GLP-1, acting on its receptor, has physiological actions on multiple target organs: it increases glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in pancreatic beta cells, reduces glucagon secretion by cells, improves insulin sensitivity and reduces food intake.26 In cellular and murine models GLP-1 promotes cell neogenesis and inhibits their apoptosis.27 Insulin secretion induced by GLP-1 is dependent of the glycemia and therefore does not induce hypoglycemia (Fig
