If a caregiver assists, the upper arm can substitute for any week in the cycle
Genetics and receptor sensitivity Individual variation in GLP-1 receptor expression, density, and sensitivity creates a genetic component to treatment response
When comparing cell sources, trade-offs in potency and safety emerge
Burn off some extra energy, which can nudge the scale down
Seino (Kobe University, Japan), were used between passages 15 and 25 and grown in DMEM containing 10% (vol/vol) fetal calf serum, 10 mM HEPES, 2 mM L-glutamine, 1 mM sodium pyruvate, and 0.05 mM 2-mercaptoethanol at 37 C with 5% CO 2
confirmed that GLP-1 was cleaved from proglucagon in the gut by cloning and sequencing the mammalian glucagon gene (Bell et al., 1983a
