inulin glp 1 Fiber, Your Gut & A Beautiful Blue Flower GLP-1 | Summary

sitagliptin Sitagliptin Trade Name: Januvia Drug Class: oral hypoglycemics Mechanism of Action: An inhibitor of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4), a protease that degrades the incretin GLP-1 Incretins are hormones released from the GI tract in response to nutrient ingestion Incretins potentiate glucose-stimulated insulin secretion from beta cells in the pancreas As a result of inhibiting DPP-4, increased or prolonged GLP-1 levels are able to potentiate the secretion of insulin by the pancreas The effect produced by DPP-4 inhibitors is dependent on endogenous GLP-1 levels, and produce a modest effect on GLP-1 activity compared to giving GLP-1 receptor agonists (hence DPP-4 inhibitors do not have the same impact to produce weight loss as GLP-1 agonists)

Some patients report that alcohol tastes less appealing or even unpleasant while taking GLP-1 medications

Alcohol may increase the risk of hypoglycemia in patients taking concurrent medications that affect blood glucose, and symptoms of hypoglycemia may be masked

This highlights the effectiveness of Semaglutide GLP-1 in promoting substantial and sustained weight loss
