Saxagliptin Induces β-Cell Proliferation through Increasing Stromal Cell-Derived Factor-1α In Vivo and In Vitro
Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors, such as saxagliptin, have been reported to have beneficial effects on β-cell function, but the specific underlying mechanism remains unclear. Stromal cell-derived factor-1α (SDF-1α), a chemokine produced in multiple organs, has been considered as a crucial regulato...
