Insulin secretion is normally stimulated by
Correct Answer: GLP-1
Description: Insulin secretion is normally stimulated by GLP-1. Glucagon like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide(GIP) are called incretins and potent stimulators of insulin secretion. They also inhibit glucagon secretion. They are released in the gastrointestinal tract after a person eats a meal. They then cause an "anticipatory" increase in blood insulin in preparation for the glucose and aminoacids to be absorbed from the meal.
