🧬 YOUR BODY ALREADY MAKES GLP-1
GLP-1 didn’t begin in a pharmaceutical laboratory.
It’s a hormone your body naturally produces, particularly from intestinal L-cells after eating.
GLP-1 signaling participates in glucose-dependent insulin secretion, glucagon regulation, gastrointestinal signaling, and communication with appetite-related pathways.
So when scientists study GLP-1 receptor agonists, they’re studying a signaling system that biology already gave us.
Scientists didn’t invent GLP-1 signaling — they learned from a system the body already uses.
That’s a pretty cool place to start. 🧬
