Synthesis and Evaluation of Optical and PET GLP-1 Peptide Analogues for GLP-1R Imaging

A fluorescein-GLP-1 (7-37) analog was generated to determine GLP-1R distribution in various cell types of the pancreas in both strains of mice and receptor-specific uptake was confirmed by blocking with exendin-4. Biodistribution studies were carried out using 68 Ga-labeled GLP-1 (7-37) peptides in...
