We previously reported that afferent signals of the rat hepatic vagus increased upon
intraportal appearance of insulinotropic hormone glucagon-like peptide-1 (7-36) amide
(GLP-1), but not glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP). To obtain molecular
evidence for the vagal chemoreception of GLP-1, the concept derived from those
electrophysiological observations, receptor gene expressions of GLP-1 and GIP in the rat
nodose ganglion were examined by means of reverse transcriptase-mediated polymerase …
