It works by increasing insulin secretion, decreasing glucagon levels when glucose is elevated, and slowing gastric emptying, which helps control blood sugar and promotes satiety
Smaller portions, weaker cravings and more restrained eating behaviours may no longer be short-term disruptions, but increasingly normalised patterns of consumption
and deepening mechanistic investigations to clarify direct mechanisms of incretin receptor signalling in fibroblasts and immune cells across different tissue types
While all GLP-1s effectively reduce HbA1c levels, long-acting weekly GLP-1s like semaglutide and dulaglutide tend to be more effective in reducing fasting glucose and HbA1c levels compared to shorter-acting medications used daily
