GLP-1’s role in the gastrointestinal (GI) system includes supporting gut integrity and immune health. This hormone, secreted by L-cells in response to nutrient intake, can protect the gut lining and reduce inflammation, which is beneficial for conditions like Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. GLP-1 helps heal the GI tract by reducing cytokine levels and supporting nutrient absorption, which is particularly useful in inflammatory bowel diseases. This gut-protective role, combined with its metabolic benefits, positions GLP-1 as a key hormone in both digestion and broader inflammatory response management in the gut.
