Abstract

Scientists were chasing an incretin hormone, and when GLP-1 was finally discovered, we found that it had a pronounced satiety effect, slowed down gastric emptying, and actually reduced postprandial insulin response. These mechanisms are the basis for the highly efficacious GLP-1 analogues that today offer safe and effective treatment in millions of people living with obesity. Moreover, the combined GLP-1 mechanisms of weight loss and delayed carbohydrate absorption may also be the key drivers of remission of type 2 diabetes and reduced cardiovascular events found by GLP-1 analogues.

对发现 GLP-1 作为饱腹感激素的思考：对肥胖症治疗的影响和未来方向。

科学家们一直在追寻一种增量素激素，当 GLP-1 最终被发现时，我们发现它具有明显的饱腹感，能减缓胃排空，实际上还能降低餐后胰岛素反应。这些机制是高效 GLP-1 类似物的基础，如今，这些类似物为数百万肥胖症患者提供了安全有效的治疗。此外，GLP-1 减少体重和延缓碳水化合物吸收的综合机制也可能是 GLP-1 类似物缓解 2 型糖尿病和减少心血管事件的关键因素。
