GLP-1R agonism produces: Glucose-dependent insulin secretion (insulin released only when glucose is elevated) Suppression of glucagon secretion Delayed gastric emptying (contributing to satiety) Reduced appetite via central nervous system signalling in hypothalamic nuclei Potential cardiovascular protection (observed in clinical trials of GLP-1 agonist drugs) This receptor is the foundation of the entire GLP drug class, from exenatide to semaglutide
Since IGF-1 is similar to insulin in terms of molecular structure and even function, its presence in the body can alter how the body reacts to insulin responsible for regulating blood glucose levels
