Unlocking the multifaceted roles of GLP-1: Physiological functions and therapeutic potential

Open access

Abstract

Glucagon (GCG) like peptide 1 (GLP-1) has emerged as a powerful player in regulating metabolism and a promising therapeutic target for various chronic diseases. This review delves into the physiological roles of GLP-1, exploring its impact on glucose homeostasis, insulin secretion, and satiety. We examine the compelling evidence supporting GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) in managing type 2 diabetes (T2D), obesity, and other diseases. The intricate molecular mechanisms underlying GLP-1RAs are explored, including their interactions with pathways like extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2), activated protein kinase (AMPK), cyclic adenine monophosphate (cAMP), mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), and protein kinase C (PKC). Expanding our understanding, the review investigates the potential role of GLP-1 in cancers. Also, microribonucleic acid (RNA) (miRNAs), critical regulators of gene expression, are introduced as potential modulators of GLP-1 signaling. We delve into the link between miRNAs and T2D obesity and explore specific miRNA examples influencing GLP-1R function. Finally, the review explores the rationale for seeking alternatives to GLP-1RAs and highlights natural products with promising GLP-1 modulatory effects.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
