SSTR5[1].

SSTR5 antagonist 2 (10 mg/kg, orally) increases both total and active circulating incretin hormone GLP1 levels in mice at a dose of 10 mg/kg[1]. SSTR5 antagonist 2 increases pancreatic insulin secretion as well as total and active GLP1 release, and demonstrates synergistic effects in combination with DPP4 inhibitors[1]. Animal Model: Rodent diabetic model without risk of hypoglycemia[1]. Dosage: 10 mg/kg. Administration: Orally. Result: Increased both total and active circulating incretin hormone GLP1 levels.
