• Diabetes prevalence is ≥11% • Includes 644 counties in 15 mostly
southern states

What are Incretin Hormones?
• Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1 is a major
incretins in humans • Both are peptide hormones (30 and 42 amino
acids)
• Secreted from cells small intestinal mucosa • Released in
response to meal ingestion • Responsible for the incretin
effect
GLP-1 positive endocrine L-cells in human small intestine
Proteins from the gut that increase insulin secretion

• Based on human GLP-1 (7-37) • 97% homologous with GLP-1 •
Resistant to DPP-4 • Full agonist at the GLP-1 receptor
• Non-covalent binding to albumin, self- association, slow release
from injection site gives prolonged survival time
– t½ 12 hr after sc injection
• From saliva of the Gila Monster • 53% homologous with GLP-1 •
Insensitive to DPP-4 • Full agonist at the GLP-1 receptor •

The Microbiome represents over 9 million different genes compared
to our paltry 20,000
The Human Microbiome Population of more than 100 trillion
microorganisms that live in our gut, mouth,
skin and elsewhere in our bodies
Thousands of different species
on the skin alone
There are millions of microbes per square inch on your body
It is estimated that there are more microbes in your intestine than
there are human cells in your body!
Gut Microbiome
Gut Microbiome Effects noted throughout the Body
Gut Bacteria Detoxify Mercury*
• Gut bacteria demethylate organic mercury forming insoluble free
mercury which is excreted
• Mice fed methyl- mercury (toxic)
• Antibiotics added in test group
*Figure 5 in IR Rowland, Toxicol Pathol 1988 16:147-153.

significantly between stool of

future health

Disruptions to the gut microbiome • Diet: eg High fat diet is
associated with altering
bacteria number and type • Disease states: Mainly association
studies (causal
direction unclear) for diabetes, some cancers, obesity, “irritable
bowel”, others
• Antibiotics: Effects are immediate and potentially long lasting,
especially important for children
• Bariatric Surgery: Rapid changes in food intake, metabolism
(including reversal of T2diabetes), fat mass, inflammation,
microbiome composition.
Gut Microbiome differs in individuals with and wtihout
diabetes
The gut micro-biome
l Our gut hosts billions of microorganisms which contain more than
150 times the genetic diversity of the human genome
l The micro-biome performs digestive and metabolic functions, and
“evolves” over our life course
l The micro-biome “talks” to the liver, the brain, organs
controlling metabolism, inflammation and the immune system
l The micro-biome is affected by what we put into our mouths
