HEXA and Obesity: We produced a long-acting HEXA-FC fusion protein (murine HEXA and the fragment crystallisable [FC] region from IgG1) and evaluated the effects of chronic bi-weekly HEXA-FC administration (1 mg/kg body weight) on glycaemic control in C57BL/6 mice with diet-induced obesity and insulin resistance and the db/db mouse model of severe type 2 diabetes.
