F-1, Food Stamp Program State Summary, August 2002

The Food Assistance Monthly Participation Report is a monthly summary of Food Assistance program participation, Statewide and for each Iowa county. Breakouts are reported for participants also in the FIP program, those only receiving Food Assistance, and those that are receiving economic assistance under other programs (primarily Medicaid). This report may also be known as the F-1 Report.

Renal effects of adenosine A1-receptor blockade with 8-cyclopentyl-1,3-dipropylxanthine in hypoxemic newborn rabbits.

The key role of intrarenal adenosine in mediating the hypoxemic acute renal insufficiency in newborn rabbits has been well demonstrated using the nonspecific adenosine antagonist theophylline. The present study was designed to define the role of adenosine A1 receptors during systemic hypoxemia by using the specific A1-receptor antagonist 8-cyclopentyl-1,3-dipropylxanthine (DPCPX). Renal function parameters were assessed in 31 anesthetized and mechanically ventilated newborn rabbits. In normoxia, DPCPX infusion induced a significant increase in diuresis (+44%) and GFR (+19%), despite a significant decrease in renal blood flow (RBF) (-22%) and an increase in renal vascular resistance (RVR) (+37%). In hypoxemic conditions, diuresis (-19%), GFR (-26%), and RBF (-35%) were decreased, whereas RVR increased (+33%). DPCPX administration hindered the hypoxemia-induced decrease in GFR and diuresis. However, RBF was still significantly decreased (-27%), whereas RVR increased (+22%). In all groups, the filtration fraction increased significantly. The overall results support the hypothesis that, in physiologic conditions, intrarenal adenosine plays a key role in regulating glomerular filtration in the neonatal period through preferential A1-mediated afferent vasoconstriction. During a hypoxemic stress, the A1-specific antagonist DPCPX only partially prevented the hypoxemia-induced changes, as illustrated by the elevated RVR and drop in RBF. These findings imply that the contribution of intrarenal adenosine to the acute adverse effects of hypoxemia might not be solely mediated via the A1 receptor.

Glucagon-like peptide-1 protects beta-cells against apoptosis by increasing the activity of an IGF-2/IGF-1 receptor autocrine loop.

OBJECTIVE: The gluco-incretin hormones glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-1 and gastric inhibitory peptide (GIP) protect beta-cells against cytokine-induced apoptosis. Their action is initiated by binding to specific receptors that activate the cAMP signaling pathway, but the downstream events are not fully elucidated. Here we searched for mechanisms that may underlie this protective effect. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: We performed comparative transcriptomic analysis of islets from control and GipR(-/-);Glp-1-R(-/-) mice, which have increased sensitivity to cytokine-induced apoptosis. We found that IGF-1 receptor expression was markedly reduced in the mutant islets. Because the IGF-1 receptor signaling pathway is known for its antiapoptotic effect, we explored the relationship between gluco-incretin action, IGF-1 receptor expression and signaling, and apoptosis. RESULTS: We found that GLP-1 robustly stimulated IGF-1 receptor expression and Akt phosphorylation and that increased Akt phosphorylation was dependent on IGF-1 but not insulin receptor expression. We demonstrated that GLP-1-induced Akt phosphorylation required active secretion, indicating the presence of an autocrine activation mechanism; we showed that activation of IGF-1 receptor signaling was dependent on the secretion of IGF-2. We demonstrated, both in MIN6 cell line and primary beta-cells, that reducing IGF-1 receptor or IGF-2 expression or neutralizing secreted IGF-2 suppressed GLP-1-induced protection against apoptosis. CONCLUSIONS: An IGF-2/IGF-1 receptor autocrine loop operates in beta-cells. GLP-1 increases its activity by augmenting IGF-1 receptor expression and by stimulating secretion; this mechanism is required for GLP-1-induced protection against apoptosis. These findings may lead to novel ways of preventing beta-cell loss in the pathogenesis of diabetes.
