Exendin-4 Promotes Beta Cell Proliferation via PI3k/Akt Signalling Pathway
1 Jan 2015
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Prevention of diabetes requires maintenance of a functional beta-cell mass, the postnatal growth of which depends on beta cell proliferation. Past studies have shown evidence of an effect of an incretin analogue, Exendin-4, in promoting beta cell proliferation, whereas the underlying molecular mechanisms are not completely understood. METHODS: Here we studied the effects of Exendin-4 on beta cell...
