Abstract excerpt
1-Cells from rodents and humans express different receptors recognizing hormones of the secretin-glucagon family, which--when activated--synergize with glucose in the control of insulin release. We have recently reported that isolated islets from mice homozygous for a GLP-1 receptor null mutation (GLP-1R(-/-)) exhibit a well-preserved insulin-secretory response to glucose. This observation can be interpreted in...
