    Abstract
    Introduction: GPR119 is a recently deorphanised G-protein coupled receptor which has been suggested to be important in mediating systemic metabolic homeostasis. Research to date has primarily focused on the ability of GPR119 to promote euglycaemia and thus as a therapeutic target for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Indeed, previous studies have shown that GPR119 promotes glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, pancreatic β-cell function and glucagon-like peptide-1 release, all of which provide valid mechanisms through which GPR119 may improve systemic glucose homeostasis. Areas covered: In the current review, ...

    Introduction: GPR119 is a recently deorphanised G-protein coupled receptor which has been suggested to be important in mediating systemic metabolic homeostasis. Research to date has primarily focused on the ability of GPR119 to promote euglycaemia and thus as a therapeutic target for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Indeed, previous studies have shown that GPR119 promotes glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, pancreatic β-cell function and glucagon-like peptide-1 release, all of which provide valid mechanisms through which GPR119 may improve systemic glucose homeostasis. Areas covered: In the current review, the authors provide a brief overview of the known functions of GPR119 and then discuss the novel potential for GPR119 to regulate metabolic function in skeletal and cardiac muscle and how this may translate to improvements or impairments in systemic health. Expert opinion: GPR119 is largely purported as being anti-diabetic and has been rapidly progressed to clinical trials, mainly as anti-diabetic agents. However, emerging data suggest that this class of agonists may have a detrimental effect at the level of the muscle. This may potentiate the development and progression of metabolic diseases such as T2DM. Therefore, further research is required before GPR119 receptor agonists can be prescribed with confidence as an anti-diabetic agent.
