Small intestine morphology and recovery after drug-induced colitis in proglucagon-derived peptides knockout mice

Small intestine morphology and recovery after drug-induced colitis in proglucagon-derived peptides knockout mice

Objective. Dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP)-4 inhibitors inactivate glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-1, GLP-2, and other hormones by degradation. Administration of a DPP-4 inhibitor or GLP-2 analog stimulates intestinal growth and facilitates the restoration of mucosal damage caused by drug-induced colitis in...
