Term
Incretins
Definition
Glucagon-Like Peptide
1(GLP-1) and glucosedependent
insulinotopic
peptide (GIP) are secreted
by cells in the intestinal
mucosa to:
• These effects combine to
limit PPG
• Rapidly inactivated by
dipeptidyl-peptidase 4
(DPP4)
– GLP-1 half life <10
– Suppresses glucagon
secretion (GLP-1)
– Increase insulin secretion
(GLP-1 and GIP)
– Slows gastric emptying
and reduces food intake by
increasing satiety (GLP-1)
Term
GLP-1 Agonists
Definition
Binds and activates GLP-1 receptors
– Suppress postpradial glucose dependent glucagon secretion
– Increase glucose dependent insulin secretion
– Slows gastric emptying and increases satiety
– Effects are glucose-dependent
A1C reduction of 1%-1.5%
Term
