Figure 2

Expression of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) in pancreatic islet cells of normal pancreas of Wistar rats. Expression of the GLP-1R in the pancreas of 15-week-old Wistar rats was examined by immunofluorescence staining. In the left panels a–c, figures are × 400 magnification of an area showing a pancreatic islet. GLP-1 (red) (α cells) and GLP-1R expression (green) are shown. In the right panels d–f, figures are × 100 magnification of an area showing expression in other islets (α and β cells). GLP-1 (red) and GLP-1R expression (green) are shown. This slide shows GLP-1R is present in β cells and not α cells. These pictures are representative of four experiments.
