Choosing the Relevant GLP-1 Species to Study
A better understanding of incretins has led to tremendous therapeutic advances in the field of type 2 diabetes1. These hormones are released from the gut in response to food ingestion and lead to the stimulation of pancreatic β-cells which then release insulin in a glucose-concentration de...
Obesity Induced Adipose Tissue Dysfunction and NAFLD
Obesity is a known risk factor for developing metabolic diseases such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)1. An increasing amount of evidence shows that obesity induced adipose tissue dysfunction and NAFLD development are closely related2. Obesity induced changes to adipokine secretion can h...
Investigating Immunogenicity of IBD Biologics
Biologics have been commonly prescribed as therapies for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) since the late 1990s. However, research demonstrates that not all individuals respond to the first biologic taken and many lose response over time1. As a result, there is a great need to explore the immunogenic...
The Relationship Between Glucagon and Energy Homeostasis
Glucagon is a gut hormone generated as a result of post translational modifications during proglucagon processing in the pancreas1,2,3. Research has demonstrated that glucagon has many physiological functions1,4. Understanding the role of glucagon in energy homeostasis has become important to many d...
