In the context of the IGF-1 LR3 pathway, this suggests that while extended IGF-1 activity can still support muscle repair and regeneration, the overall responsiveness of tissues to these signals may be somewhat reduced compared to higher-producing genotypes
For many individuals, weight loss is maintained only while the medication is continued
Given that DPP-4 clearly plays a role in the clearance of a number of hormones involved in the regulation of glucose homeostasis, the question arises of whether changes in DPP-4 activity might play a role in the pathogenesis of T2DM
