L-valine is a powerful stimulator of GLP-1 secretion in rodents and stimulates secretion through ATP-sensitive potassium channels and voltage-gated calcium channels

I. M. Modvig, M. M. Smits, et al.

This exciting study explores how L-valine boosts glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) release, revealing mechanisms that could influence metabolic health. Conducted by a team from the University of Copenhagen, the findings highlight the potential of L-valine in stimulating GLP-1, offering insights into gut responses.

Abstract
This study investigated the mechanism by which L-valine stimulates glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) release. Oral L-valine increased plasma active GLP-1 in mice comparably to glucose. In isolated perfused rat small intestine, L-valine strongly stimulated GLP-1 release, an effect inhibited by nifedipine (voltage-gated Ca²⁺-channel blocker) and diazoxide (KATP-channel opener). L-valine also stimulated GLP-1 and PYY release from the perfused rat colon, though less potently than in the small intestine. The findings suggest that L-valine's GLP-1 stimulatory effect involves intracellular metabolism, KATP-channel closure, and voltage-gated Ca²⁺-channel opening.
