After 48 h, the cells were washed with PBS (Gibco) and incubated in the assay buffer (HBSS supplemented with Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ (Gibco), 10 mM HEPES (Gibco), 0.1% Pluronic F-68 (Gibco) and 500 M IBMX (Sigma), pH 7.4) with different concentrations of GLP-1 (0 M to 1 M) in the presence (100 nM and 1000 nM) or absence of Fab7F38 at 37 C for 30 min
2) In addition to testing various doses of cagrilintide, the peptide was also tested in combination with semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist, in order to assess the impact treatment has on HbA1c levels in participants diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus
