Abstract Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is an incretin hormone that induces
glucose-dependent insulin secretion and may have neurotrophic properties. Our
aim was to identify the presence and activity of GLP-1 receptors (GLP-1Rs) in
peripheral nerve and to assess the impact of GLP-1R agonists on diabetes-induced
nerve disorders.
