Bone Metabolism: The Cycle of Bone Growth and Resorption
Bone metabolism is a continual cycle of bone growth and resorption that is carefully orchestrated by the dynamic relationship between osteoclasts, osteoblasts and an array of hormonal and regulatory influences. The relative levels of these signaling molecules dictate whether healthy, balanced bo...
The Generation and Function of Active GLP-1
The Generation and Function of Active GLP-1
Active glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is a member of the incretin hormone family and is generated as a result of post translational modifications during proglucagon processing1,2. Active GLP-1 plays a key role in the incretin effect and is vital for main...
Incretins GIP and GLP-1 in Diabetes and Obesity
800 million people worldwide struggle with obesity, a disease which will cost over $1 trillion in medical consequences by 2025. The CDC reports that severe obesity leads to life-altering and often life-threatening conditions like heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers.
