The Effect of Glucagon-like Peptide-2 on Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 in Murine Intestinal Subepithelial Myofibroblasts

Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), a known secretory product of intestinal subepithelial myofibroblasts (ISEMF), is essential for the intestinotrophic effects of glucagon-like peptide-2(GLP-2). I hypothesized that GLP-2 increases the production of IGF-1 by primary murine ISEMF in culture. Immunoc...
