The role of gut hormones in energy homeostasis

2013-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Obesity is an increasing worldwide problem and yet current pharmaceutical treatments only produce modest weight loss which is rarely sustained. Glucagon and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) are members of the secretin family of peptide hormones. Both hormones are products of the preproglucagon gene, and are produced in the pancreas and gut respectively. GLP-1 is an incretin hormone that enhances glucose-mediated in...
