You can support natural GLP-1 secretion by: Eating more protein and fiber (e.g., legumes, whole grains, eggs, yogurt) Consuming healthy fats (e.g., avocado, olive oil, nuts) Exercising regularly Avoiding rapid spikes in blood sugar (e.g., reduce processed carbs and sugar) Intermittent fasting or time-restricted eating may also help improve GLP-1 levels and sensitivity Is GLP-1 safe for long-term use
Furthermore, isolated islets provide a closed system that does not incorporate the full range of regulation present in systemic physiology and may not accurately recapitulate additional details such as blood flow rate or free peptide concentrations, highlighting some of the limitations of this model
Glucagon suppression: GLP-1 reduces the release of glucagon, a hormone that tells the liver to release stored glucose
