GLP-1 is secreted by intestinal cells in response to glucose ingestion and acts on the vagus nerve and hypothalamus to induce satiety.

(2019) 43:239-270 Images Figures created with BioRender Glucagon-like peptide 1, or GLP-1, is a hormone secrets by the L cells in the intestine in response to glucose ingestion in proportion to consumed calories. GLP-1 stimulates insulin secretion from the pancreas to prepare the body for high blood glucose levels - this makes it an incretin because it increases insulin. Further, GLP-1 inhibits glucagon. GLP-1 binds to chemoreceptors on the vagus nerve to activate the vagus to send afferent signals to stimulate the nucleus tractus solitarius in the hindbrain to stimulate satiety. GLP slows gastric emptying which keeps the GI tract stretched and distended for longer - this activates the stretch-sensitive mechanoreceptors on the vagus to additionally stimulate the NTS. GLP-1 crosses the blood-brain-barrier of the hypothalamus to activate the POMC neurons in the arcuate nucleus. POMC neuron stimulation causes release of the neurotransmitter alpha MSH which stimulates the paraventricular hypothalamus to induce satiety. GLP-1 also inhibits the orexigenic AgRP neurons. GLP-1 is an anorexigenic, satiety-inducing hormone.
