🧬 What Is Semaglutide?

🧬 What Is Semaglutide?

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist, originally developed to manage type 2 diabetes. It mimics the hormone glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), enhancing insulin secretion, suppressing glucagon release, slowing gastric emptying, and reducing appetite. These combined effects contribute to improved blood sugar control and significant weight loss.flipper.diff.org+3Nature+3Wikipedia+3


🔬 How Semaglutide Works in the Body

Semaglutide binds to GLP-1 receptors, leading to:

  • Enhanced insulin secretion: Stimulates insulin release in a glucose-dependent manner.

  • Glucagon suppression: Reduces glucagon secretion, lowering hepatic glucose production.

  • Delayed gastric emptying: Slows down stomach emptying, promoting satiety.

  • Appetite regulation: Acts on the brain's appetite centers to decrease hunger. MDPI+1Nature+1

These mechanisms collectively aid in weight reduction and improved glycemic control.Mayo Clinic+5Skinlogic+5The Guardian+5


Benefits of Semaglutide

  • Weight Loss: Clinical trials have shown that semaglutide can lead to significant weight loss in individuals with obesity.

  • Cardiovascular Health: Reduces the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events in individuals with type 2 diabetes and established cardiovascular disease.

  • Improved Glycemic Control: Helps in lowering HbA1c levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes.

  • Potential Kidney Benefits: May reduce the risk of kidney disease progression in patients with type 2 diabetes.NatureWikipediaNew England Journal of Medicine
