It acts directly on neighboring -cells to inhibit the secretion of glucagon and can also indirectly influence -cells by inhibiting the secretion of other hormones.243 In the local islet environment, a high concentration of somatostatin creates an inhibitory milieu, further reducing the activity of -cells and the secretion of glucagon.244 Additionally, somatostatin can inhibit gastrointestinal activity, reducing the secretion of pancreatic enzymes and gastric acid, thereby indirectly decreasing the demand for glucagon.245,246 Hence, GLP-1 activates -cells and promotes somatostatin secretion, forming a multi-layered inhibitory mechanism that effectively reduces glucagon secretion
