    • GLP-1 promotes mitochondrial metabolism in vascular smooth muscle cells by enhancing endoplasmic ... 
      Morales, Pablo E.; Torres, Gloria; Sotomayor Torres, Cristian; Peña Oyarzún, Daniel; Rivera Mejías, Pablo; Paredes, Felipe; Chiong Lay, Mario (Elsevier, 2014)
      Incretin GLP-1 has important metabolic effects on several tissues, mainly through the regulation of glucose uptake and usage. One mechanism for increasing cell metabolism is modulating endoplasmic reticulum (ER)–mitochondria ...
    • Glucagon-like peptide-1 inhibits vascular smooth muscle cell dedifferentiation through mitochondrial dynamics ... 
      Torres, Gloria; Morales, Pablo E.; García Miguel, Marina; Norambuena Soto, Ignacio; Cartes Saavedra, Benjamin; Vidal Pena, Gonzalo; Moncada Ruff, David; Sanhueza Olivares, Fernanda; San Martín, Alejandra; Chiong Lay, Mario (PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD., 2016)
      Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is a neuroendocrine hormone produced by gastrointestinal tract in response to food ingestion. GLP-1 plays a very important role in the glucose homeostasis by stimulating glucose-dependent ...
    • Influence of glucose metabolism on vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation 
      Chiong Lay, Mario; Morales, Pablo Esteban; Torres, Gloria; Gutiérrez, Tómas; García Nannig, Lorena; Ibacache, Mauricio; Michea Acevedo, Luis (Hans Huber, 2013)
      Diff erentiation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) is an essential process of vascular development. VSMC have biosynthetic, proliferative, and contractile roles in the vessel wall. Alterations in the diff erentiated ...
