PRECLINICAL SCIENCE
In preclinical studies of mice, a gut bacterial strain releasing the two hormones induces a lowering of blood glucose, body weight and inflammation
but an increase of muscle- and bone mass
The recombinant bacterial peptide chosen for lead development
induces an increase of whole body insulin sensitivity and an increase in expression
of key genes involved in stimulation of thermogenesis, muscle cell differentiation
and bone formation but a suppression of hepatic glucose production
