The common link is that GLP-1s activate receptors that then work on driving down metabolic risk factors through the following mechanisms: Enhancing glucose dependent insulin secretion Slowing gastric emptying and decreasing appetite Reducing postprandial glucagon and food intake UpToDate 2 : (1) ingestion of food results in (2) release of gastrointestinal peptides (GLP-1 and GIP: glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide, gastric inhibitory peptide) and (3) pancreatic beta cell hormones (insulin and amylin)
