Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Are glucagon-like peptide-1 ( GLP-1 ) receptors overexpressed in pancreatic islets from patients with severe hyperinsulinaemic hypoglycaemia following gastric bypass?
Answer: In contrast to insulinoma, hyperinsulinaemic hypoglycaemia after gastric bypass surgery is not accompanied by overexpression of GLP-1 receptor in individual islets. Thus, patients with post-gastric bypass hyperinsulinaemic hypoglycaemia are not candidates for GLP-1 receptor imaging in vivo using radiolabelled exendin. These GLP-1 receptor data support the notion that the islet pathobiology of post-gastric bypass hypoglycaemia is distinctly different from that of benign insulinomas.
Output (English): no
