The hormone then performs several important functions: stimulates insulin release from the pancreas reduces glucagon (which raises blood sugar) slows stomach emptying signals fullness to the brain helps stabilise blood-glucose levels after meals In simple terms, GLP-1 acts as a metabolic traffic controller , helping the body process food efficiently and preventing large spikes in blood sugar
Interestingly, certain bitter compounds, such as denatonium benzoate (DB), have been found to stimulate the secretion of insulin, glucagon, somatostatin, and GLP-1 from pancreatic islets independently of glucose levels
