Supplementary information

GLP-1 (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1) is a hormone that helps control blood sugar and appetite after eating. It is released from intestinal L cells when food enters the digestive system.

After a meal, GLP-1 travels through the blood and acts on the pancreas, where it stimulates insulin release and reduces glucagon secretion. These effects help lower blood glucose levels, especially after eating. GLP-1 also acts on the brain and stomach. In the brain, it reduces hunger and increases the feeling of fullness. In the stomach, it slows down gastric emptying, meaning food leaves the stomach more slowly, which helps control blood sugar and prolong satiety.

GLP-1 normally has a very short half-life because it is quickly broken down by the enzyme DPP-4. Because GLP-1 can improve blood sugar control and reduce appetite, drugs that mimic GLP-1 are widely used to treat type 2 diabetes and obesity.
