Let’s talk about GLP-1.
Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 (GLP-1) is a hormone made up of 30 amino acids. It is released by intestinal cells when we eat foods containing glucose or fat.
This hormone helps regulate blood sugar levels by increasing insulin production, decreasing glucagon release, and slowing down how fast the stomach empties.
Beyond controlling blood sugar, GLP-1 also helps with significant weight loss, heart health, and kidney protection.
How Does it Work?
GLP-1 works by activating its receptors found in various parts of the body, including the pancreas, brain, heart, kidneys, stomach, and liver. This widespread distribution of receptors explains why GLP-1 has benefits beyond regulating blood sugar.
Key Benefits
Glucose-dependent insulin secretion: GLP-1 boosts insulin release only when blood sugar levels are high (above about 3.5 mmol/L), which lowers the risk of low blood sugar.
Weight reduction: GLP-1 helps people feel full and slows down stomach emptying, leading to less food intake.
Pancreatic support: GLP-1 encourages the growth of insulin-producing cells in the pancreas and helps protect these cells from dying in animal studies.
Lower Health Risks
Research shows that GLP-1 receptor drugs can lower the risk of serious heart problems, such as heart attacks, strokes, and heart failure. They also protect the kidneys by reducing protein in urine and slowing down kidney decline, helping to prevent kidney failure.
Emerging studies suggest that GLP-1 may also help prevent type 2 diabetes in overweight individuals, reduce liver fat, and improve symptoms in conditions like sleep apnea and knee osteoarthritis.
Additionally, it may have potential benefits for treating brain disorders and substance use issues, as its receptors in certain brain areas may influence reward behavior and addiction. Other benefits include improved cholesterol levels and lower blood pressure. By activating insulin secretion only when blood sugar levels are high, GLP-1 helps prevent low blood sugar.
