As an incretin hormone, GLP-1 boosts insulin release and reduces glucagon after meals. It signals through GLP-1 receptors across various organs, impacting glucose metabolism, appetite, and inflammation. GLP-1 protects vascular tissue, improves liver function in NASH, and supports the gut in IBD by modulating cytokine activity. Its analogs also show neuroprotective effects in models of Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease. Combined GLP-1/GIP receptor agonists like tirzepatide enhance fat metabolism and glycemic regulation more effectively than GLP-1 alone.
