Group 2: GLP-1 Drug Class Overview - GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) is a hormone produced by intestinal L cells and is classified as an incretin. GLP-1 receptor agonists are a new class of hypoglycemic drugs that enhance insulin secretion in a glucose-dependent manner, suppress glucagon secretion, and delay gastric emptying, leading to reduced food intake and lower blood sugar levels [17].
