胰高血糖素样肽-1及其类似物的降糖机制

Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is an insulin secretagogue that secreted by intestinal L-cells. After binding with its receptor, GLP-1 stimulates glucose-dependent insulin secretion, β-cell prolifera-tion and differentiation as well as inhibits its apeptosis, decelerates gastric emptying, improves insulin sensi-tivity of periphery tissue. The long-acting GLP-1 analogues decrease hyperglycemia safely without weight gain and hypoglycemia and protect the function of pancreatic islet beta-cell. Using GLP-1 analogues at early stages of the disease,impaired beta-cell function and possibly beta-cell mass appear to be reversible. These agents axe, therefore, considered new therapeutic agents for the treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes.
