What does a GLP-1 Medication like Semaglutide/Tirzepatide do?

When you eat a meal, GLP-1 is released by specialized cells in the intestine. GLP-1 has several important functions in the body, including stimulating the release of insulin from the pancreas and reducing the production of glucagon. Insulin helps to lower blood sugar levels by facilitating the uptake of glucose into cells, while glucagon increases blood sugar levels by promoting the release of stored glucose from the liver.

Semaglutide acts as an agonist, or activator, of the GLP-1 receptors. When semaglutide binds to these receptors, it produces similar effects to GLP-1. The key actions of semaglutide include:

1. Increased insulin secretion: Semaglutide stimulates the pancreatic beta cells to release more insulin into the bloodstream. Insulin helps to move glucose from the blood into the cells, where it can be used for energy or stored for later use.

2. Suppression of glucagon secretion: Semaglutide reduces the release of glucagon, which helps to prevent the liver from producing excessive amounts of glucose. This action helps to lower blood sugar levels.

3. Slowing down gastric emptying: Semaglutide slows down the rate at which food leaves the stomach and enters the small intestine. This delayed gastric emptying helps to regulate the release of glucose into the bloodstream and can contribute to reduced appetite and weight loss.

4. Increased satiety: Semaglutide affects the brain's appetite control center, leading to a feeling of fullness or satiety. This can help to reduce food intake and support weight loss efforts.

By combining these actions, semaglutide helps to improve blood sugar control, reduce HbA1c levels (a measure of long-term blood sugar control), promote weight loss, and potentially decrease the risk of cardiovascular complications in individuals with type 2 diabetes or obesity.

It's important to note that semaglutide should be used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan, which includes a healthy diet, regular exercise, and other diabetes management strategies, as advised by a healthcare professional.
