If GLP-1 secretion is consistently inhibited, which consequence follows regarding insulin and glucagon regulation?

💡 Explanation

Impaired glucose-dependent insulin secretion results because GLP-1 stimulates insulin release in response to glucose and suppresses glucagon secretion. Without GLP-1, this glucose-dependent stimulation is lost, therefore the secretion is impaired, rather than enhanced, and beta-cell proliferation is not a direct consequence.

• During acute inflammation, why does activated NF-κB contribute to inflammation resolution, despite initially promoting pro-inflammatory cytokine production?
• Why does bronchospasm occur during an asthma attack?
• Why does thyroid hormone (T4) production decrease when iodine intake acutely drops below the minimum required for thyroglobulin iodination?
• Why does muscle fiber AP firing rate fail despite continued stimulation during high-intensity exercise?
