Aim: Our previous studies indicated the potential antidiabetic actions of the amphibian host-defence peptide, tigerinin-1. Tigerinin-1R was conjugated with gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP) as part of strategies for further development of its therapeutic effects. This study characterises the insulin-releasing and cytotoxic properties of the resulting hybrid peptide.Method: Pure G-TGN was commercially synthesized G-TGN. Insulin releasing effects were a...
