GLP-1 Induces the Expression of FNDC5 Derivatives That Execute Lipolytic Actions

Multiple GLP-1-derived therapeutics are clinically used to treat type 2 diabetes and obesity. However, the underlying mechanism of how these drugs regulate the body weight of obese patients remains incompletely understood. Here, we report that the lipolysis effects of GLP-1 on β cells can depend on...

GLP-1 Induces the Expression of FNDC5 Derivatives That Execute Lipolytic Actions
