Glucagon-like peptide-1

Glucagon-like peptide-1 is a natural hormone that stimulates insulin secretion, slows stomach emptying and promotes satiety.

GLP-1 is a natural gut hormone that helps control your blood sugar and appetite. It is the hormone that GLP-1 medications like semaglutide are designed to mimic.

GLP-1 is an incretin hormone secreted by intestinal L-cells in response to nutrient intake. It enhances glucose-dependent insulin secretion, suppresses glucagon release, delays gastric emptying and promotes satiety via central nervous system pathways.
