GLP-1 (Glucagon-like peptide-1)

GLP-1 (Glucagon-like peptide-1) is a hormone that is produced in the gut in response to eating. It plays a significant role in blood glucose regulation by stimulating insulin secretion, slowing gastric emptying, and suppressing inappropriate post-meal glucagon release. As a supplement, it is mainly used in the management of type 2 diabetes and obesity.

Category
