Since an increase of [Ca 2+ ] i triggers GLP-1 release from intestinal L-cells 10 , and since L-cells express TRPA1 channels 9 , these findings indicated that JWU-A021 might serve as the prototype of a new class of small molecule GLP-1 secretagogues with TRPA1 channel activating properties
In contrast to other AOMs, which either suppress appetite or inhibit fat absorption [23], GLP-1RAs reduce body weight in a number of ways, decreasing appetite and hunger, and increasing satiety, resulting in reduced energy intake [24,25,26]
