        | Glucagon-Like Peptide 1(GLP-1) and glucosedependent
 insulinotopic
 peptide (GIP) are secreted
 by cells in the intestinal
 mucosa to:
 • These effects combine to
 limit PPG
 • Rapidly inactivated by
 dipeptidyl-peptidase 4
 (DPP4)
 – GLP-1 half life <10
 – Suppresses glucagon
 secretion (GLP-1)
 – Increase insulin secretion
 (GLP-1 and GIP)
 – Slows gastric emptying
 and reduces food intake by
 increasing satiety (GLP-1)
