The acute effects of exercise on appetite, ad libitum energy intake and gut hormone responses have received much attention over the past two decades. The experiments in this thesis have contributed to this research by examining appetite, acylated ghrelin, peptide-YY (PYY), leptin and ad libitum energy intake responses to two consecutive days of moderate-high intensity running. To achieve this 15 individuals aged 21 (2) y, with a BMI of 23.0 (1.9) kg·m-2 were recruited. Additionally, appetite, acylated ghrelin, PYY, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), and ad libitum energy intake responses to an acute bout of moderate intensity treadmill exercise were compared in lean and overweight/obese (ow/ob) males and females. Two separate cohorts of individuals were recruited; 22 lean individuals and 25 ow/ob individuals (aged 38 (15) and 45 (12) y, with a BMI of 22 (2) and 29 (3) kg·m 2, for lean and ow/ob individuals, respectively). In Chapter 4, two consecutive days of 60 min treadmill running at 70% VO₂ peak did not produce compensatory changes in appetite or energy intake over two days. There were no main effects of trial for acylated ghrelin or leptin. However a main effect of trial for PYY indicated higher concentrations on the exercise than control trial. A meta-analysis was completed in Chapter 5, suggesting further research in the effects of acute exercise on appetite regulatory hormones in individuals who are ow/ob was necessary. In Chapter 6, 60 min of treadmill exercise at 60% VO₂ peak did not alter appetite sensations or energy intake in the 7 h after exercise in lean and ow/ob males and females. There were no main effects of sex, BMI or trial for acylated ghrelin; however, PYY and GLP-1 concentrations were higher in exercise than control trials. This thesis has demonstrated that over two days, high volume exercise does not stimulate compensatory appetite regulatory changes, in lean healthy males. In the short term, lean and ow/ob males and females respond similarly to acute exercise, showing no alterations in appetite or food intake responses, whilst PYY and GLP-1 concentrations are higher in exercise than control trials.

Selon l'organisation mondiale de la santé, le diabète de type II (DT2), caractérisé par un défaut de contrôle de la glycémie, est une des causes principales de décès dans le monde. Le GLP-1, sécrété par l'intestin après un repas, contribue au contrôle de la glycémie en stimulant la sécrétion d'insuline par le pancréas et en inhibant la vidange gastrique et la prise alimentaire. Ces actions sont principalement médiées par le nerf vague selon un axe intestin-cerveau-organes périphériques, bien que l'hormone puisse aussi agir de manière endocrine directement sur ses organes cibles via son récepteur (GLP-1r). Des stratégies thérapeutiques basées sur le GLP-1 sont donc utilisées pour traiter les patients diabétiques, mais les réponses sont hétérogènes voire inefficaces pour le contrôle glycémique. Les mécanismes moléculaires responsables sont inconnus mais pourraient être en lien avec la modification du microbiote intestinal, élément déterminant dans le développement des maladies métaboliques. Nous avons d'abord montré que des souris rendues diabétiques (régimes riches en graisse) perdent leur sensibilité aux actions hypoglycémiantes du GLP-1 et présentent une neuropathie entérique, une baisse de l'expression du GLP-1r intestinal et vagal et une altération de l'axe intestin-cerveau. De plus, dans les neurones entériques en culture primaire issus de ces souris diabétiques, la production de NO induite par le GLP-1, est diminuée. Tous ces effets sont retrouvés chez des souris axéniques ou traitées aux antibiotiques sous régime normal démontrant l'implication du microbiote. À l'inverse, des souris sous régime gras traitées aux antibiotiques ont une amélioration de l'action du GLP-1. Cette action hormonale intestinale pourrait aussi dépendre du cycle nycthéméral pour lequel nous avons observé une oscillation de la sécrétion d'insuline, de l'expression du GLP-1r et des bactéries intestinales. De plus, les souris contrôles répondent moins bien à l'hormone au cours du jour que de la nuit et les souris diabétiques, axéniques et antibiotiques - modèles résistants au GLP-1 - ont des variations très marquées et communes de l'expression des "clock genes". L'ensemble de ces résultats montre qu'au cours diabète, l'action du GLP-1 est diminuée. Cette diminution peut s'expliquer par une baisse de l'expression neuronale du GLP-1r et une diminution de la voie de signalisation dépendant du NO capable de réguler la sécrétion d'insuline induite par le GLP-1. Le microbiote et/ou la régulation circadienne semblent déterminants dans la sensibilité au GLP-1. / According to the World Health Organisation, Type II Diabetes, characterized by an alteration of glycemic control, causes numerous death around the world. After a meal, gut secretes Glucagon-Like Peptide one (GLP-1) which regulates glycemia by stimulation of insulin secretion and inhibition of gastric emptying and food intake. Although GLP-1 acts as an endocrine hormone on its target organs through the GLP1 receptor, its action is mainly mediated by nervous pathway involving vagus nerve and gut-brain-periphery axis. Thus, GLP-1 based therapies are used to control glycaemia in type 2 diabetic patients, but, efficiency of the treatment is heterogeneous defining a state of GLP-1 unresponsiveness. Molecular mechanisms involved in this unresponsiveness are not known but could be linked to the changes in gut microbiota (dysbiosis), key element in the development of metabolic diseases. We first found that diabetic mice (high fat diet) are unresponsive to hypoglycemic action of GLP-1 and present enteric neuropathy, impaired gut-brain axis and reduction of GLP-1r and neuronal NO synthase expression in the ileum. In addition, GLP-1-induced nitric oxide production in primary neuron culture is decreased. These effects were also found in germ-free or antibiotic-treated mice under normal chow diet, indicating the involvement of gut microbiota. By contrast, high fat diet mice treated with antibiotics show an improvement of GLP-1 action. This gut incretin action could also depend on the circadian cycle for which we observed a wavering of insulin secretion, GLP-1r expression and gut microbiota. Moreover, the GLP-1 response of control mice is better in the day than in the night and the different mice model resistant to GLP-1 (HFD, axenic or antibiotics) present the same marked variations in the expression of major clock genes. Overall our results show that in type 2 diabetes GLP-1 action is lowered and can be explained by decreased neuronal expression of GLP-1r as well as the NO-dependent signaling pathway regulating insulin secretion induced by GLP-1. Microbiota or the circadian clock seems essential in this GLP-1 sensitivity.

Facing the growing prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D), the development of nutritionalinterventions allowing not only optimal glycemic control but also promoting postprandial satietyand overall satisfaction constitutes an interesting therapeutic avenue. This study was carried outin two parts, with the first part informing the second one.The first part was conducted in 61 middle-aged adults with or without prediabetes orT2D and aimed to assess the influences of gender/sex and health status on the relative rankingof the importance of eight common determinants of food choices as well as the sensoryevaluation and the frequency of consumption of almonds, pistachios, avocados, oatmeal, andeggs. Data analysis showed that 1) participants perceived “taste and own food preferences” ashaving the greatest influence on their food choices, 2) women attributed more importance to their“own food-related health beliefs” (p=0.040), while men reported a higher influence of the“recommendations of a health professional” (p=0.065), 3) almonds’ and pistachios’ taste wasrated the highest, and 4) taste ratings of pistachios (β=0.323, p=0.018) and avocados (β=0.604,p<0.001) were positively associated with their frequency of consumption by participants.Based on the sensory evaluation of the five foods, almonds were included in the testmeal of the second part of this study. The latter was conducted in 7 middle-aged men with T2Dand aimed to assess the effects of the types of macronutrient subtypes contained in isocaloricmacronutrient-matched meals on the postprandial glycemic, hormonal (insulin and glucagon-likepeptide-1 (GLP-1)) and appetite responses. The control meal contained white bread, butter andcheese, and the test meal contained white bread and almonds. Data analysis showed that thetest meal was associated with 1) lower postprandial glycemia (p=0.014), 2) higher postprandialGLP-1 serum concentrations (p=0.044) as well as 3) decreased hunger (p=0.032) and increasedfullness (p=0.014). There were no meal-associated differences in postprandial serum insulinconcentrations.Results highlight the importance of taste and food preferences and point out somegender/sex-related differences in the determinants of food choices. They also support thebeneficial effects of almonds, a food that seemed well appreciated by men and women, on keytherapeutic targets of T2D management.

Diabetes is an independent risk factor for cognitive impairment. However, little is known about the neuroprotective effects of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) analogs on type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Herein, we assessed the impact of GLP-1 analogs on the general cognitive functioning among patients with T2DM

Diabetes Mellitus has continued to drastically affect the health of the world and many complications can prove fatal. As long as this metabolic disease persist, research discoveries will need to continue to be made so that patient outcomes and healthcare are dramatically enhanced. In recent years, GLP-1 has been the topic of conversation for diabetes research, due to its promising effects in promoting insulin sensitivity. Furthermore, bile acids and their receptors (TGR5 & FXR) have shown promise in their actions in the regulation of GLP-1, and thus glucose homeostasis. Here we have shown the detection and increased expression of TGR5 and GLP-1, and decreased expression of FXR in diabetic mouse intestinal mucosa tissues. We have also shown the detection and increased expression of these receptors in STC-1 cells. More importantly we have linked the connection of increased glucose concentration (hyperglycemia) to increased TGR5 activation to increased GLP-1 release, thus leading to increased insulin sensitivity and altered diabetic outcomes.
