It originates from the preproglucagon precursor, which undergoes enzymatic processing within intestinal L-cells, ultimately giving rise to GLP-1(1-37) and GLP-1(7-36) amide or GLP-1(7-37) peptide variants
Preclinical models indicate that GLP-1 receptor activation can influence the gut-brain axis as well as the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, with possible implications for stress regulation and energy homeostasis[11]
Furthermore, we did not use operationalized criteria (for example, Diagnostic and Statistical Manual 5th edition) to define the populations of interest because these would not be applicable across animal and human studies, but instead relied on the definitions provided by the individual articles
