As they have same origin, these hormones share some similarities, and hence the name ”glucagon-like”. The major sources of GLP-1 are the L-cells in the lining of small intestine.

Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is a gut peptide that, together with its receptor, GLP-1R, is expressed in the brain. Here we show that intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) GLP-1 and [Ser (2)]exendin ...
