Contribution of GLP-1 Receptor

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the role of GLP1R in the response to elevated  glucagon concentrations.

The GLP-1 receptor gene is found on the beta cells of the pancreas. Its role is in the control of blood sugar level by enhancing insulin secretion from the pancreas after eating a meal. Results from this study may help us identify therapeutic pathways to prevent or reverse type 2 diabetes mellitus.
