It is considerably less effective than GLP-1 medications and causes unpleasant fatty stool side effects
Even though the human body usually produces glutamine, the need for glutamine at the time of physical or emotional stress, illness, intense physical exercise, or trauma is high
Using GLP-2R WT and KO mice, we demonstrated that McBs protective effects were entirely abolished in GLP-2R KO mice, and completely independent of hormone secretion, underscoring the necessity of intact GLP-2R signaling for McB-mediated intestinal resilience
Production of metabolites from amino acids, however, could play an important role in GLP-1 secretion from the colon, as the microbiota can ferment nutrients reaching the distal intestine (mostly colon) and produce metabolites, which may stimulate GLP-1 and PYY secretion [36,37,38]
