Abstract excerpt
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), an insulinotropic and glucoincretin hormone, is a potentially important therapeutic agent in the treatment of diabetes. We previously provided evidence that GLP-1 induces pancreatic beta-cell growth nonadditively with glucose in a phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI-3K)-dependent manner. In the present study, we investigated the downstream effectors of PI-3K to determine the precise...
