Maternal obesity promotes a proinflammatory signature in rat uterus and blastocyst.

abstract：:Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), in the form of either GLP-1-(7-36)amide or GLP-1-(7-37), has been shown to potently stimulate insulin release in a glucose-dependent manner and is suggested to be a physiological incretin. To explore the mechanisms by which GLP-1-(7-36)amide stimulates insulin release, we investigated ...
