Butyrate administered in pharmacological doses (5 mM) directly to ex vivo rat islets can increase GSIS (Wang et al., 2022), but this effect might potentially be due to mechanisms unrelated to its binding to FFARs, such as on chromatin remodelling (Priyadarshini et al., 2015), found that primary isolated wild-type mouse islets secrete 50% more insulin in a GSIS assay following co-stimulation with acetate and Exendin-4 compared to FFA2 KO islets
GLP-1RAs can also exert anti-inflammatory effects on macrophages as well as regulating macrophage phenotype [65]
