    incubated in a salt solution with 2.8mM to 16.8 mM glucose and increasing levels of dulaglutide with or without exendin‚ a well characterized GLP-1 receptor agonist (Ding‚ et al.‚ 2006). Insulin was then measured over a 90-minute period. Insulin secretion was significantly increased with the inclusion of 20 nM dulaglutide at the high dose of glucose (16.8 mM)‚ and no significant increase in insulin secretion was observed in the low dose of glucose (2.8 mM). Unmodified GLP-1 caused a 4-fold increase
