    hormone that regulates blood sugar and promotes fullness

    Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 (GLP-1) is a hormone produced in the gut that plays a crucial role in regulating blood sugar levels by enhancing insulin secretion and inhibiting glucagon release after eating. It also slows gastric emptying and promotes a feeling of fullness, making it a target for treatments in type 2 diabetes and obesity.

It suggests that joke posts keep the community engaging, despite some users taking absurd claims seriously.
