Low, but Physiological, Concentration of GLP-1 Stimulates Insulin Secretion Independent of the cAMP-Dependent Protein Kinase Pathway

Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) induces pancreatic insulin secretion via the cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) pathway. However, the GLP-1 concentration used in the previous in vitro experiments was far from the in vivo concentrations. Alteration of plasma GLP-1 concentration at pM order lowers bl...
