Overview
 GLP-1 analog’s role in the body

GLP-1 Analogs
 Synthetic and structurally-altered version of naturally
produced hormone

Mimic physiological actions of GLP-1
 Naturally produced GLP-1 are rapidly inactivated by
(dipeptidyl-peptidase 4) DPP-4 enzyme

Half life is 1-2 minutes
 GLP-1 analogs are resistant to inactivation by DPP-4
enzyme and stay longer in the body
 Work only in presence of glucose

Mechanisms of Action
 Glucose-dependent insulin





production
Stimulates beta-cells and
causes insulin secretion
Inhibits glucagon secretion
Delays gastric emptying
Induces satiety and
decreases food intake
Improves beta-cell function
and proliferation (animal
studies)
