Abstract
⺠GLP-1, GLP-2 and glucagon share a common precursor but have divergent functions. ⺠A complex inter-dependent relationship exists between GLP-1 secretion, postprandial glycemia and gastric emptying. ⺠GLP-1 agonists retard gastric emptying. ⺠GLP-1 could be exploited therapeutically for its extra-intestinal effects. ⺠GLP-2 shows promise as an intestinotropic agent.
