The Physiology of Glucagon-like Peptide 1
Physiological Reviews, 2007Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) is a 30-amino acid peptide hormone produced in the intestinal epithelial endocrine L-cells by differential processing of proglucagon, the gene which is expressed in these cells. The current knowledge regarding regulation of proglucagon gene expression in the gut and in the brain and mechanisms responsible for the ...

Glucagon-like peptide-1 and glucagon-like peptide-2
Best Practice & Research Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2004The glucagon-like peptides (glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2)) are released from enteroendocrine cells in response to nutrient ingestion. GLP-1 enhances glucose-stimulated insulin secretion and inhibits glucagon secretion, gastric emptying and feeding. GLP-1 also has proliferative, neogenic and antiapoptotic effects on

Metabolic Messengers: glucagon-like peptide 1
Nature Metabolism, 2021Glucagon like peptide-1 (GLP-1), a peptide hormone from the intestinal tract, plays a central role in the coordination of postprandial glucose homeostasis through actions on insulin secretion, food intake and gut motility. GLP-1 forms the basis for a variety of current drugs for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity, as well as new agents ...

Glucagon Like Peptide-1 and Atherosclerosis
Cardiovascular & Hematological Agents in Medicinal Chemistry, 2012Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus are at high risk for developing cardiovascular diseases. Traditional medicines for type 2 diabetes, such as sulfonylureas, pioglitazone, and insulin have glucose lowering effects; however, they also increase the frequency of hypoglycemia and/or body weight and thus may cancel out the benefits of glucose lowering ...

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor
Current BiologyMichael Krashes discusses glucagon-like peptide-1 receptors, their physiological role in glucose metabolism and the mode of action of their agonists that are used to treat obesity and were later shown to promote weight loss.

Glucagon-like Peptide-1 and Islet Lipolysis
Hormone and Metabolic Research, 2004A role for glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) has been suggested in stimulating beta-cell lipolysis via elevation of cAMP and activation of protein kinase A, which in turn may activate hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL), thereby contributing to fatty acid generation (FFA) from intracellular triglyceride stores.

Glucagon-Like Peptide 1—A Cardiologic Dimension
Trends in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2010Recent experimental data suggest glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) and its analogs to have direct effects on the cardiovascular system, in addition to their classic glucoregulatory actions. These direct effects may be cardioprotective, contractility augmenting, and vasorelaxant.

The discovery of glucagon-like peptide 1
Regulatory Peptides, 2005The discovery of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) began more than two decades ago with the observations that anglerfish islet proglucagon messenger RNAs (mRNAs) contained coding sequences for two glucagon-related peptides arranged in tandem. Subsequent analyses revealed that mammalian proglucagon mRNAs encoded a precursor containing the sequence of ...
