Episode #63 GLP-1s Part 1
What is GLP-1?
- GLP-1 stands for Glucagon-Like Peptide-1.
- It is an incretin hormone produced in the gut, specifically in the intestines, in response to food intake.
Functions of GLP-1
- Blood Sugar Regulation: GLP-1 stimulates the pancreas to release insulin in response to eating, which helps lower blood sugar levels. It also inhibits the release of glucagon, a hormone that raises blood sugar levels.
- Appetite Control: GLP-1 slows down gastric emptying, meaning it takes longer for food to leave the stomach. This helps increase feelings of fullness and reduce appetite.
- Cardiovascular Benefits: Emerging research suggests GLP-1 may have protective effects on the heart, including improving cardiac function and reducing inflammation.
