The Role of GLP-1 in Glucose Metabolism
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is a hormone produced in the intestine and plays a crucial role in glucose metabolism and insulin release. It promotes insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells, inhibits glucagon release (which raises blood sugar), and slows gastric emptying, contributing to feelings of fullness. GLP-1 has been shown to improve glucose metabolism and is being investigated as a potential therapeutic agent for treating type 2 diabetes and obesity.The Benefits of GLP-1 Agonists in Weight Loss and Glucose Control
