A Pilot Study Showing Acute Inhibitory Effect of GLP-1 on the Bone Resorption Marker CTX in Humans.


ABSTRACT: Bones have been suggested to be a target for glucagon-like peptide -1 (GLP-1); however, studies of the effects on human bones so far have given diverging results. We hypothesized that GLP-1, together with glucagon-like peptide-2 and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide, plays a role in the gut-bone axis. We examined the acute effect of three GLP-1 receptor ligands [GLP-1 (7-36)amide, GLP-1 (9-36)amide, and exenatide] on markers of bone remodeling. Eight healthy, normal-weight participants, with a mean age of 24.3 years, were studied for 4 days in a double-blinded, randomized clinical trial. Blood was collected before and after s.c. injection of GLP-1 (7-36)amide (1.5 nmol/kg), GLP-1 (9-36)amide (1.5 nmol/kg), exenatide (2.4 nmol/subject), or saline. Plasma was analyzed for bone markers and for osteoprotegerin (OPG), PTH, and IGF-1 levels. All ligands were tested in vitro for their cAMP-inducing activity on the human GLP-1 receptor. GLP-1 (7-36)amide decreased CTX-levels, compared with placebo (area under the curve [AUC] ±SD 0 to 120 min = -2143 ± 1294?% × min versus -883 ± 1557?% × min; p < 0.05). No difference was observed between placebo and GLP-1 (9-36)amide, or between placebo and exenatide, although exenatide had a similar potency as GLP-1 (7-36)amide for cAMP formation in vitro (EC50 of 0.093 and 0.054 nmol/L). However, exenatide reached maximum plasma concentration at 90 min versus 15 min for GLP-1 (7-36)amide, and plasma CTX was significantly decreased during the second hour of the study after exenatide injections compared with placebo (AUC ±SD -463.1 ± 218?% × min and -136 ± 91?% × min; p < 0.05). There was no effect of the injections on bone formation markers (P1NP and osteocalcin) or on OPG, PTH and IGF-1 levels. In conclusion, we show that GLP-1 receptor agonists, but not the primary metabolite GLP-1 (9-36)amide, decrease bone resorption, and suggest that GLP-1 may be part of the gut-bone axis. © 2019 The Authors.
