Glucagon‐like peptide‐1 acutely affects renal blood flow and urinary flow rate in spontaneously hypertensive rats despite significantly reduced renal expression of GLP‐1 receptors
Abstract Glucagon‐like peptide‐1 (GLP‐1) is an incretin hormone increasing postprandial insulin release. GLP‐1 also induces diuresis and natriuresis in humans and rodents. The GLP‐1 receptor is extensively expressed in the renal vascular tree in normotensive rats where acute GLP‐1 treatment leads to...
