In this work, the potential application of gold nanoparticles for GLP-1 analogues delivery was studied. For this purpose, the original sequence of the incretin GLP-1 was slightly modified in the C-terminal region by adding ...

We tested the exendin-4 and des-fluoro-sitagliptin effects on fructose-induced increase in liver glucokinase activity in rats with impaired glucose tolerance and the exendin-4 effect on glucokinase activity in HepG2 cells ...
