Lorenz M et al. 2013 showed that short-acting GLP-1 receptor agonists (lixisenatide) at a dose of 20 μg daily lowers postprandial hyperglycemia excursions in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus, probably caused by the continuous slowing of stomach emptying [7]. The gene discussed is GLP1R; the disease is type 2 diabetes mellitus.
