Woman in traditional Dutch costume in Scheveningen, Netherlands, 1966. The dark shawl in this black-and-white image (black I assume) is an adaptation of the dress worn during mourning.
Summer of 1966 – at the age of 14– I took this candid paparazzi style close-up photo with the all-manual Voigtländer Vito camera below from the beach at the North Sea , looking up at daily life of these women wearing traditional Dutch costumes on the Boulevard in Scheveningen, Netherlands.
Film I made of that day :

Close encounter – I was attacked later that day , when getting too close while taking such a portrait photo, but escaped falling backwards.

GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) is now well-known from the anti-diabetic drugs that mimic the action of this natural hormone GLP-1, to treat type 2 diabetes and obesity. They work by stimulating insulin release, reducing glucagon secretion, slowing stomach emptying, and suppressing appetite, which leads to lower blood sugar and weight loss.
May 1992 we were the first to show direct potentiation of the insulin response from isolated islets by a (near-)physiological dose of the gut hormone GLP-1 during perifusion (in vitro) of canine islets at 7.5-10 mM glucose levels (1,2).
Jan 1994 we next showed this incretin effect of GLP-1 also after islet transplantation (in vivo, in dogs) in this poster (3) and abstract (4) presented at the 13th Workshop of the AIDSPIT (aka AIDPIT) Study Group , Igls, Austria, January 23–25, 1994.
Background of the work was posted earlier this year (5) and the work was published Nov 1994 in my PhD thesis Pancreatic islet transplantation , available online (6).
