Effect of glucagon-like peptide-1(7–36)amide (GLP-1) on blood glucose and plasma immunoreactivities of gastrointestinal peptides

ParameterSalineGLP-1 0.3 pmol/kg/minGLP-1 0.9 pmol/kg/min
Mean (SEM) of absolute values (n=11); values for the basal period preceding intravenous infusion of saline or GLP-1 are shown in parentheses.
*p<0.05 versus saline; †p<0.05 versus GLP-1 0.3 pmol/kg/min. Differences were compared using one way repeated measures ANOVA employing individual mean incremental or decremental values over basal values during the post-drug period.
