The Neurotrophic Function of Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Promotes Human Neuroblastoma Differentiation via the PI3K-AKT Axis
22 Oct 2020
Abstract excerpt
Background: Neurons are terminally-differentiated cells that generally develop from neuronal stem cells stimulated by various neurotrophic factors such as NGF, BDNF, NT3, and NT-4. Neurotrophic factors have multiple functions for neurons, including enabling neuronal development, growth, and protection. Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is an intestinal-secreted incretin that enhances cellular glucose up-take to...
