Abstract excerpt
Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) potentiates glucose-stimulated insulin secretion from pancreatic β cells, yet does not directly stimulate secretion. The mechanisms underlying this phenomenon are incompletely understood. Here, we report that GLP-1 augments glucose-dependent rises in NAD(P)H autofluorescence in both βTC3 insulinoma cells and islets in a manner consistent with post-translational activation of...
