Certain nutrients stimulate glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) secretion from the intestinal enteroendocrine L-cells, but due to rapid degradation by the DPP-4 enzyme, >90% is converted to inactive metabolite before reaching the target organs via circulation. Plants are a source of potent bioactive compounds that promote endogenous secretion of GLP-1 from L-cells. To search for the effective bioactive compound from a vast library of natural compounds, a reliable and low-cost assay is required considering the high cost of commercial assays. We developed a low-cost sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (s-‍ELISAs) for detecting ‘total’, ‘sensitive active’, and ‘wide-range active’ GLP-1. The s-ELISAs exhibited high sensitivity with measurement ranges between 0.94~240, 0.98~62.5, and 4.8~4,480 pmol/L, respectively. High precision was observed; i.e., CVs within 5% and 20% for intra- and inter-assay variations, respectively, and excellent recovery of exogenous GLP-1 from assay buffer. The developed s-ELISAs had the same performance as the commercial kits and approximately 80% cheaper cost. For their application, cinnamtannin A2-induced GLP-1 secretion was confirmed in STC-1 cells consistent with our previous findings. The s-ELISAs were further validated by measuring plasma GLP-1 level in mice after oral administration of black soy bean seed coat extract containing cinnamtannin A2.
