Interaction Information:
Comment | Glucose-stimulated insulin release was significantly reduced in islets from obese db/db mice, compared with the control mice. Exendin-4 and valsartan significantly doubled glucose-induced insulin release of db/db isolated islets. A clear synergetic effect was observed with the combination to the extent that these levels were comparable with those in normal m/db islets. |
