Abstract:The incretin, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), is
secreted by the intestinal L-cell upon nutrient ingestion. GLP-1 also exhibits
a circadian rhythm, with highest release at the onset of the feeding period.
Similarly, microbial composition and function exhibit circadian rhythmicity with
fasting-feeding. The circadian pattern of GLP-1 release was found to be
dependent upon the oral route of glucose administration and was necessary for
the rhythmic release of insulin and diurnal glycemic control, in normal male
