ABSTRACT
The entero – insular axis is a system in which gut peptides called incretins, enhance insulin synthesis and secretion by the beta cells after binding to specific receptors. Type 1 glucagon like peptide (GLP-1) has been the best characterized incretin and its deficiency in type 2 diabetes patients was demonstrated in several studies. Exenatide was the first GLP-1 mimetic used in patients with type 2 diabetes. There are two additional drugs, liraglutide and albiglutide, which are GLP-1 analogues and share many of the native GLP-1 effects. Their efficacy, in terms of glycohemoglobin, has proved to be similar to that of insulin but with the advantage of minimizing the risk of hipoglycemia. An antiapoptotic effect on beta cells has been proposed in animal models as well as in human cells cultured
in vitro, which needs further investigation.
