Semaglutide is a medication that belongs to a class of drugs known as glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists
. It mimics the effects of the natural GLP-1 hormone, which is released in the gut after eating.
GLP-1 has several functions related to regulating blood sugar and appetite. Semaglutide essentially amplifies these effects, leading to:
- Improved glycemic control: It helps the pancreas release insulin in response to high blood sugar levels and reduces the amount of sugar produced by the liver, which is especially important for people with type 2 diabetes.
- Weight management: It influences areas of the brain that control appetite, leading to a reduced desire for food and a feeling of fullness. It also slows down gastric emptying, further contributing to weight loss.
