Peptides are chains of amino acids linked by peptide bonds. In the GLP-1 context. The word may refer to a naturally occurring signaling peptide.

Amino acids are building blocks that can link into chains. Peptides are generally shorter amino-acid chains. Proteins are generally longer chains folded into functional structures.
