How rGLP-1 works
These rGLP-1 mimetics bind to rGLP-1 receptors with similar affinity and produce biological actions identical to those of native rGLP-1 which controls blood glucose via multiple actions including stimulation of insulin secretion and inhibition of both glucagon secretion and gastric emptying. Preclinical data suggest that rGLP-1 analogs engage signaling pathways in the islet beta-cell that lead to stimulation of beta-cell replication and inhibition of beta-cell apoptosis.
