Background: G-Protein Coupled Receptors-120 (GPR120) and GPR40 are of interest as targets for treating diabetes and obesity due to their involvement in incretin secretion. This study investigated the mechanistic function of dual agonism on regulating the regeneration of beta cell mass, proliferation, and the insulin secretory response, using CRISPR/Cas9 gene knockout cells and intracellular-signalling analysis.Methods: Clonal pancreatic BRIN-BD11 cells a...
