Shannons group is the first to demonstrate that infusion of GLP-1(7-36) (1.5 pmol/kg/min) for 72 hr in patients with left ventricular dysfunction after MI improved global and regional left ventricular wall motion scores and reduced hospital stay and in-hospital mortality

For example, doses of 2-3 mg/kg/day, similar to that reported in platelets from PD patients, produced complex I inhibition with selective nigrostriatal degeneration and astrocyte activation [14,65]
