Following wasp attack, individual larvae were bled into 20 L of Drosophila Ringer's solution and haemocytes were allowed to adhere to a glass slide for 30 min at room temperature
In the LEADER trial, liraglutide reduced the risk of new-onset persistent macroalbuminuria, doubling of serum creatinine, and need for renal replacement therapy by 22% compared to placebo [10]
