glp-1 receptor mechanism of action agonists (GLP-1RAs): cardiovascular actions and therapeutic potential GLP-1R Signaling | Encyclopedia MDPI

Glucose is a sugar derived from carbohydrates in the foods you eat, and your glucose levels are regulated by insulin.16 Your cells need glucose for energy, but having too much of it can overwhelm your bodys insulin response and lead to diabetes.17 However, with MOTS-c circulating in high concentrations, not only can your cells use glucose more efficiently, but your body can more effectively modulate insulin action
