Abstract
The incretin hormones glucagon like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) have recently received much attention for their roles in type 2 diabetes therapy. GLP-1 stimulated insulin secretion in a glucose-dependent manner and is secreted by intestinal L cells. It also regulates blood glucose concentration, stomach motility, appetite, and body weight. These actions are mediated through G-protein-coupled receptors highly expressed on pancreatic beta cells and also exert indirect metabolic actions. Activation of GLP-1 receptors also produces nonglycemic effects in various tissues. The pleiotropic effects of GLP-1 have been recently reported. The mechanisms identified in preclinical studies have potential translational relevance for the treatment of disease. Here, the nonglycemic effects of GLP-1, especially those on the liver, central nervous system, and bone, were reviewed.
Key Words: Glucagon-like peptide 1, Incretins, Incretin/therapeutic use
