Abstract

Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonism has been demonstrated to improve glucose intolerance and exendin-4, a GLP-1 receptor agonist, is currently being used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Recent studies suggest that GLP-1 may also ameliorate plasma triglyceride (TG) metabolism. In our previous study, we found exendin- 4 inhibited VLDL production by using APOE*3-Leiden (E3L) mouse, however, the mechanism underlying is still unclear. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the potential mechanism behind the inhibition of VLDL biosynthesis and secretion of exendin-4 in high fat diet-fed E3L mice.
