GLP-1, or glucagon-like peptide-1, is a crucial hormone in the regulation of glucose metabolism and appetite. It is produced in the intestines in response to food intake, playing a significant role in the management of blood sugar levels and weight control. As a member of the incretin family, GLP-1 enhances insulin secretion from the pancreas when glucose levels are elevated, thereby promoting a decrease in blood sugar. Additionally, it inhibits glucagon release, which is responsible for increasing glucose production by the liver.
