GLP-1 stands for glucagon-like peptide-1 , a naturally occurring hormone that helps regulate blood sugar, insulin levels, and appetite
The mechanism of action includes several key effects: Stimulating insulin secretion from the pancreas in a glucose-dependent manner, helping to control blood sugar levels Slowing gastric emptying , which prolongs the feeling of fullness after meals Reducing appetite through effects on brain centres that regulate hunger Decreasing glucagon secretion , which helps prevent excessive glucose production by the liver By targeting these multiple pathways, GLP-1 medications can lead to significant weight loss when combined with lifestyle modifications
