Gut hormones produced by gastrointestinal enteroendocrine cells modulate key physiological processes including glucose homeostasis and food intake, making them potential therapeutic candidates to treat obesity and diabetes. Understanding the function of enteroendocrine cells and the molecular mechanisms driving hormone production is a key step toward mobilizing endogenous hormone reserves in the gut as a therapeutic strategy. In this review, we will discuss the variety of ex vivo and in vitro model systems driving this research and their contributions to our current understanding of nutrient-sensing mechanisms in enteroendocrine cells.
胃肠道内分泌细胞产生的肠激素调节包括葡萄糖稳态和摄食在内的关键生理过程,使它们成为治疗肥胖症和糖尿病的潜在治疗候选物。了解内分泌细胞的功能和驱动激素产生的分子机制是将肠道内源性激素储备作为治疗策略的关键步骤。在这篇综述中,我们将讨论推动这一研究的各种离体和体外模型系统及其对我们当前理解肠内分泌细胞中营养感应机制的贡献。
