GLP-1 Effects on Target Tissues

This template maps the physiological effects of GLP-1 across the body, showing decreased appetite and increased satiety in the brain, increased natriuresis in the kidney, and increased insulin secretion with decreased glucagon secretion in the pancreas. It also lists cardioprotective effects on the heart, increased lipolysis in adipose tissue, and effects on muscle glycogen synthesis and gastric emptying, color-coded by whether they were observed with GLP-1 receptor agonist treatment, at physiological GLP-1 levels, or in preclinical studies.
