The anti-lipemic effects of portal and nodose ganglia GLP-1R activation are abrogated in a novel GLP-1R KO hamster model.A-H: GLP-1R KO hamsters or WT littermate controls were fasted for 16 h then received portal vein injections of either GLP-1(7-36) (10 μg/kg) or vehicle (PBS). I-P: Alternatively, GLP-1R KO hamsters or WT littermate controls received bilateral nodose ganglia injections of GLP-1(7-36) (1ug in 1 μl PBS) or Vehicle (1 μl PBS). After treatment all hamsters were fat loaded with an oral gavage of olive oil (200 μl) and then given an IP injection of Pluronic F-127 (2 g/kg). Blood was then drawn over a 6 h period via retro-orbital bleeds.
