GLP-1 boosts insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells in a glucose-dependent manner (meaning it only works when blood glucose is elevated, reducing hypoglycemia risk), suppresses glucagon secretion from pancreatic alpha cells (reducing glucose production by the liver), slows gastric emptying (prolonging satiety and reducing postprandial glucose spikes), and starts GLP-1 receptors in the brain (very the hypothalamus) to reduce appetite and food intake
Supporting Data: Studies show that protein-rich meals can increase GLP-1 secretion by 25-40%, depending on the protein type
