Abstract:Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is a peptide with multiple functions in regulating blood glucose with the mechnism still not throughly understand. AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) plays an important role in glucose and energy homeostasis, especially in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) pathophysiology. This study explores GLP-1 analogue exendin-4 (Ex-4) regulating glucose balance by activating AMPK and regulation gluconeogenesis in insulin-resistant cell model (IR/ HepG2). IR/HepG2 cells were treated with Ex-… Show more
