Abstract

This review examines the regulatory roles of gut-derived and neuronally produced glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) in physiological systems.

  • Peripheral and central sources of GLP-1 may represent separate or interconnected systems.
  • The structure of the brain GLP-1 system could vary, consisting of distinct sections or acting as a unified system.
  • Understanding these relationships may inform the effectiveness of GLP-1 receptor agonists in anti-obesity treatments.
