Abstract
⺠GLP-1(28-36)amide, derived from GLP-1, has insulin-like actions in obese mice. ⺠The nonapeptide inhibits weight gain and the development of insulin resistance. ⺠It also attenuates diabetes and hepatic steatosis. ⺠No effects of GLP-1(28-36)amide are seen in normal lean, insulin-sensitive mice. ⺠GLP-1(28-36)amide might be a treatment for metabolic syndrome.
