Abstract 4142101: Preservation of Cardiac Function by Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 (28-36) through Metabolic Modulation and Coronary Vasodilation in a Juvenile Porcine Model of Donation after Circulatory Death
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Purpose and Hypothesis: Despite the increasing number of donation after circulatory death (DCD) heart transplants over the last decade, there is no promising cardioprotective agent to improve DCD heart function in this clinical setting. There is some evidence that glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-1 (28-36), a metabolite of the insulinotropic GLP-1(7-36) incretin hormone, provides cytoprotection to the coronary vasculature without activating the GLP-1 receptor. This study aims to explore the potential benefits of GLP-1(28-36) on DCD hearts in juvenile pigs. Methods and Results: DCD heart procurement was performed on twelve Yorkshire juvenile pigs (9-12 kg) with a 15-min warm ischemic period, followed by reperfusion for 2 hours using ex-vivo heart perfusion (unloaded condition) with either GLP-1(28-36) or scrambled GLP-1(28-36) control (SCRAM) (each N=6, 6-nM), before switching to working mode (loaded condition). Between-group differences were analyzed using Wilcoxon rank-sum tests and linear mixed-effects models. Over the reperfusion period, venous lactate levels trended down in the GLP-1(28-36) group, compared to SCRAM (3.0±1.1 vs. 4.4±0.5, mmol/L at 120min, p=0.01; Figure 1A ), despite no significant difference seen in plasma cardiac troponin I levels in working mode (GLP-1[28-36] vs. SCRAM, 61±20 vs. 83±18, ng/mL, p=0.08). Coronary vascular resistance was lower in the GLP-1(28-36) group vs. SCRAM (0.48±0.11 vs. 0.93±0.51 mmHg*min/mL/100g at 30min, p<0.01; Figure 1B ). During working mode, GLP-1(28-36)-treated hearts showed better diastolic function (dp/dt min: -3357±784 vs. -2372±471 mmHg/sec, p=0.03), with comparable systolic function (p=0.13). Higher levels of cardiac activated endothelial nitric oxide synthase (0.23±0.05 vs. 0.14±0.02, p<0.01) and plasma cyclic guanosine monophosphate (45±22 vs. 23±11, pmol/mL, p=0.03) were observed with GLP-1(28-36) treatment. Conclusion: GLP-1(28-36) preserves diastolic function of DCD hearts during ex-vivo heart perfusion by reducing anaerobic metabolism and maintaining coronary endothelial function.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
