GLP-1 (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1) is a hormone that plays a crucial role in regulating blood sugar levels and appetite.

Additionally, GLP-1 slows down the emptying of the stomach, leading to increased feelings of fullness and reduced food intake. In the context of weight management, GLP-1-based medications are used to help individuals with obesity or type 2 diabetes control their weight.
