DSIP Research Applications DSIP is studied in sleep physiology and chronobiology research, including delta-wave sleep architecture, hypothalamic-pituitary-axis interactions, cortisol and ACTH modulation, opioid receptor pathway research, and free-radical scavenging activity
It is an imbalanced agonist with GIPR potency close to native GIP but weaker GLP-1R affinity, and shows biased GLP-1R signaling, favoring cAMP over -arrestin recruitment
cAMP signaling through Gs-coupled receptors activates protein kinase A (PKA) and exchange protein directly activated by cAMP (EPAC) signals to potentiate insulin or GLP-1 secretion in pancreatic -cells 29 or intestinal L-cells 30,31
The mechanism involves sympathetic nervous system activation and direct stimulation of gut hormone release
