GLP-1 Agonists and DPP-4 Inhibitors How do they work? Part 4
DPP-4 Inhibition and Plasma Levels of GLP-1 DPP-4 inhibition prevents the degradation of active GLP-1 but does not increase GLP-1 secretion nor prevent the kidney from rapidly clearing GLP-1 DPP-4 inhibition also acutely decreases L-cell secretion of GLP-1, most likely via negative feedback inhibition of the L-cell. During a meal, total GLP-1 decreases but active GLP-1 (7-36) increases
