Figure 4. Colocalization of GPR120 mRNA and GLP-1 in human colonic cells, and FFA-induced GLP-1 and insulin secretion in mice.
(a) In situ hybridization for GPR120 (ISH) and immunohistochemistry with antibody to GLP-1 (IHC). (b) Real-time RT-PCR of either GLP-1-immunoreactive cells (Positive) or the GLP-1-unstained mucosa (negative). (c,d) Effects of alpha-linolenic acids intubation on plasma GLP-1 and insulin concentrations in portal vein and inferior vena cava of mice. (e) Effects of fatty acids intubation on plasma GLP-1 concentrations in portal vein of mouse. * P < 0.05.** P < 0.01. Error bars represent s.e.m.
