effect, has distracted from discernment of direct intestinal signaling circuits. Both preclinical and clinical evidence have highlighted a role for the incretins in inflammation. In this review, we highlight the discoveries of GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R)+ natural (TCRαβ and TCRγδ) and induced (TCRαβ+CD4+ cells and TCRαβ+CD8αβ+) intraepithelial lymphocytes. Both endogenous signaling and pharmacological activation of GLP-1R impact local and systemic inflammation, the gut microbiota, whole-body metabolism, as well as the control of GLP-1 bioavailability. While GIPR signaling has been documented to impact hematopoiesis, the impact of these bone marrow-derived cells in gut immunology is not well understood. We uncover gaps in the literature of the evaluation of the impact of sex in these GLP-1R and GIP receptor (GIPR) signaling circuits and provide speculations of the maintenance roles these hormones play within the gut in the fasting-refeeding cycles. GLP-1R agonists and GLP-1R/GIPR agonists are widely used as treatments for diabetes and weight loss, respectively; however, their impact on gut homeostasis has not been fully explored. Advancing our understanding of the roles of GLP-1R and GIPR signaling within the gut at homeostasis as well as metabolic and inflammatory diseases may provide targets to improve disease management.

Abstract
During periods of prolonged fasting/starvation, the liver generates ketones [i.e., β-hydroxybutyrate (βOHB)] that primarily serve as alternative substrates for ATP production. Previous studies have demonstrated that elevations in skeletal muscle ketone oxidation contribute to obesity-related hyperglycemia, whereas inhibition of succinyl CoA:3-ketoacid CoA transferase (SCOT), the rate-limiting enzyme of ketone oxidation, can alleviate obesity-related hyperglycemia. As circulating ketone levels are a key determinant of ketone oxidation rates, we tested the hypothesis that increases in circulating ketone levels would worsen glucose homeostasis secondary to increases in muscle ketone oxidation. Accordingly, male C57BL/6J mice were subjected to high-fat diet-induced obesity, whereas their lean counterparts received a standard chow diet. Lean and obese mice were orally administered either a ketone ester (KE) or placebo, followed by a glucose tolerance test. In tandem, we conducted isolated islet perifusion experiments to quantify insulin secretion in response to ketones. We observed that exogenous KE administration robustly increases circulating βOHB levels, which was associated with an improvement in glucose tolerance only in obese mice. These observations were independent of muscle ketone oxidation, as they were replicated in mice with a skeletal muscle-specific SCOT deficiency. Furthermore, the R-isomer of βOHB produced greater increases in perifusion insulin levels versus the S-isomer in isolated islets from obese mice. Taken together, acute elevations in circulating ketones promote glucose-lowering in obesity. Given that only the R-isomer of βOHB is oxidized, further studies are warranted to delineate the precise role of β-cell ketone oxidation in regulating insulin secretion.NEW & NOTEWORTHY It has been demonstrated that increased skeletal muscle ketone metabolism contributes to obesity-related hyperglycemia. Since increases in ketone supply are key determinants of organ ketone oxidation rates, we determined whether acute elevations in circulating ketones following administration of an oral ketone ester may worsen glucose homeostasis in lean or obese mice. Our work demonstrates the opposite, as acute elevations in circulating ketones improved glucose tolerance in obese mice.

Abstract
Mice systemically lacking dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4) have improved islet health, glucoregulation, and reduced obesity with high-fat diet (HFD) feeding compared to wild-type mice. Some, but not all, of this improvement can be linked to the loss of DPP4 in endothelial cells (ECs), pointing to the contribution of non-EC types. The importance of intra-islet signaling mediated by α to β cell communication is becoming increasingly clear; thus, our objective was to determine if β cell DPP4 regulates insulin secretion and glucose tolerance in HFD-fed mice by regulating the local concentrations of insulinotropic peptides. Using β cell double incretin receptor knockout mice, β cell- and pancreas-specific Dpp4-/- mice, we reveal that β cell incretin receptors are necessary for DPP4 inhibitor effects. However, although β cell DPP4 modestly contributes to high glucose (16.7 mM)-stimulated insulin secretion in isolated islets, it does not regulate whole-body glucose homeostasis.

Abstract
Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) represents a growing cause of mortality and morbidity and encompasses a spectrum of liver pathologies. While dozens of preclinical models have been developed to recapitulate stages of MAFLD, few achieve fibrosis using an experimental design that mimics human pathogenesis. We sought to clarify whether the combination of thermoneutral (TN) housing and consumption of a classical Western diet (WD) would accelerate the onset and progression of MAFLD. Male and female C57Bl/6J mice were fed a nutrient-matched low-fat control or Western diet (WD) for 16 weeks. Mice were housed with littermates at either standard temperature (TS; 22°C) or thermoneutral-like conditions (TN; ~29°C). Male but not female mice housed at TN and fed a WD were significantly heavier than TS -housed control animals. WD-fed mice housed under TN conditions had lower levels of circulating glucose compared to TS mice; however, there were select but minimal differences in other circulating markers. While WD-fed TN males had higher liver enzyme and higher liver triglyceride levels, no differences in markers of liver injury or hepatic lipid accumulation were observed in females. Housing temperature had little effect on histopathological scoring of MAFLD progression in males; however, while female mice retained a level of protection, WD-TN conditions trended toward a worsened hepatic phenotype, which was associated with higher macrophage transcript expression and content. Our results indicate that interventions coupling TN housing and WD-induced MAFLD should be longer than 16 weeks to accelerate hepatic steatosis and increase inflammation in both sexes of mice.

Abstract
Navigating the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19, now COVID) pandemic has required resilience and creativity worldwide. Despite early challenges to productivity, more than 2,000 peer-reviewed articles on islet biology were published in 2021. Herein, we highlight noteworthy advances in islet research between January 2021 and April 2022, focussing on 5 areas. First, we discuss new insights into the role of glucokinase, mitogen-activated protein kinase-kinase/extracellular signal-regulated kinase and mitochondrial function on insulin secretion from the pancreatic β cell, provided by new genetically modified mouse models and live imaging. We then discuss a new connection between lipid handling and improved insulin secretion in the context of glucotoxicity, focussing on fatty acid-binding protein 4 and fetuin-A. Advances in high-throughput "omic" analysis evolved to where one can generate more finely tuned genetic and molecular profiles within broad classifications of type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes. Next, we highlight breakthroughs in diabetes treatment using stem cell-derived β cells and innovative strategies to improve islet survival posttransplantation. Last, we update our understanding of the impact of severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 infection on pancreatic islet function and discuss current evidence regarding proposed links between COVID and new-onset diabetes. We address these breakthroughs in 2 settings: one for a scientific audience and the other for the public, particularly those living with or affected by diabetes. Bridging biomedical research in diabetes to the community living with or affected by diabetes, our partners living with type 1 diabetes or type 2 diabetes also provide their perspectives on these latest advances in islet biology.

Abstract
Low-grade inflammation is central to coronary artery disease (CAD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) and is reduced by exercise training. The objective of this study was to compare the anti-inflammatory potential of moderate-to-vigorous intensity continuous training (MICT) and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) in patients with CAD with or without T2D. The design and setting of this study is based on a secondary analysis of registered randomized clinical trial NCT02765568. Male patients with CAD were randomly assigned to either MICT or HIIT, with subgroups divided according to T2D status (non-T2D-HIIT n = 14 and non-T2D-MICT n = 13; T2D-HIIT n = 6 and T2D-MICT n = 5). The intervention was a 12-week cardiovascular rehabilitation program consisting of either MICT or HIIT (twice weekly sessions) and circulating cytokines measured pre- and post-training as inflammatory markers. The co-occurrence of CAD and T2D was associated with increased plasma IL-8 (p = 0.0331). There was an interaction between T2D and the effect of the training interventions on plasma FGF21 (p = 0.0368) and IL-6 (p = 0.0385), which were further reduced in the T2D groups. An interaction between T2D, training modalities, and the effect of time (p = 0.0415) was detected for SPARC, with HIIT increasing circulating concentrations in the control group, while lowering them in the T2D group, and the inverse occurring with MICT. The interventions also reduced plasma FGF21 (p = 0.0030), IL-6 (p = 0.0101), IL-8 (p = 0.0087), IL-10 (p < 0.0001), and IL-18 (p = 0.0009) irrespective of training modality or T2D status. HIIT and MICT resulted in similar reductions in circulating cytokines known to be increased in the context of low-grade inflammation in CAD patients, an effect more pronounced in patients with T2D for FGF21 and IL-6.

Abstract
Elevated circulating dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4) is a biomarker for liver disease, but its involvement in gluconeogenesis and metabolic associated fatty liver disease progression remains unclear. Here, we identified that DPP4 in hepatocytes but not TEK receptor tyrosine kinase-positive endothelial cells regulates the local bioactivity of incretin hormones and gluconeogenesis. However, the complete absence of DPP4 (Dpp4-/-) in aged mice with metabolic syndrome accelerates liver fibrosis without altering dyslipidemia and steatosis. Analysis of transcripts from the livers of Dpp4-/- mice displayed enrichment for inflammasome, p53, and senescence programs compared with littermate controls. High-fat, high-cholesterol feeding decreased Dpp4 expression in F4/80+ cells, with only minor changes in immune signaling. Moreover, in a lean mouse model of severe nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, phosphatidylethanolamine N-methyltransferase mice, we observed a 4-fold increase in circulating DPP4, in contrast with previous findings connecting DPP4 release and obesity. Last, we evaluated DPP4 levels in patients with hepatitis C infection with dysglycemia (Homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance > 2) who underwent direct antiviral treatment (with/without ribavirin). DPP4 protein levels decreased with viral clearance; DPP4 activity levels were reduced at long-term follow-up in ribavirin-treated patients; but metabolic factors did not improve. These data suggest elevations in DPP4 during hepatitis C infection are not primarily regulated by metabolic disturbances.

Abstract
Diabetes is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, including diabetic cardiomyopathy, atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, and heart failure. As cardiovascular disease represents the number one cause of death in people with diabetes, there has been a major emphasis on understanding the mechanisms by which diabetes promotes cardiovascular disease, and how antidiabetic therapies impact diabetic heart disease. With a wide array of models to study diabetes (both type 1 and type 2), the field has made major progress in answering these questions. However, each model has its own inherent limitations. Therefore, the purpose of this guidelines document is to provide the field with information on which aspects of cardiovascular disease in the human diabetic population are most accurately reproduced by the available models. This review aims to emphasize the advantages and disadvantages of each model, and to highlight the practical challenges and technical considerations involved. We will review the preclinical animal models of diabetes (based on their method of induction), appraise models of diabetes-related atherosclerosis and heart failure, and discuss in vitro models of diabetic heart disease. These guidelines will allow researchers to select the appropriate model of diabetic heart disease, depending on the specific research question being addressed.

Abstract
A significant burden of atherosclerotic disease is driven by inflammation. Recently, microRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as important factors driving and protecting from atherosclerosis. miR-223 regulates cholesterol metabolism and inflammation via targeting both cholesterol biosynthesis pathway and NFkB signaling pathways; however, its role in atherosclerosis has not been investigated. We hypothesize that miR-223 globally regulates core inflammatory pathways in macrophages in response to inflammatory and atherogenic stimuli thus limiting the progression of atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Introduction:
The small intestine receives hormonal and neuronal stimuli to ensure sufficient nutrient absorption to fuel the body. Insulin resistance promotes aberrant dietary fat delivery into circulation, increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease. The mechanisms underlying the loss of controlled dietary fat delivery during metabolic disease are unclear. We aimed to characterize the metabolic pathways engaged in the small intestine in the transition from fasting to refeeding states in both male and female mice.
Methods:
Eight- to twelve-week-old male and female mice fasted for 24 hours. Half of the mice were euthanized in the fasted state, and the remaining half were euthanized after a 4-hour refeeding period (Teklad Global 19% Protein Extruded Diet). Gene expression and pathway analyses in jejunal samples were determined using Nanostring.
Results:
In male and female mice, refeeding significantly upregulated pathways in amino acid synthesis, mitochondrial respiration, and proto-oncogene Myc signalling compared to fasting. Refeeding significantly downregulated glycolysis, and both mitogen-activated MAPK and PI3K signalling pathways compared to fasting. Interestingly, in males refeeding significantly upregulated AMPK, mTOR, and autophagy, whereas conversely in female mice, refeeding downregulated these pathways. Surprisingly, fatty acid synthesis and fatty acid oxidation pathways were unchanged by the nutritional state in males, but in females, both pathways were significantly downregulated with refeeding compared to fasting. In female mice, refeeding significantly reduced small intestinal length compared to fasting, whereas intestinal length was unchanged in male mice.
Conclusions:
Metabolic pathways well-characterized in the liver are often mechanistically extrapolated to the gut. We have begun to uncover the jejunal gene expression changes regulated by nutrient availability in male and female mice. Identifying how high-fat feeding dysregulates these pathways will help further elucidate the mechanism underlying the over-production of intestinally-derived lipoproteins in metabolic disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Aberrant ketogenesis is correlated with the degree of steatosis in NAFLD patients, and an inborn error of ketogenesis (mitochondrial HMG-CoA synthase deficiency) is commonly associated with the development of the fatty liver. Here we aimed to determine the impact of Hmgcs2-mediated ketogenesis and its modulations on the development and treatment of fatty liver disease. METHODS Loss- and gain-of-ketogenic function through in vivo and in vitro models, achieved by Hmgcs2 knockout and overexpression, respectively, were examined to investigate the role of ketogenesis in the hepatic lipid accumulation during neonatal development and the diet-induced NAFLD mouse model. RESULTS Ketogenic function was decreased in NAFLD mice with a reduction in Hmgcs2 expression. Mice lacking Hmgcs2 developed spontaneous fatty liver phenotype during postnatal development, which was rescued by a shift to a low-fat dietary composition via early weaning. Hmgcs2 heterozygous mice, which exhibited reduced ketogenic activity, were more susceptible to diet-induced NAFLD development, whereas HMGCS2 overexpression in NAFLD mice improved hepatosteatosis and glucose homeostasis. CONCLUSIONS Our study adds new knowledge to the field of ketone body metabolism and shows that Hmgcs2-mediated ketogenesis modulates hepatic lipid regulation under a fat-enriched nutritional environment. The regulation of hepatic ketogenesis may be a viable therapeutic strategy in the prevention and treatment of hepatosteatosis.

Abstract
While critical for neurotransmitter synthesis, 14-3-3 proteins are often assumed to have redundant functions due to their ubiquitous expression, but despite this assumption, various 14-3-3 isoforms have been implicated in regulating metabolism. We previously reported contributions of 14-3-3ζ in β cell function, but these studies were performed in tumor-derived MIN6 cells and systemic KO mice. To further characterize the regulatory roles of 14-3-3ζ in β cell function, we generated β cell–specific 14-3-3ζ–KO mice. Although no effects on β cell mass were detected, potentiated glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS), mitochondrial function, and ATP synthesis were observed. Deletion of 14-3-3ζ also altered the β cell transcriptome, as genes associated with mitochondrial respiration and oxidative phosphorylation were upregulated. Acute 14-3-3 protein inhibition in mouse and human islets recapitulated the enhancements in GSIS and mitochondrial function, suggesting that 14-3-3ζ is the critical isoform in β cells. In dysfunctional db/db islets and human islets from type 2 diabetic donors, expression of Ywhaz/YWHAZ, the gene encoding 14-3-3ζ, was inversely associated with insulin secretion, and pan–14-3-3 protein inhibition led to enhanced GSIS and mitochondrial function. Taken together, this study demonstrates important regulatory functions of 14-3-3ζ in the regulation of β cell function and provides a deeper understanding of how insulin secretion is controlled in β cells.

Abstract
Ischemic heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, Canada, and worldwide. Severe disease is characterized by coronary artery occlusion, loss of blood flow to the myocardium, and necrosis of tissue, with subsequent remodeling of the heart wall, including fibrotic scarring. The current study aims to demonstrate the efficacy of quantitating infarct size via two-dimensional (2-D) echocardiographic akinetic length and four-dimensional (4-D) echocardiographic infarct volume and surface area as in vivo analysis techniques. We further describe and evaluate a new surface area strain analysis technique for estimating myocardial infarction (MI) size after ischemic injury. Experimental MI was induced in mice via left coronary artery ligation. Ejection fraction and infarct size were measured through 2-D and 4-D echocardiography. Infarct size established via histology was compared with ultrasound-based metrics via linear regression analysis. Two-dimensional echocardiographic akinetic length (r = 0.76, P = 0.03), 4-D echocardiographic infarct volume (r = 0.85, P = 0.008), and surface area (r = 0.90, P = 0.002) correlate well with histology. Although both 2-D and 4-D echocardiography were reliable measurement techniques to assess infarct, 4-D analysis is superior in assessing asymmetry of the left ventricle and the infarct. Strain analysis performed on 4-D data also provides additional infarct sizing techniques, which correlate with histology (surface strain: r = 0.94, P < 0.001, transmural thickness: r = 0.76, P = 0.001). Two-dimensional echocardiographic akinetic length, 4-D echocardiography ultrasound, and strain provide effective in vivo methods for measuring fibrotic scarring after MI.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Our study supports that both 2-D and 4-D echocardiographic analysis techniques are reliable in quantifying infarct size though 4-D ultrasound provides a more holistic image of LV function and structure, especially after myocardial infarction. Furthermore, 4-D strain analysis correctly identifies infarct size and regional LV dysfunction after MI. Therefore, these techniques can improve functional insight into the impact of pharmacological interventions on the pathophysiology of cardiac disease.

Abstract
As the worldwide prevalence of diabetes and obesity continues to rise, so does the risk of debilitating cardiovascular complications. Given the significant association between diabetes and cardiovascular risk, the actions of glucose-lowering therapies within the cardiovascular system must be clearly defined. Incretin hormones, including GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide 1) and GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide), are gut hormones secreted in response to nutrient intake that maintain glycemic control by regulating insulin and glucagon release. GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1Ras) and dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitors (DPP-4is) represent two drug classes used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) that improve glucose regulation through stimulating the actions of gut-derived incretin hormones or inhibiting their degradation, respectively. Despite both classes acting to potentiate the incretin response, the potential cardioprotective benefits afforded by GLP-1Ras have not been recapitulated in cardiovascular outcome trials (CVOTs) evaluating DPP-4is. This review provides insights through discussion of clinical and preclinical studies to illuminate the physiological mechanisms that may underlie and reconcile observations from GLP-1Ra and DPP-4i CVOTs. Furthermore, critical knowledge gaps and areas for further investigation will be emphasized to guide future studies and, ultimately, facilitate improved clinical management of cardiovascular disease in T2DM.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Nobiletin is a dietary flavonoid that improves insulin resistance and atherosclerosis in mice with metabolic dysfunction. Dysregulation of intestinal lipoprotein metabolism contributes to atherogenesis. The objective of the study was to determine if nobiletin targets the intestine to improve metabolic dysregulation in both male and female mice. Approach and Results: Triglyceride-rich lipoprotein (TRL) secretion, intracellular triglyceride kinetics, and intestinal morphology were determined in male and female LDL (low-density lipoprotein) receptor knockout (Ldlr-/-), and male wild-type mice fed a standard laboratory diet or high-fat, high-cholesterol (HFHC) diet ± nobiletin using an olive oil gavage, radiotracers, and electron microscopy. Nobiletin attenuated postprandial TRL levels in plasma and enhanced TRL clearance. Nobiletin reduced fasting jejunal triglyceride accumulation through accelerated TRL secretion and lower jejunal fatty acid synthesis with no impact on fatty acid oxidation. Fasting-refeeding experiments revealed that nobiletin led to higher levels of phosphorylated AKT (protein kinase B) and FoxO1 (forkhead box O1) and normal Srebf1c expression indicating increased insulin sensitivity. Intestinal length and weight were diminished by HFHC feeding and restored by nobiletin. Both fasting and postprandial plasma GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1; and likely GLP-2) were elevated in response to nobiletin. Treatment with a GLP-2 receptor antagonist, GLP-2(3-33), reduced villus length in HFHC-fed mice but did not impact TRL secretion in any diet group. In contrast to males, nobiletin did not improve postprandial lipid parameters in female mice. CONCLUSIONS Nobiletin opposed the effects of the HFHC diet by normalizing intestinal de novo lipogenesis through improved insulin sensitivity. Nobiletin prevents postprandial lipemia because the enhanced TRL clearance more than compensates for increased TRL secretion.

Abstract
The coronavirus-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has had significant impact on research directions and productivity in the past 2 years. Despite these challenges, since 2020, more than 2,500 peer-reviewed articles have been published on pancreatic islet biology. These include updates on the roles of isocitrate dehydrogenase, pyruvate kinase and incretin hormones in insulin secretion, as well as the discovery of inceptor and signalling by circulating RNAs. The year 2020 also brought advancements in in vivo and in vitro models, including a new transgenic mouse for assessing beta-cell proliferation, a “pancreas-on-a-chip” to study glucose-stimulated insulin secretion and successful genetic editing of primary human islet cells. Islet biologists evaluated the functionality of stem-cell–derived islet-like cells coated with semipermeable biomaterials to prevent autoimmune attack, revealing the importance of cell maturation after transplantation. Prompted by observations that COVID-19 symptoms can worsen for people with obesity or diabetes, researchers examined how islets are directly affected by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. Herein, we highlight novel functional insights, technologies and therapeutic approaches that emerged between March 2020 and July 2021, written for both scientific and lay audiences. We also include a response to these advancements from patient stakeholders, to help lend a broader perspective to developments and challenges in islet research.

Abstract
Enteroendocrine cells directly integrate signals of nutrient content within the gut lumen with distant hormonal responses and nutrient disposal via the production and secretion of peptides, including glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) and glucagon-like peptide 2 (GLP-2). Given their direct and indirect control of post-prandial nutrient uptake and demonstrated translational relevance for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, malabsorption and cardiometabolic disease, there is significant interest in the locally engaged circuits mediating these metabolic effects. Although several specific populations of cells in the intestine have been identified to express endocrine receptors, including intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) and αβ and γδ T-cells (Glp1r+) and smooth muscle cells (Glp2r+), the definitive cellular localization and co-expression, particularly in regards to the Gipr remain elusive. Here we review the current state of the literature and evaluate the identity of Glp1r, Glp2r, and Gipr expressing cells within preclinical and clinical models. Further elaboration of our understanding of the initiating G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) circuits engaged locally within the intestine and how they become altered with high-fat diet feeding can offer insight into the dysregulation observed in obesity and diabetes.

Abstract
AIMS Severe aortic valve stenosis (AS) is defined by an aortic valve area (AVA) <1 cm2 or an AVA indexed to body surface area (BSA) <0.6 cm/m2, despite little evidence supporting the latter approach and important intrinsic limitations of BSA indexation. We hypothesized that AVA indexed to height (H) might be more applicable to a wide range of populations and body morphologies and might provide a better predictive accuracy. METHODS AND RESULTS In 1298 patients with degenerative AS and preserved ejection fraction from three different countries and continents (derivation cohort), we aimed to establish an AVA/H threshold that would be equivalent to 1.0 cm2 for defining severe AS. In a distinct prospective validation cohort of 395 patients, we compared the predictive accuracy of AVA/BSA and AVA/H. Correlations between AVA and AVA/BSA or AVA/H were excellent (all R2 > 0.79) but greater with AVA/H. Regressions lines were markedly different in obese and non-obese patients with AVA/BSA (P < 0.0001) but almost identical with AVA/H (P = 0.16). AVA/BSA values that corresponded to an AVA of 1.0 cm2 were markedly different in obese and non-obese patients (0.48 and 0.59 cm2/m2) but not with AVA/H (0.61 cm2/m for both). Agreement for the diagnosis of severe AS (AVA < 1 cm2) was significantly higher with AVA/H than with AVA/BSA (P < 0.05). Similar results were observed across the three countries. An AVA/H cut-off value of 0.6 cm2/m [HR = 8.2(5.6-12.1)] provided the best predictive value for the occurrence of AS-related events [absolute AVA of 1 cm2: HR = 7.3(5.0-10.7); AVA/BSA of 0.6 cm2/m2 HR = 6.7(4.4-10.0)]. CONCLUSION In a large multinational/multiracial cohort, AVA/H was better correlated with AVA than AVA/BSA and a cut-off value of 0.6 cm2/m provided a better diagnostic and prognostic value than 0.6 cm2/m2. Our results suggest that severe AS should be defined as an AVA < 1 cm2 or an AVA/H < 0.6 cm2/m rather than a BSA-indexed value of 0.6 cm2/m2.

Abstract
Exploring new avenues to control daily fluctuations in glycemia has been a central theme for diabetes research since the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT). Carbohydrate restriction has re-emerged as a means to control type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), becoming increasingly popular and supported by national diabetes associations in Canada, Australia, the USA, and Europe. This approval comes from many positive outcomes on HbA1c in human studies; yet mechanisms underlying their success have not been fully elucidated. In this review, we discuss the preclinical and clinical studies investigating the role of carbohydrate restriction and physiological elevations in ketone bodies directly on pancreatic islet health, islet hormone secretion, and insulin sensitivity. Included studies have clearly outlined diet compositions, including a diet with 30% or less of calories from carbohydrates.

Abstract
The global prevalence of metabolic disorders, such as obesity, diabetes and fatty liver disease, is dramatically increasing. Both genetic and environmental factors are well-known contributors to the development of these diseases and therefore, the study of epigenetics can provide additional mechanistic insight. Dietary interventions, including caloric restriction, intermittent fasting or time-restricted feeding, have shown promising improvements in patients' overall metabolic profiles (i.e., reduced body weight, improved glucose homeostasis), and an increasing number of studies have associated these beneficial effects with epigenetic alterations. In this article, we review epigenetic changes involved in both metabolic diseases and dietary interventions in primary metabolic tissues (i.e., adipose, liver, and pancreas) in hopes of elucidating potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets for disease prevention and treatment.

Abstract
The dysregulation of myeloid-derived cell metabolism can drive atherosclerosis. AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) controls various aspects of macrophage dynamics and lipid homeostasis, which are important during atherogenesis. Using LysM-Cre to drive the deletion of both the α1 and α2 catalytic subunits (MacKO), we aimed to clarify the role of myeloid-specific AMPK signaling in male and female mice made acutely atherosclerotic by injection of AAV vector encoding a gain-of-function mutant PCSK9 (PCSK9-AAV) and WD feeding. After 6 weeks of WD feeding, mice received a daily injection of either the AMPK activator A-769662 or a vehicle control for an additional 6 weeks. Following this (12 weeks total), we assessed myeloid cell populations and differences between genotype or sex were not observed. Similarly, aortic sinus plaque size, lipid staining, and necrotic area did not differ in male and female MacKO mice compared with their littermate floxed controls. Moreover, therapeutic intervention with A-769662 showed no treatment effect. There were also no observable differences in the amount of circulating total cholesterol or triglyceride, and only minor differences in the levels of inflammatory cytokines between groups. Finally, CD68+ area and markers of autophagy showed no effect of either lacking AMPK signaling or AMPK activation. Our data suggest that while defined roles for each catalytic AMPK subunit have been identified, complete deletion of myeloid AMPK signaling does not significantly impact atherosclerosis. Additionally, these findings suggest that intervention with the first-generation AMPK activator A-769662 is not able to stem the progression of atherosclerosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) conveys information from ingested nutrients to peripheral tissues, signaling energy availability. The GIP Receptor (GIPR) is also expressed in the bone marrow, notably in cells of the myeloid lineage. However, the importance of gain and loss of GIPR signaling for diverse hematopoietic responses remains unclear. METHODS We assessed the expression of the Gipr in bone marrow (BM) lineages and examined functional roles for the GIPR in control of hematopoiesis. Bone marrow responses were studied in (i) mice fed regular or energy-rich diets, (ii) mice treated with hematopoietic stressors including acute 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), pamsaccharide (LPS), and Pam3CysSerLys4 (Pam3CSK4), with or without pharmacological administration of a GIPR agonist, and (iii) mice with global (Gipr-/-) or selective deletion of the GIPR (GiprTie2-/-) with and without bone marrow transplantation (BMT). RESULTS Gipr is expressed within T cells, myeloid cells, and myeloid precursors; however, these cell populations were not different in peripheral blood, spleen, or BM of Gipr-/- and GiprTie2-/- mice. Nevertheless, gain and loss of function studies revealed that GIPR signaling controls the expression of BM Toll-like receptor (TLR) and Notch-related genes regulating hematopoiesis. Loss of the BM GIPR attenuates the extent of adipose tissue inflammation and dysregulates the hematopoietic response to BMT. GIPR agonism modified BM gene expression profiles following 5-FU and Pam3CSK4 whereas loss of the Gipr altered the hematopoietic responses to energy excess, two TLR ligands, and 5-FU. However, the magnitude of the cellular changes in hematopoiesis in response to gain or loss of GIPR signaling was relatively modest. CONCLUSION These studies identify a functional gut hormone-BM axis positioned for the transduction of signals linking nutrient availability to the control of TLR and Notch genes regulating hematopoiesis. Nevertheless, stimulation or loss of GIPR signaling has minimal impact on basal hematopoiesis or the physiological response to hematopoietic stress.

Abstract
Postprandial triglycerides (TGs) are elevated in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Glucose-lowering agents, such as glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors, also reduce postprandial TG excursion. Although the glucose-lowering mechanisms of DPP-4 have been extensively studied, how the reduction of DPP-4 activity improves lipid tolerance remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate that gut-selective and systemic inhibition of DPP-4 activity reduces postprandial TG excursion in young mice. Genetic inactivation of Dpp4 simultaneously within endothelial cells and hematopoietic cells using Tie2-Cre reduced intestinal lipoprotein secretion under regular chow diet conditions. Bone marrow transplantation revealed a key role for hematopoietic cells in modulation of lipid responses arising from genetic reduction of DPP-4 activity. Unexpectedly, deletion of Dpp4 in enterocytes increased TG excursion in high-fat diet–fed (HFD-fed) mice. Moreover, chemical reduction of DPP-4 activity and increased levels of GLP-1 were uncoupled from TG excursion in older or HFD-fed mice, yet lipid tolerance remained improved in older Dpp4–/– and Dpp4EC–/– mice. Taken together, this study defines roles for specific DPP-4 compartments, age, and diet as modifiers of DPP-4 activity linked to control of gut lipid metabolism. Gut-selective and systemic inhibition of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 activity reveals roles in gut lipid metabolism.

Abstract
Perturbations in carbohydrate, lipid, and protein metabolism contribute to obesity-induced type 2 diabetes (T2D), though whether alterations in ketone body metabolism influence T2D pathology is unknown. We report here that activity of the rate-limiting enzyme for ketone body oxidation, succinyl-CoA:3-ketoacid-CoA transferase (SCOT/Oxct1), is increased in muscles of obese mice. We also found that the diphenylbutylpiperidine pimozide, which is approved to suppress tics in individuals with Tourette syndrome, is a SCOT antagonist. Pimozide treatment reversed obesity-induced hyperglycemia in mice, which was phenocopied in mice with muscle-specific Oxct1/SCOT deficiency. These actions were dependent on pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH/Pdha1) activity, the rate-limiting enzyme of glucose oxidation, as pimozide failed to alleviate hyperglycemia in obese mice with a muscle-specific Pdha1/PDH deficiency. This work defines a fundamental contribution of enhanced ketone body oxidation to the pathology of obesity-induced T2D, while suggesting pharmacological SCOT inhibition as a new class of anti-diabetes therapy.

Abstract
Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4) is a serine protease that rapidly inactivates the incretin peptides, glucagon-like peptide-1, and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide to modulate postprandial islet hormone secretion and glycemia. Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 also has nonglycemic effects by controlling the progression of inflammation, which may be mediated more through direct protein-protein interactions than catalytic activity in the context of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), obesity, and type 2 diabetes (T2D). Failure to resolve inflammation resulting in chronic subclinical activation of the immune system may influence the development of metabolic dysregulation. Thus, through both its cleavage and regulation of the bioactivity of peptide hormones and its influence on inflammation, DPP4 exhibits a diverse array of effects that can influence the progression of metabolic disease. Here, we highlight our current understanding of the complex biology of DPP4 at the intersection of inflammation, obesity, T2D, and NAFLD. We compare and review new mechanisms identified in basic laboratory and clinical studies, which may have therapeutic application and relevance to the pathogenesis of obesity and T2D.

Abstract
Exercise and physical activity levels influence myokine release from skeletal muscle and contribute to circulating concentrations. Indeed, many myokines, including interleukin (IL)-6, IL-15, secreted protein acidic rich in cysteine (SPARC), and fibroblast growth factor (FGF) 21 are higher in the circulation after an exercise bout. Since these peptides modulate muscle metabolism and can also be targeted toward other tissues to induce adaptations to energy demand, they are of great interest regarding metabolic diseases. Therefore, we set out to compare, in six women with obesity (BMI ≥30 kg/m2) and five healthy women (BMI 22–29.9 kg/m2), the effect of an acute bout of moderate-intensity, continuous cycling exercise (60 min, 60% VO2peak) on the release of myokines (IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-13, IL-15, SPARC, and FGF21) in plasma for a 24-h time course. We found that plasma IL-8 and SPARC levels were reduced in the group of women with obesity, whereas plasma IL-13 concentrations were elevated in comparison to non-obese women both before and after the exercise bout. We also found that plasma FGF21 concentration during the 24 h following the bout of exercise was regulated differently in the non-obese in comparison to obese women. Plasma concentrations of FGF21, IL-6, IL-8, IL-15, and IL-18 were regulated by acute exercise. Our results confirm the results of others concerning exercise regulation of circulating myokines while providing insight into the time course of myokine release in circulation after an acute exercise bout and the differences in circulating myokines after exercise in women with or without obesity.

Abstract
NEW FINDINGS What is the central question of the study? Does the action of l-citrulline, which has been shown to augment performance in animals and athletes, possibly via increasing mitochondrial function, translate to obese animals, and does this improve glycaemia? What is the main finding and its importance? Chronic supplementation with l-citrulline improves not only exercise capacity, but also glycaemia in obese mice, which would be beneficial as obese individuals are at increased risk for type 2 diabetes. However, l-citrulline supplementation also caused a mild impairment in insulin signalling and insulin tolerance in obese mice. ABSTRACT: l-Citrulline is an organic α-amino acid that has been shown to have a number of salutary actions on whole-body physiology, including reducing muscle wasting and augmenting exercise and muscle performance. The latter has been suggested to arise from elevations in mitochondrial function. Because enhancing mitochondrial function has been proposed as a novel strategy to mitigate insulin resistance, our goal was to determine whether supplementation with l-citrulline could also improve glycaemia in an experimental mouse model of obesity. We hypothesized that l-citrulline treatment would improve glycaemia in obese mice, and this would be associated with elevations in skeletal muscle mitochondrial function. Ten-week-old C57BL/6J mice were fed either a low-fat (10% kcal from lard) or a high-fat (60% kcal from lard) diet, while receiving drinking water supplemented with either vehicle or l-citrulline (0.6 g l-1 ) for 15 weeks. Glucose homeostasis was assessed via glucose/insulin tolerance testing, while in vivo metabolism was assessed via indirect calorimetry, and forced exercise treadmill testing was utilized to assess endurance. As expected, obese mice supplemented with l-citrulline exhibited an increase in exercise capacity, which was associated with an improvement in glucose tolerance. Consistent with augmented mitochondrial function, we observed an increase in whole body oxygen consumption rates in obese mice supplemented with l-citrulline. Surprisingly, l-citrulline supplementation worsened insulin tolerance and reduced insulin signalling in obese mice. Taken together, although l-citrulline supplementation improves both glucose tolerance and exercise capacity in obese mice, caution must be applied with its broad use as a nutraceutical due to a potential deterioration of insulin sensitivity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) is secreted from the gut in response to nutrient ingestion and promotes meal-dependent insulin secretion and lipid metabolism. Loss or attenuation of GIP receptor (GIPR) action leads to resistance to diet-induced obesity through incompletely understood mechanisms. The GIPR is expressed in white adipose tissue; however, its putative role in brown adipose tissue (BAT) has not been explored. METHODS We investigated the role of the GIPR in BAT cells in vitro and in BAT-specific (GiprBAT-/-) knockout mice with selective elimination of the Gipr within the Myf5+ expression domain. We analyzed body weight, adiposity, glucose homeostasis, insulin and lipid tolerance, energy expenditure, food intake, body temperature, and iBAT oxygen consumption ex vivo. High-fat diet (HFD)-fed GiprBAT-/- mice were studied at room temperature (21 °C), 4 °C, and 30 °C ambient temperatures. RESULTS The mouse Gipr gene is expressed in BAT, and GIP directly increased Il6 mRNA and IL-6 secretion in BAT cells. Additionally, levels of thermogenic, lipid and inflammation mRNA transcripts were altered in BAT cells transfected with Gipr siRNA. Body weight gain, energy expenditure, and glucose and insulin tolerance were normal in HFD-fed GiprBAT-/- mice housed at room temperature. However, GiprBAT-/- mice exhibited higher body temperatures during an acute cold challenge and a lower respiratory exchange ratio and impaired lipid tolerance at 21 °C. In contrast, body weight was lower and iBAT oxygen consumption was higher in HFD-fed mice housed at 4 °C but not at 30 °C. CONCLUSIONS The BAT GIPR is linked to the control of metabolic gene expression, fuel utilization, and oxygen consumption. However, the selective loss of the GIPR within BAT is insufficient to recapitulate the findings of decreased weight gain and resistance to obesity arising in experimental models with systemic disruption of GIP action.

Abstract
Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) controls glucose homeostasis through enzymatic termination of incretin action. We report that plasma DPP-4 activity correlates with body weight and fat mass, but not glucose control, in mice. Genetic disruption of adipocyte Dpp4 expression reduced plasma DPP-4 activity in older mice but did not perturb incretin levels or glucose homeostasis. Knockdown of hepatocyte Dpp4 completely abrogated the obesity-associated increase in plasma DPP-4 activity, reduced liver cytokine expression, and partially attenuated inflammation in adipose tissue without changes in incretin levels or glucose homeostasis. In contrast, circulating levels of soluble DPP4 (sDPP4) were dissociated from inflammation in mice with endothelial-selective or global genetic inactivation of Dpp4. Remarkably, inhibition of DPP-4 enzymatic activity upregulated circulating levels of sDPP4 originating from endothelial or hematopoietic cells without inducing systemic or localized inflammation. Collectively, these findings reveal unexpected complexity in regulation of soluble versus enzymatic DPP-4 and control of inflammation and glucose homeostasis.

Abstract
Objective Administration of glucagon (GCG) or GCG-containing co-agonists reduces body weight and increases energy expenditure. These actions appear to be transduced by multiple direct and indirect GCG receptor (GCGR)-dependent mechanisms. Although the canonical GCGR is expressed in brown adipose tissue (BAT) the importance of BAT GCGR activity for the physiological control of body weight, or the response to GCG agonism, has not been defined. Methods We studied the mechanisms linking GCG action to acute increases in oxygen consumption using wildtype (WT), Ucp1−/− and Fgf21−/− mice. The importance of basal GCGR expression within the Myf5+ domain for control of body weight, adiposity, glucose and lipid metabolism, food intake, and energy expenditure was examined in GcgrBAT−/− mice housed at room temperature or 4 °C, fed a regular chow diet (RCD) or after a prolonged exposure to high fat diet (HFD). Results Acute GCG administration induced lipolysis and increased the expression of thermogenic genes in BAT cells, whereas knockdown of Gcgr reduced expression of genes related to thermogenesis. GCG increased energy expenditure (measured by oxygen consumption) both in vivo in WT mice and ex vivo in BAT and liver explants. GCG also increased acute energy expenditure in Ucp1−/− mice, but these actions were partially blunted in Ffg21−/− mice. However, acute GCG administration also robustly increased oxygen consumption in GcgrBAT−/− mice. Moreover, body weight, glycemia, lipid metabolism, body temperature, food intake, activity, energy expenditure and adipose tissue gene expression profiles were normal in GcgrBAT−/− mice, either on RCD or HFD, whether studied at room temperature, or chronically housed at 4 °C. Conclusions Exogenous GCG increases oxygen consumption in mice, also evident both in liver and BAT explants ex vivo, through UCP1-independent, FGF21-dependent pathways. Nevertheless, GCGR signaling within BAT is not physiologically essential for control of body weight, whole body energy expenditure, glucose homeostasis, or the adaptive metabolic response to cold or prolonged exposure to an energy dense diet. A functional glucagon receptor is expressed in brown adipose tissue and BAT cells. Glucagon increases energy expenditure in mice, as well as in liver and BAT. Glucagon increases whole body energy expenditure through FGF21-dependent and BAT glucagon receptor-independent pathways. Loss of the BAT glucagon receptor does not impair glucose or energy homeostasis in mice.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The intestine is highly efficient at absorbing and packaging dietary lipids onto the structural protein apoB48 for distribution throughout the body. Here, we summarize recent advances into understanding the physiological and pharmacological actions of the proglucagon-derived peptides: glucagon like peptide 1 (GLP-1) and glucagon like peptide 2 (GLP-2) on intestinal lipoprotein secretion. RECENT FINDINGS Several recent studies have elucidated mechanisms underlying the paradoxical effects of GLP-1 and GLP-2 on intestinal production of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TRLs). Both gut-derived peptides are secreted on an equimolar basis in response to the same nutrient stimulus. Despite neither receptor demonstrating clear localization to enterocytes, a single injection of a GLP-1R agonist rapidly decreases delivery of intestinally packaged fatty acids into the plasma, while conversely GLP-2 receptor (GLP-2R) activation acutely increases TRL concentrations in plasma. SUMMARY The regulation of TRL secretion is dependent on the coordination of many processes: fatty acid availability uptake, assembly onto the apoB48 polypeptide backbone, secretion and reuptake, which the hormonal, neural, inflammatory and metabolic milieu can all strongly influence. Understanding of how GLP-1 and GLP-2 receptor agonists control TRL production has clinical importance given that GLP1R agonists were recently demonstrated not only to provide glycemic control but also to prevent major adverse cardiovascular events in patients with T2DM and the success of GLP-2R agonists in treating short bowel disease.

Abstract
Glucagonlike peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists, which are used to treat type 2 diabetes and obesity, reduce the rates of myocardial infarction and cardiovascular death. GLP-1R has been localized to the human sinoatrial node; however, its expression in ventricular tissue remains uncertain. Here we studied GLP-1R expression in the human heart using GLP-1R-directed antisera, quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR), reverse transcription PCR to detect full-length messenger RNA (mRNA) transcripts, and in situ hybridization (ISH). GLP1R mRNA transcripts, encompassing the entire open reading frame, were detected in all four cardiac chambers from 15 hearts at levels approximating those detected in human pancreas. In contrast, cardiac GLP2R expression was relatively lower, and cardiac GCGR expression was sporadic and not detected in the left ventricle. GLP1R mRNA transcripts were not detected in RNA from human cardiac fibroblasts, coronary artery endothelial, or vascular smooth muscle cells. Human Brunner glands and pancreatic islets exhibited GLP-1R immunopositivity and abundant expression of GLP1R mRNA transcripts by ISH. GLP1R transcripts were also detected by ISH in human cardiac sinoatrial node tissue. However, definitive cellular localization of GLP1R mRNA transcripts or immunoreactive GLP-1R protein within human cardiomyocytes or cardiac blood vessels remained elusive. Moreover, validated GLP-1R antisera lacked sufficient sensitivity to detect expression of the endogenous islet or cardiac GLP-1R by Western blotting. Hence, although human cardiac ventricles express the GLP1R, the identity of one or more ventricular cell type(s) that express a translated GLP1R protein requires further clarification with highly sensitive methods of detection.

Abstract
Incretin hormones exert pleiotropic metabolic actions beyond the pancreas. Although the heart expresses both incretin receptors, the cardiac biology of GIP receptor (GIPR) action remains incompletely understood. Here we show that GIPR agonism did not impair the response to cardiac ischemia. In contrast, genetic elimination of the Gipr reduced myocardial infarction (MI)-induced ventricular injury and enhanced survival associated with reduced hormone sensitive lipase (HSL) phosphorylation; it also increased myocardial triacylglycerol (TAG) stores. Conversely, direct GIPR agonism in the isolated heart reduced myocardial TAG stores and increased fatty acid oxidation. The cardioprotective phenotype in Gipr-/- mice was partially reversed by pharmacological activation or genetic overexpression of HSL. Selective Gipr inactivation in cardiomyocytes phenocopied Gipr-/- mice, resulting in improved survival and reduced adverse remodeling following experimental MI. Hence, the cardiomyocyte GIPR regulates fatty acid metabolism and the adaptive response to ischemic cardiac injury. These findings have translational relevance for developing GIPR-based therapeutics.

Abstract
Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) is a widely expressed, serine protease which regulates the bioactivity of many peptides through cleavage and inactivation including the incretin hormones, glucagon like peptide -1 (GLP-1) and glucose dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP). Inhibitors of DPP4 are used therapeutically to treat patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) as they potentiate incretin action to regulate islet hormone secretion and improve glycemia and post-prandial lipid excursions. The widespread clinical use of DPP4 inhibitors has increased interest in the molecular mechanisms by which these drugs mediate their beneficial effects. Traditionally, focus has remained on inhibiting the catalytic activity of DPP4 within the plasma compartment, however evidence is emerging on the importance of inactivation of membrane-bound DPP4 in selective tissue beds to potentiate local hormone gradients. Here we review the recent advances in identifying the cellular sources of both circulating and membrane-bound DPP4 important for cleavage of the incretin hormones and regulation of glucose and lipoprotein metabolism.

Abstract
Objectives Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is secreted from enteroendocrine cells and exerts a broad number of metabolic actions through activation of a single GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R). The cardiovascular actions of GLP-1 have garnered increasing attention as GLP-1R agonists are used to treat human subjects with diabetes and obesity that may be at increased risk for development of heart disease. Here we studied mechanisms linking GLP-1R activation to control of heart rate (HR) in mice. Methods The actions of GLP-1R agonists were examined on the control of HR in wild type mice (WT) and in mice with cardiomyocyte-selective disruption of the GLP-1R (Glp1rCM−/−). Complimentary studies examined the effects of GLP-1R agonists in mice co-administered propranolol or atropine. The direct effects of GLP-1R agonism on HR and ventricular developed pressure were examined in isolated perfused mouse hearts ex vivo, and atrial depolarization was quantified in mouse hearts following direct application of liraglutide to perfused atrial preparations ex vivo. Results Doses of liraglutide and lixisenatide that were equipotent for acute glucose control rapidly increased HR in WT and Glp1rCM−/− mice in vivo. The actions of liraglutide to increase HR were more sustained relative to lixisenatide, and diminished in Glp1rCM−/− mice. The acute chronotropic actions of GLP-1R agonists were attenuated by propranolol but not atropine. Neither native GLP-1 nor lixisenatide increased HR or developed pressure in perfused hearts ex vivo. Moreover, liraglutide had no direct effect on sinoatrial node firing rate in mouse atrial preparations ex vivo. Despite co-localization of HCN4 and GLP-1R in primate hearts, HCN4-directed Cre expression did not attenuate levels of Glp1r mRNA transcripts, but did reduce atrial Gcgr expression in the mouse heart. Conclusions GLP-1R agonists increase HR through multiple mechanisms, including regulation of autonomic nervous system function, and activation of the atrial GLP-1R. Surprisingly, the isolated atrial GLP-1R does not transduce a direct chronotropic effect following exposure to GLP-1R agonists in the intact heart, or isolated atrium, ex vivo. Hence, cardiac GLP-1R circuits controlling HR require neural inputs and do not function in a heart-autonomous manner. GLP-1 controls heart rate (HR) through the autonomic nervous system and the cardiac GLP-1R in mice. The acute induction of HR by GLP-1R agonists is sensitive to propranolol. GLP-1R agonists do not directly increase HR in isolated perfused mouse hearts ex vivo. The GLP-1R agonist liraglutide does not directly enhance sinoatrial activity ex vivo. GLP-1 does not increase heart rate in a heart autonomous manner.

Abstract
Pharmacological inhibition of the dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4) enzyme potentiates incretin action and is widely used to treat type 2 diabetes. Nevertheless, the precise cells and tissues critical for incretin degradation and glucose homeostasis remain unknown. Here, we use mouse genetics and pharmacologic DPP4 inhibition to identify DPP4+ cell types essential for incretin action. Although enterocyte DPP4 accounted for substantial intestinal DPP4 activity, ablation of enterocyte DPP4 in Dpp4Gut-/- mice did not produce alterations in plasma DPP4 activity, incretin hormone levels, and glucose tolerance. In contrast, endothelial cell (EC)-derived DPP4 contributed substantially to levels of soluble plasma DPP4 activity, incretin degradation, and glucose control. Surprisingly, DPP4+ cells of bone marrow origin mediated the selective degradation of fasting GIP, but not GLP-1. Collectively, these findings identify distinct roles for DPP4 in the EC versus the bone marrow compartment for selective incretin degradation and DPP4i-mediated glucoregulation.

Abstract
Citrus flavonoids are polyphenolic compounds with significant biological properties. This review summarizes recent advances in understanding the ability of citrus flavonoids to modulate lipid metabolism, other metabolic parameters related to the metabolic syndrome, and atherosclerosis. Citrus flavonoids, including naringenin, hesperitin, nobiletin, and tangeretin, have emerged as potential therapeutics for the treatment of metabolic dysregulation. Epidemiological studies reveal an association between the intake of citrus flavonoid-containing foods and a decreased incidence of cardiovascular disease. Studies in cell culture and animal models, as well as a limited number of clinical studies, reveal the lipid-lowering, insulin-sensitizing, antihypertensive, and anti-inflammatory properties of citrus flavonoids. In animal models, supplementation of rodent diets with citrus flavonoids prevents hepatic steatosis, dyslipidemia, and insulin resistance primarily through inhibition of hepatic fatty acid synthesis and increased fatty acid oxidation. Citrus flavonoids blunt the inflammatory response in metabolically important tissues including liver, adipose, kidney, and the aorta. The mechanisms underlying flavonoid-induced metabolic regulation have not been completely established, although several potential targets have been identified. In mouse models, citrus flavonoids show marked suppression of atherogenesis through improved metabolic parameters as well as through direct impact on the vessel wall. Recent studies support a role for citrus flavonoids in the treatment of dyslipidemia, insulin resistance, hepatic steatosis, obesity, and atherosclerosis. Larger human studies examining dose, bioavailability, efficacy, and safety are required to promote the development of these promising therapeutic agents.

Abstract
Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4) inhibitors used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes are cardioprotective in preclinical studies; however, some cardiovascular outcome studies revealed increased hospitalization rates for heart failure (HF) among a subset of DPP4 inhibitor-treated subjects with diabetes. We evaluated cardiovascular function in young euglycemic Dpp4(-/-) mice and in older, high fat-fed, diabetic C57BL/6J mice treated with either the glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonist liraglutide or the highly selective DPP4 inhibitor MK-0626. We assessed glucose metabolism, ventricular function and remodeling, and cardiac gene expression profiles linked to inflammation and fibrosis after transverse aortic constriction (TAC) surgery, a pressure-volume overload model of HF. Young euglycemic Dpp4(-/-) mice exhibited a cardioprotective response after TAC surgery or doxorubicin administration, with reduced fibrosis; however, cardiac mRNA analysis revealed increased expression of inflammation-related transcripts. Older, diabetic, high fat-fed mice treated with the GLP-1R agonist liraglutide exhibited preservation of cardiac function. In contrast, diabetic mice treated with MK-0626 exhibited modest cardiac hypertrophy, impairment of cardiac function, and dysregulated expression of genes and proteins controlling inflammation and cardiac fibrosis. These findings provide a model for the analysis of mechanisms linking fibrosis, inflammation, and impaired ventricular function to DPP4 inhibition in preclinical studies.

Abstract
The molecular mechanisms and metabolic pathways whereby the citrus flavonoid, naringenin, reduces dyslipidemia and improves glucose tolerance were investigated in C57BL6/J wild-type mice and fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) null (Fgf21(-/-)) mice. FGF21 regulates energy homeostasis and the metabolic adaptation to fasting. One avenue of this regulation is through induction of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator-1α (Pgc1a), a regulator of hepatic fatty acid oxidation and ketogenesis. Because naringenin is a potent activator of hepatic FA oxidation, we hypothesized that induction of FGF21 might be an integral part of naringenin's mechanism of action. Furthermore, we predicted that FGF21 deficiency would potentiate high-fat diet (HFD)-induced metabolic dysregulation and compromise metabolic protection by naringenin. The absence of FGF21 exacerbated the response to a HFD. Interestingly, naringenin supplementation to the HFD robustly prevented obesity in both genotypes. Gene expression analysis suggested that naringenin was not primarily targeting fatty acid metabolism in white adipose tissue. Naringenin corrected hepatic triglyceride concentrations and normalized hepatic expression of Pgc1a, Cpt1a, and Srebf1c in both wild-type and Fgf21(-/-) mice. HFD-fed Fgf21(-/-) mice displayed greater muscle triglyceride deposition, hyperinsulinemia, and impaired glucose tolerance as compared with wild-type mice, confirming the role of FGF21 in insulin sensitivity; however, naringenin supplementation improved these metabolic parameters in both genotypes. We conclude that FGF21 deficiency exacerbates HFD-induced obesity, hepatic steatosis, and insulin resistance. Furthermore, FGF21 is not required for naringenin to protect mice from HFD-induced metabolic dysregulation. Collectively these studies support the concept that naringenin has potent lipid-lowering effects and may act as an insulin sensitizer in vivo.

Abstract
Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4) is a widely expressed enzyme transducing actions through an anchored transmembrane molecule and a soluble circulating protein. Both membrane-associated and soluble DPP4 exert catalytic activity, cleaving proteins containing a position 2 alanine or proline. DPP4-mediated enzymatic cleavage alternatively inactivates peptides or generates new bioactive moieties that may exert competing or novel activities. The widespread use of selective DPP4 inhibitors for the treatment of type 2 diabetes has heightened interest in the molecular mechanisms through which DPP4 inhibitors exert their pleiotropic actions. Here we review the biology of DPP4 with a focus on: 1) identification of pharmacological vs physiological DPP4 substrates; and 2) elucidation of mechanisms of actions of DPP4 in studies employing genetic elimination or chemical reduction of DPP4 activity. We review data identifying the roles of key DPP4 substrates in transducing the glucoregulatory, anti-inflammatory, and cardiometabolic actions of DPP4 inhibitors in both preclinical and clinical studies. Finally, we highlight experimental pitfalls and technical challenges encountered in studies designed to understand the mechanisms of action and downstream targets activated by inhibition of DPP4.

Abstract
GLP-1R agonists improve outcomes in ischemic heart disease. Here we studied GLP-1R-dependent adaptive and cardioprotective responses to ventricular injury. Glp1r−/− hearts exhibited chamber-specific differences in gene expression, but normal mortality and left ventricular (LV) remodeling after myocardial infarction (MI) or experimental doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy. Selective disruption of the cardiomyocyte GLP-1R in Glp1rCM−/− mice produced no differences in survival or LV remodeling following LAD coronary artery occlusion. Unexpectedly, the GLP-1R agonist liraglutide still produced robust cardioprotection and increased survival in Glp1rCM−/− mice following LAD coronary artery occlusion. Although liraglutide increased heart rate (HR) in Glp1rCM−/− mice, basal HR was significantly lower in Glp1rCM−/− mice. Hence, endogenous cardiomyocyte GLP-1R activity is not required for adaptive responses to ischemic or cardiomyopathic injury, and is dispensable for GLP-1R agonist-induced cardioprotection or enhanced chronotropic activity. However the cardiomyocyte GLP-1R is essential for the control of HR in mice.
