摘要

Exendin-4 (Ex-4) is a natural agonist of the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor, currently being used as a treatment for type 2 diabetes mellitus due to its insulinotropic properties. Previous studies have revealed that acute administration of both GLP-1 and, in particular, Ex-4 potently stimulates hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis activity. In this work, the effects of prolonged Ex-4 exposure on HPA function were explored. To this end, Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to a daily regimen of two Ex-4 injections (5 μg/kg sc) for a minimum of 7 days. We found that subchronic Ex-4 administration produced a number of effects that resemble chronic stress situations, including hyperactivation of the HPA axis during the trough hours, disruption of glucocorticoid circadian secretion, hypertrophy of the adrenal gland, decreased adrenal gland sensitivity, impaired pituitaryadrenal stress responses, and reductions in both food intake and body weight. In addition, a threefold increase in diuresis was observed followed by a 1.5-fold increase in water intake; these latter effects were abolished by adrenalectomy. Together, these findings indicate that Ex-4 induces a profound dysregulation of HPA axis activity that may also affect renal function.
