Application

GLP-1 (Preproglucagon 72-107 amide) (GLP-1 human) has been used to study its effect on vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGFA)-mediated endothelium-dependent signaling and vasodilation.
Glycogen-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is an amino acid peptide derived from proglucogon. GLP-1 is involved in the regulation of the glycemic index via its affect on glucagon and insulin levels. GLP-1 may be used to study its interaction with its receptor, the GLP-1 receptor.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Glycogen-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is an insulinotropic hormone, which takes part in increasing insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity. It also inhibits the secretion of glycogen and reduces fasting glucose levels.

Dysfunction of the gut-brain axis is one of the potential contributors to the pathophysiology of obesity and is therefore a potential target for treatment. Vagal afferents innervating the gut play an important role in controlling energy homeostasis. There is an

We investigated the acute effects of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), GLP-1(1-36), and GLP-1(7-36) on vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGFA)-induced endothelium-dependent signaling and vasodilation. Our hypothesis was that GLP-1 released from intestinal l-cells modulates processes related to PLCγ activation, Src, and endothelial
