It is even possible that the insulin-stimulating, glucagon-suppressing effects of the peptide or a more active synthetic analogue may be useful in the treatment of non-insulin-dependent diabetes, in which both impaired insulin release in response to glucose and persistent hyperglucagonemia are thought to be key pathophysiological abnormalities' (Kreymann, Ghattei, Williams, Bloom)

When combined with a healthy lifestyle, GLP-1 weight loss injections can help patients reach and maintain a healthier weight over time
The shared biological properties of exendin-4 and human GLP-1 probably stem from their primary and secondary structures, but exendin-4 is naturally resistant to degradation by the DPP-4 enzyme, attributed to the presence of glycine at position 2, resulting in an intravenous half-life of approximately 30 minutes (85)
Effects of GLP-1-(736)NH2, GLP-1-(737), and GLP-1-(936)NH2 on intravenous glucose tolerance and glucose-induced insulin secretion in healthy humans
