Message definition (Glucagon-like peptide-1)
Endogenous GLP-1 is rapidly degraded primarily by [[dipeptidyl peptidase-4]] (DPP-4), as well as neutral endopeptidase 24.11 (NEP 24.11) and [[renal clearance]], resulting in a [[half-life]] of approximately 2 minutes. Consequently, only 10–15 % of GLP-1 reaches circulation intact, leading to fasting plasma levels of only 0–15 pmol/L. To overcome this, [[GLP-1 receptor agonist]]s and [[DPP-4 inhibitors]] have been developed to increase GLP-1 activity. As opposed to common treatment agents such as [[insulin]] and [[sulphonylurea]], GLP-1-based treatment has been associated with [[weight loss]] and a lower risk of [[hypoglycemia]], two important considerations for patients with type 2 diabetes.
