Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is an incretin hormone used therapeutically in type 2 diabetes and obesity. The interplay between ambient free fatty acids (FFAs) and GLP-1 remains unclear. Acipimox suppresses adipose tissue lipolysis via activation of the PUMA-G (also known as HCA2 and GPR109a) receptor.
