GLP-1 (1-37) (human, rat, mouse, bovine) (trifluoroacetate salt) (Synonyms: Glucagon-like Peptide-1)

Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) (1-37) is a 37-residue incretin hormone that is cleaved in vivo into active truncated forms.[1] GLP-1 (1-37) decreases plasma glucose level in high-fat-fed mice when administered at 25 nmol/kg but does not affect plasma insulin level.[2] Pretreament with GLP-1 (1-37) (24 nmol/kg) prevents blood glucose increases in fasted and glucose challenged mice with diabetes induced by streptozotocin .[3] It inhibits polyphagia and polydipsia in STZ-induced diabetic mice 10 and 20 days, respectively, following initiation of GLP-1 (1-37) administration at a dose of 24 nmol/kg. Pretreament with GLP-1 (1-37) (24 nmol/kg) also inhibits loss of pancreatic islets and global and pancreatic oxidative stress in mice with STZ-induced diabetes.
