<p>HEK-GLP-1R cells (<b>A and B</b>) or INS-1E cells (<b>C and D</b>) were challenged for 5 min with either vehicle (1% v/v DMSO), GLP-1 9–36 amide (1 or 10 µM as indicated) or compound 2 alone or GLP-1 9–36 amide (1 µM) and compound 2 together as indicated. Cells were also challenged with GLP-1 7–36 amide (10 nM). Levels of phospho-ERK were then determined by Western blotting. The intensity of the bands representing phospho-ERK was determined using ImageJ and the mean data are shown in the panels below the immunoblot with basal (0) levels subtracted. Data are either representative of 3 experiments or mean+s.e.m., n = 3. *, P<0.05 and ** P<0.01 by Student's test versus the numerical sum of both GLP-1 9–36 amide (1 µM) and compound 2 at the concentration indicated when used alone.</p
