Summary
| Description |
English: The digestive system and blood sugar levels are regulated by GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide 1), as the above visual shows. The small intestine releases GLP-1 when food is eaten, which has an impact on multiple organs. It suppresses hunger in the stomach and alerts the brain to feel full, which results in less food being consumed. In addition, GLP-1 causes the pancreas to secrete insulin, which lowers blood sugar. Additionally, GLP-1 prevents the pancreas from secreting glucagon, which normally boosts blood sugar levels. In doing so, glucose homeostasis is preserved. |

This diagram image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with
{{vector version available|new image name}}.
It is recommended to name the SVG file “GLP-1 Signaling in the Body.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter. |
 | This diagram image was uploaded in the JPEG format even though it consists of non-photographic data. This information could be stored more efficiently or accurately in the PNG or SVG format. If possible, please upload a PNG or SVG version of this image without compression artifacts, derived from a non-JPEG source (or with existing artifacts removed). After doing so, please tag the JPEG version with {{Superseded|NewImage.ext}} and remove this tag. This tag should not be applied to photographs or scans. If this image is a diagram or other image suitable for vectorisation, please tag this image with {{Convert to SVG}} instead of {{BadJPEG}}. If not suitable for vectorisation, use {{Convert to PNG}}.
