  • The gut-derived incretin hormone GLP-1 has potent and glucose-dependent insulinotropic and
glucagonostatic effects
  • > GLP-1RA treatment improves glycaemic control without risk of hypoglycaemia
  • GLP-1Rs are found in several areas of the brain; especially in appetite-regulating centres
  • > GLP-1RA treatment reduces body weight and is associated with GI side effects (e.g. nausea)
  • GLP-1 increases natriuresis during ECFV expansion and NaCl loading (independent of net renal
haemodynamics and circulating concentrations of renin, aldosterone and natriuretic peptides (proANP, ANP and BNP); perhaps via suppression of ANG II
  • > GLP-1RA treatment reduces systolic blood pressure and reduces risk of macroalbuminuria
  • GLP-1R activation in the GI tract reduces GI motility
  • > GLP-1RA treatment is associated with small reductions in circulating lipids
  • In mouse models of atherosclerosis, GLP-1RA treatment reduces atherosclerotic plaque development
