07/2005 | Biological Chemistry, Walter de GruyterIn this study, we tested the biological activity of a novel acylated form of (Pro3)glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypetide [(Pro3)GIP] prepared by conjugating palmitic acid to Lys16 to enhance its efficacy

02/2007 | Biological Chemistry, Walter de GruyterEffects of chemical ablation of the GIP and GLP-1 receptors on metabolic aspects of obesity-diabetes were investigated using the stable receptor antagonists (Pro3)GIP and exendin(9–39)amide...
