 Glucagon-like peptide 1 GLP-1 is an incretin hormone which is produced by intestinal L-cells and upon food intake stimulates insulin secretion by pancreatic beta cells. The GLP-1 analogue Exenatide is a currently much used antidiabetic drug to reduce hyperglycemia via this aforementioned mechanism. Beyond its blood glucose-improving effects, Exenatide has also shown to lower body weight and improve dyslipidemia in T2D patients. Elucidation of the underlying mechanism of these beneficial effects is highly relevant.
