Abstract excerpt
Infants with congenital hyperinsulinism owing to inactivating mutations in the K(ATP) channel (K(ATP)HI) who are unresponsive to medical therapy will require pancreatectomy to control the hypoglycemia. In preclinical studies, we showed that the GLP-1 receptor antagonist exendin-(9-39) suppresses insulin secretion and corrects fasting hypoglycemia in SUR-1(-/-) mice. The aim of this study was to examine the...
