NCTC1469 cells, a normal mouse hepatocyte cell line, were obtained from the American Type Culture Collection and were cultured in DMEM containing 10% (v/v) fetal horse serum, 2 mM glutamine, 5 U/mL penicillin, and 50 g/mL streptomycin at 37 C in a humidified O 2 /CO 2 (19:1) atmosphere
Exogenous GLP-1 improves gastric compliance in a dose-dependent manner (Schirra et al., 2002), reduces the frequency and amplitude of gastric antrum and duodenum contraction, inhibits the contractile force of gastric antrum and duodenum, increases pyloric tension, and stimulates pyloric tetanic and phase motion (Schirra et al., 2000)

Elimination of exenatide is primarily achieved by glomerular filtration with subsequent proteolytic degradation (120122)
