l-Arginine, a potent insulin secretagogue [309], also stimulates GLP-1 release from isolated rat intestine, and, when given orally, augments GLP-1 and insulin levels and improves glucose tolerance in mice, effects that are absent in GLP-1R KO mice [305]

Following secretion, PYY is rapidly cleaved by dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) to its active form (PYY 3-36) acting on neuropeptide Y receptor type 2 (Y2R)
