Exendin-4 Exhibits Enhanced Anti-tumor Effects in Diabetic Mice
Abstract Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is associated with increased risk of cancers. In this connection, we previously demonstrated the promoting effect of diabetes on HPV-associated carcinogenesis using a xenograft model in db/db diabetic mice. The underlying mechanism of this observation might be partly c...
