GLP-1 increases MafA protein expression levels in HIT-T15 cells cultured in the presence of GS. (a) Representative western blot of three different experiments. (b) Quantification of densitometries of western blot bands. Data were expressed as mean ± SE of fold induction relative to β-actin (𝑛=3). ^∗𝑃<0.05 versus CTR; ^§𝑃<0.05 versus GS.
