Opening a gap for diabetes treatment [image: © ballyscanlon/DigitalVision/Getty] © ballyscanlon/DigitalVision/Getty A clearer understanding of the structure of a receptor involved in the breakdown of glucose could lead to the development of new drugs for type II diabetes. After eating, the hormone glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) combines with the receptor GLP-1R on pancreatic cells, leading to insulin secretion and a reduction in blood glucose.
