The document discusses the entero-insular axis, which refers to the gut factors that contribute to enhanced insulin secretion after eating a meal. It has neural, endocrine, and metabolic components. The neural component accounts for 20% of the insulin response via cholinergic innervation, while hormonal factors account for 30%. Key hormones involved are glucagon-like peptide-1 and glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide, which are secreted by the gut in response to food intake and potentiate insulin secretion. Impairment of the entero-insular axis is involved in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes due to reduced incretin effect. New diabetes therapies target this axis via dipeptidyl peptidase-4

This document summarizes landmark trials in the treatment of lupus nephritis over 50 years. Early trials in the 1960s established the benefit of high-dose steroids over low-dose. The 1986 NIH trial showed intravenous cyclophosphamide reduced end-stage renal failure compared to oral steroids alone. Subsequent trials tested maintenance therapies like mycophenolate mofetil versus azathioprine, and induction therapies like belimumab and voclosporin. Recent trials explored rituximab and found benefits without oral steroids. While treatment has improved over decades of research, heterogeneity remains a challenge in lupus nephritis clinical trials.
Challenges in Diagnosis and Management of Diabetic Kidney Disease - Dr. GawadNephroTube - Dr.Gawad
This document discusses challenges in diagnosing and managing diabetic kidney disease. It emphasizes that renal problems in diabetic patients are not always due to diabetic nephropathy and may be caused by other conditions. A thorough evaluation is needed to determine the underlying cause, including considering patient history, type of diabetes, presence of retinopathy, characteristics of proteinuria and hematuria, rate of renal impairment, hypertension, and potential contributing factors. A renal biopsy may be warranted if the presentation is atypical or suggests an alternative diagnosis.

Update on diabetes treatment strategies 2017Indhu Reddy
This document discusses strategies for treating type 2 diabetes, including lifestyle changes and medication options. It provides guidelines on initiating treatment at diagnosis, individualizing treatment based on patient characteristics, and adjusting therapy over time to achieve glycemic targets. Intensive control is recommended to reduce microvascular and macrovascular complications, though treatment needs to be tailored based on each patient's situation to minimize risks like hypoglycemia. Both oral medications and insulin therapy are covered, along with considerations for renal function.
The document discusses gastrointestinal hormones GLP-1 and GIP that enhance food-induced insulin secretion. GLP-1 is the most important incretin hormone, secreted by L cells in the ileum and colon from proglucagon. It stimulates insulin release, improves hepatic insulin resistance, increases beta cell mass, and stimulates beta cell production. GIP is called glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide and is released from K cells in the duodenum and proximal jejunum in response to food.
This document discusses the challenges of treating diabetes in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). It notes that diabetes is a leading cause of CKD and end-stage renal disease. While good glycemic control can prevent CKD progression, it is difficult to achieve in CKD patients due to changes in insulin metabolism and increased risk of hypoglycemia. The document reviews various classes of anti-diabetic medications and their safety in different stages of CKD. It concludes that treatment options are limited for patients with more advanced CKD and emphasizes individualizing therapy based on renal function.
This document summarizes a clinical trial that compared the uric acid lowering efficacy and safety of febuxostat to allopurinol in treating hyperuricemia in gout patients. The trial found that febuxostat 80mg daily was more effective at lowering uric acid levels than either febuxostat 40mg or allopurinol 300/200mg, especially in patients with mild to moderate kidney impairment. Febuxostat 40mg and allopurinol 300/200mg showed equivalent uric acid lowering efficacy. The safety profiles of febuxostat and allopurinol were found to be comparable.

This document lists several popular tourist destinations around the world including Tibet, Halong Bay in Vietnam, Hangzhou in China, Kathmandu in Nepal, Elian Donan castle in Scotland, and Laos, each on their own line with various punctuation.
This document discusses the entero-insular axis, which refers to the gut factors that contribute to enhanced insulin secretion after eating a meal. It has neural, endocrine, and metabolic components. Neural factors like cholinergic innervation account for 20% of the insulin response, while hormonal factors like GLP-1 and GIP account for 30%. These hormones are secreted from the gut in response to food ingestion and stimulate insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells in a glucose-dependent manner. They also inhibit glucagon secretion and slow gastric emptying. The document further discusses the roles of various nutrients like carbohydrates, proteins, and fatty acids in stimulating insulin secretion and their implications for diabetes treatment and management.
This document summarizes information about diabetes, including its definition, classification, effects of insulin, and treatments. It begins with an overview of diabetes, defining it as a group of metabolic disorders involving hyperglycemia. It then discusses the two main types of diabetes - type 1 characterized by insulin deficiency and type 2 characterized by insulin resistance - and their causes. Subsequent sections provide details on insulin biosynthesis and secretion, its counter-regulation, effects in different tissues, and role in glucose homeostasis. The document concludes by outlining several classes of medications used to treat diabetes, including sulfonylureas, thiazolidinediones, and newer drugs that target incretin hormones.
The document discusses the role of incretins in the management of diabetes. It describes how incretins like GLP-1 and GIP are released after eating to stimulate insulin production and suppress glucagon levels. However, in type 2 diabetes patients, incretin levels and effects are reduced. DPP-4 inhibitors are discussed as a treatment approach that blocks the breakdown of incretins, thereby increasing their levels and effects. Studies show that DPP-4 inhibitors like sitagliptin prolong the levels and actions of incretins, lowering glucose levels and being weight neutral. They represent a new class of diabetes drugs that mimic the normal incretin response.
This study identified mutations in two pancreatic transcription factor genes, NKX2-2 and MNX1, as causes of neonatal diabetes in humans. The researchers sequenced known pancreatic transcription factor genes in patients with neonatal diabetes from consanguineous families. They discovered homozygous mutations in NKX2-2 in three patients and MNX1 in two patients. The mutations and phenotypes were consistent with mouse models, confirming the importance of these genes in human pancreatic development and neonatal diabetes pathogenesis. This discovery validates using mouse studies to identify human disease genes.
Diabetes is caused by the body's inability to produce or effectively use insulin. Insulin is a hormone produced in the pancreas that helps glucose enter cells to produce energy. In diabetes, beta cells in the pancreas do not produce enough insulin or cells do not respond properly to insulin, causing glucose to build up in the bloodstream instead of being used for energy. The main types of diabetes are type 1, an autoimmune disease where the immune system destroys beta cells, and type 2 where the body can no longer produce sufficient insulin to regulate blood glucose levels. Genetic and environmental factors both contribute to diabetes risk.
incretin based therapy of type 2 diabetes mellitus 1SoM
This document discusses the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes and new therapies based on incretin hormones. It describes how both insulin resistance and relative insulin deficiency contribute to diabetes due to impaired beta cell function. Incretin hormones like GLP-1 enhance insulin secretion and reduce glucagon levels, but are broken down quickly. New therapies include incretin mimetics like exenatide that are resistant to breakdown and have the added benefit of weight loss.

Diabetes mellitus (DM):- It is a metabolicdisorder characterized by hyperglycaemia, (fasting plasma glucose ≥ 126 mg/dl and/or ≥ 200 mg/dl 2 hours after 75 g oral glucose),glycosuria, hyperlipidaemia, negative nitrogen balance and sometimes ketonaemia.
Diabetes mellitus, one of the major public health problems worldwide, is a metabolic disorder of multiple etiologies distinguished by a failure of glucose homeostasis with disturbances of carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism as a result of defects in insulin secretion and/or insulin action.
According to International Diabetes Federation (IDF) report, elevated blood glucose is the third uppermost risk factor for premature mortality, following high blood pressure and tobacco use globally
Cardiovascular diseases, neuropathy, nephropathy, and retinopathy are among the major risks that are associated with diabetes.These chronic complications may lead to hardening and narrowing of arteries (atherosclerosis) that could advance to stroke, coronary heart disease, and other blood vessel diseases, nerve damage, kidney failure, and blindness with time
Two major types of diabetes mellitus are
1. Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) / juvenile onset diabetes mellitus

Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) / juvenile onset diabetes mellitus
There is β cell destruction in pancreatic islets; majority of cases are autoimmune (type 1A) antibodies that destroy β cells are detectable in blood, but some are idiopathic (type 1B)-no βcell antibody is found.
2.Noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) / maturity onset diabetes mellitus
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is the most prevalent metabolic disease worldwide.
There is no loss or moderate reduction in β cell mass: insulin in circulation is low. normal or even high. no anti-β -cell antibody is demonstrable: has a high degree of genetic predisposition: generally has a late onset (past middle age). Over 90% cases of diabetes are type 2 DM

Reduced sensitivity of peripheral tissues to insulin: reduction in number of insulin receptors, “down regulation” of insulin receptors.
Insulin history:
Insulin was discovered in 1921 by Banting and Best who demonstrated the hypoglycaemic action of an extract of pancreas prepared after degeneration of the exocrine part due to ligation of pancreatic duct.
It was first obtained in pure crystalline form in 1926 and the chemical structure was fully worked out in 1956 by Sanger.
Insulin is a two chain polypeptide having 51 amino acids and MW about 6000.
The A-chain has 21 while B-chain has 30 amino acids.
Insulin is synthesized in the β cells of pancreatic islets as a single chain peptide Preproinsulin (110 AA) from which
Insulin is protein hormone with 51 amino acids. It is very important hormone in the human body that regulates blood sugar level. Excess and deficiency of insulin leads to many long lasting abnormalities. Diabetes is one of biggest problem of this era. According to latest survey Pakistan rank first in the Diabetes Mellitus. Insulin also play many other functions other than regulating blood sugar. It affects on the whole physiology of the body.

This document reviews the effects of exenatide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, on weight loss. It summarizes findings from clinical trials that reported consistent weight loss associated with exenatide treatment compared to placebo. Exenatide is thought to cause weight loss by decreasing energy intake through effects on satiety and by possibly increasing energy expenditure, though evidence for each mechanism is inconsistent. Further research is needed to better understand the mechanisms through which exenatide induces weight loss.

Incretin based therapy of type 2 diabetes mellitus 1Pk Doctors
Insulin resistance and relative insulin deficiency are key factors in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes. Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) deficiency also contributes by reducing insulin secretion and increasing glucagon levels and postprandial glucose levels. Incretin mimetics and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors offer new treatment approaches. Exenatide is an incretin mimetic administered via injection twice daily that improves glycemic control and causes weight loss. DPP-4 inhibitors like sitagliptin and vildagliptin raise GLP-1 levels, appear weight neutral, and have low adverse reaction rates when used alone or in
Incretin Based Therapy Of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus 1Pk Doctors
This document discusses the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes and incretin-based therapies. It describes how insulin resistance and beta cell dysfunction lead to diabetes, and the role of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) in blood sugar control. Two approaches are discussed - incretin mimetics like exenatide that mimic GLP-1, and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors that prevent GLP-1 breakdown. Clinical trials showed exenatide improved glycemic control and caused weight loss, though nausea was a side effect. DPP-4 inhibitors like sitagliptin are oral alternatives that are weight neutral with few side effects
This document provides an overview of diabetes mellitus and its management. It begins with objectives for nursing students to learn about endocrine disorders and diabetes mellitus. It then discusses the anatomy and functions of the pancreas, types of diabetes, pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes, clinical manifestations, diagnostic criteria, assessments, management including nutrition therapy, exercise, monitoring, pharmacologic therapy and patient education. It also covers diabetes complications and classes of antidiabetic medications.
This document provides an overview of diabetes pharmacology and anesthesia management. It begins by describing glucose regulation and the pathophysiology of diabetes. It then discusses the various medications used to treat diabetes, including insulin formulations and non-insulin agents. The document explains how these medications impact anesthesia care and strategies for maintaining glycemic control in surgical patients with diabetes. The objectives are to describe glucose physiology, identify diabetes medications and their effects, and discuss perioperative glycemic management strategies.
Before the discovery of insulin in 1921, people with type 1 diabetes died within weeks to years of disease onset. In the early 1900s, attempts were made to treat diabetes with pancreatic extracts with temporary success. In 1921-1922, Banting, Best, Macleod, and Collip discovered insulin by extracting it from pancreatic islets, and tested it successfully on the first patient Leonard Thompson. Insulin production began commercially in 1922 and significantly increased life expectancy for people with diabetes from average ages of 11-34 years before insulin to 45-65 years by the 1940s.
Diabetes is a multifactorial disease leading to several complications, and therefore demands a multiple therapeutic approach. Patients of diabetes either do not make enough insulin or their cells do not respond to insulin. In case of total lack of insulin, patients are given insulin injections. Whereas in case of those where cells do not respond to insulin many different drugs are developed taking into consideration possible disturbances in carbohydrate-metabolism. For example, to manage post-prandial hyper-glycaemia at digestive level, glucosidase inhibitors such as acarbose, miglitol and voglibose are used. These inhibit degradation of carbohydrates there by reducing the glucose absorption by the cells. To enhance glucose uptake by peripheral cells biguanide such as metformin is used. Sulphonylureas, like glibenclamide, is insulinotropic and work as secretogogue for pancreatic cells. Although several therapies are in use for treatment, there are certain limitations due to high cost and side effects such as development of hypoglycemia, weight gain, gastrointestinal disturbances, liver toxicity etc. Based on recent advances and involvement of oxidative stress in complicating diabetes mellitus, efforts are on to find suitable antidiabetic and antioxidant therapy.
Medicinal plants are being looked upon once again for the treatment of diabetes. Many conventional drugs have been derived from prototypic molecules in medicinal plants. Metformin exemplifies an efficacious oral glucose-lowering agent. To date, over 400 traditional plant treatments for diabetes have been reported, although only a small number of these have received scientific and medical evaluation to assess their efficacy. The hypoglycemic effect of some herbal extracts has been confirmed in human and animal models of type 2 diabetes. The World Health Organization Expert Committee on diabetes has recommended that traditional medicinal herbs be further investigated.

Definition of weight loss:
Clinically important weight loss is defined as the loss of 10 pounds (4.5 kg) or >5% of one’s body weight over a period of 6–12 months.
Weight loss can be divided into 2 categories: involuntary or voluntary.
-1 Involuntary weight loss is a manifestation of cachexia associated with many disease states.
2- Voluntary weight loss, in the form of healthy dieting, is common among men and women. However, signifcant voluntary weight loss can herald a psychiatric illness such as an eating disorder, particularly among women.
K E Y T E R M S:
Anorexia Loss of the desire to eat.
Anorexia nervosa4 Intense fear of gaining weight and refusal to maintain weight at or above a minimally appropriate weight for height and age.
Bulimia nervosa4 Recurrent episodes of binge eating followed by recurrent compensatory behavior to prevent weight gain (ie, laxative abuse and self-induced vomiting).
Cachexia General muscle and/or fat wasting with malnutrition usually associated with chronic disease.
Involuntary weight loss The unintended loss of weight; sometimes not reported by the patient and only noted upon chart review.
Malnutrition Poor nutrition due to inadequate or unbalanced intake of nutrients or their impaired utilization.
Voluntary weight loss The conscious effort to lose weight; frequently not a complaint among those with eating disorders.
Prospects of incretin mimetics in therapeuticsDr Sukanta sen
Comparative trials show that there are important differences between
and among the GLP-1 receptor agonists and DPP-4 inhibitors with
respect to glycemic lowering, weight effects, and effects on systolic
blood pressure and the lipid profile.
•Nausea, diarrhea, headaches, and dizziness are common with the
available GLP-1 receptor agonists.
•Upper respiratory tract infections, nasopharyngitis, and headaches
are common with the DPP-4 inhibitors.
•Ongoing safety evaluations should provide a clear picture regarding
long-term safety.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.

1. Entero Insular Axis
Dr. Sherif Wagih Mansour
Professor Of Physiology

Updates in Diabetes & Endocrinology
8-9.4.2015
2. • The term ‘Entero-insular Axis’ was coined by Unger &
Eisentraut (1969) to include all those gut factors
which contribute to enhanced insulin secretion
following ingestion of a meal.
• It is now apparent that the Entero-insular Axis
possesses an important Neural, an Endocrine, and
Metabolic component.
• Berthoud, (1984) estimated that Neurally-mediated
secretion accounted for 20%, and Hormonal factors
30%, of the insulin response to a liquid test meal.
Nauck M et al. J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 1986;63:492-498.
4. • Cholinergic innervation is responsible for enhancing
the early insulin response to a meal, the so-called
‘Cephalic phase’ of insulin release, which is
independent of absorption of nutrients. Cholinergic
mechanisms are also involved in the enhanced
insulin secretion in obesity, the regulation of basal
and post-prandial insulin secretion (Flatt & Bailey,
1984; Ahren et al. 1986).
• The pancreas is also innervated by Peptidergic
neurones, many of which contain ‘gut peptides’ that
function as neurotransmitters. Vasoactive intestinal
peptide (VIP) and cholecystokinin (CCK)-containing
neurones have been implicated in the regulation of
insulin secretion.
I. Neural component of Entero-Insular Axis
5. II. Hormonal component of Entero-Insular Axis
• Many peptides isolated from intestinal and nervous
tissue some, as Growth-hormone-releasing factor
(GHRF), Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) and
Gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP) share with Gastric
inhibitory polypeptide (GIP) a considerable structural
similarity and an ability to stimulate insulin
secretion.
• The neuropeptide, Galanin, shares with Neurotensin
(Which is found in endocrine cells of the small
intestine, where it leads to secretion and smooth
muscle contraction) and Somatostatin the ability to
suppress insulin release under certain conditions.
6. III. Nutrients component of ENTERO-INSULAR AXIS
• The Entero-insular Axis in humans appears to begin
to function within the first few weeks of life and there
is evidence that dietary manipulation can affect
insulin secretion from the earliest stages of
development.
• Amongst the nutrients, Carbohydrate is undoubtedly
the major stimulant of insulin secretion. The so-called
‘Complex carbohydrates ’ are in general less
hyperglycaemic and stimulatory of insulin secretion
than their constituent Mono-saccharides.
7. • Several Amino acids stimulate insulin secretion by
direct action on the B-cells by increasing intracellular
Ca2+ in order to trigger exocytosis (Henquin, 1987).
Leucine, arginine and lysine are considered to be the
most potent stimulators, but alanine, glycine,
tryptophan, aspartate, isoleucine, asparagine, valine
and phenylalanine have also been reported to exert
stimulatory effects.
• Certain Free fatty acids and ketone bodies can exert
modest stimulatory effects on B-cell function in the
presence of glucose.
8. Incretins
• Gut-derived hormones, secreted in response to nutrient ingestion,
that potentiate insulin secretion from islet Β cells in a glucose-
dependent fashion, and lower glucagon secretion from islet Α cells
• Two predominant Incretins:
1. Glucagon-like peptide –1 (GLP-1) is synthesized in and secreted
from enteroendocrine L - cells found throughout the small and large
intestine, GLP-1 is also produced in the CNS, predominantly in the
brainstem, from where it is transported throughout the brain to elicit
metabolic, cardiovascular, and neuroprotective actions.
2. Glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP) (also known as
gastric inhibitory peptide) is synthesized in and secreted from
enteroendocrine K cells located primarily in the duodenum and
proximal jejunum, and CNS production of GIP has also been
described.
• Incretin effect is impaired in type 2 diabetes

Incretins are gut-derived hormones, which are secreted in response to nutrient ingestion, that potentiate insulin secretion from islet cells in a glucose-dependent fashion and lower glucagon secretion from islet cells. Two predominant incretins are glucagon-like peptide–1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP) (also known as gastric inhibitory peptide). GLP-1 deficiency impairs the incretin effect in type 2 diabetes.

GLP-1 and GIP Are Incretin Hormones
GLP-1 and GIP are the currently identified incretin hormones.
An incretin is a hormone with the following characteristics1:
It is released from the intestine in response to ingestion of food, particularly glucose.
The circulating concentration of the hormone must be sufficiently high to stimulate the release of insulin.
The release of insulin in response to physiological levels of the hormone occurs only when glucose levels are elevated (glucose-dependent).
GIP and GLP-1 are hormones that fulfill these 3 characteristics, qualifying them as incretins.1
In the fasting state, GIP and GLP-1 circulate at very low levels. Their levels rapidly increase after food ingestion and play a role in the release of insulin.2,3
GLP-1 stimulates insulin response from beta cells in a glucose-dependent manner and suppresses glucagon secretion from alpha cells in a glucose-dependent manner. GIP also potentiates insulin release from beta cells in a glucose-dependent manner.4 Other effects of GLP-1 and GIP are summarized on the slide.
Physiological Actions of GLP-1 and GIP
GLP-1 and GIP exert a number of physiological actions that may benefit patients with diabetes.
Role of Incretins in Glucose Homeostasis
This slide summarizes the effect of incretins in glucose regulation. Although glucagon-like peptide–1 (GLP-1) is a native hormone released by intestinal L cells in response to ingested food, its limitations in managing the progressively challenging glucose homeostasis of type 2 diabetes are related to its rapid and extensive inactivation. Deacon and colleagues found that GLP-1 was quickly cleaved at its N-terminus by dipeptidyl peptidase–4 (DPP-4), an enzyme that circulates freely in plasma and exists at the surface of endothelial cells. Under normal conditions, GLP-1 has a half-life of only 1 to 2 minutes. Therefore, to correct this system, one needs to either administer GLP-1 in a continuous manner or inhibit the DPP-4 enzyme.

Circulating GLP-1 Has Many Beneficial Effects
In addition to its beneficial effects on insulin secretion and therefore glucose concentration, glucagon-like peptide–1 (GLP-1) inhibits glucagon release, gastric emptying, and food intake, and increases pancreatic -cell mass and proliferation.

DISCUSSION POINTS:
Upon ingestion of meals containing carbohydrates and fats, GLP-1 is secreted from the L-cells in the intestine. This secretion of GLP-1 sets off a collection of actions which work in concert to help regulate glucose homeostasis:
Glucose dependent enhancement of insulin secretion
Suppression of inappropriately high glucagon secretion
Slowing of gastric emptying
Exogenous GLP-1 reduced food intake, and improved insulin sensitivity, in both animal studies and a 6-week study in patients with type 2 diabetes.
In animal studies, exogenous GLP-1 increased beta-cell mass through beta-cell proliferation and neogenesis.

Incretin-Based Therapies Approved or in Late-Stage Development
Dipeptidyl peptidase–4 inhibitors are incretin enhancers, and include: sitagliptin, saxagliptin, linagliptin, vildagliptin, and alogliptin.
Glucagon-like peptide–1 agonists are incretin mimetics, and include: exenatide, liraglutide, exenatide LAR, albiglutide, and taspoglutide.
Metabolism of Glucagon-Like Peptide–1 and Glucose-Dependent Insulinotropic Peptide
This schematic describes the metabolism of glucagon-like peptide–1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP).
Following release of the peptides into the circulation, the ubiquitous but specific serine protease, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4), cleaves the N-terminal two amino acids from active GIP and GLP-1. This process is rapid and the plasma half-lives of GLP-1 and GIP are 1 and 7 minutes, respectively. The degradation products, GLP-1 [9-36] amide and GIP [3-42], do not stimulate insulin secretion.
