What Does the Research Show
GLP-1 exerts its effects through several key mechanisms: Glucose-dependent insulin secretion : GLP-1 stimulates pancreatic beta cells to release insulin, but only when blood glucose levels are elevated, reducing the risk of hypoglycaemia Glucagon suppression : It inhibits the release of glucagon from pancreatic alpha cells, thereby reducing hepatic glucose production Delayed gastric emptying : GLP-1 slows the rate at which food leaves the stomach, leading to more gradual glucose absorption and increased satiety Appetite regulation : Acting on brain centres, GLP-1 promotes feelings of fullness and reduces food intake Prescription GLP-1 receptor agonists (such as semaglutide, dulaglutide, and liraglutide) are synthetic analogues designed to mimic and enhance these natural effects
Careful concentration calculation prevents this
Monitor for any unusual reactions in the first 24 to 48 hours after starting a new peptide
1 With this approval, and by launching a generic for Saxenda (liraglutide injection), we will provide patients in the US the first ever generic GLP-1 product specifically indicated for weight loss, Ernie Richardsen, senior vice president and head of US commercial generics at Teva Pharmaceuticals, said in a news release
