GLP-1 is released from intestinal L-cells in a biphasic pattern following meal ingestion: an initial early peak within 1015 minutes, driven primarily by neural and endocrine signals from the upper gastrointestinal tract, is followed by a sustained second peak at 3060 minutes driven by direct nutrient contact with L-cells in the distal ileum and colon
