Studying GLP-1 + GIP dual agonism in a single molecule tirzepatide
How semaglutide helps with weight loss Semaglutide mimics a natural hormone in your body (GLP-1) that helps you lose weight in 3 ways: Slows the digestive system so you feel fuller for longer Helps increase and regulate insulin levels Reduces glucagon levels Youll feel fuller for longer and experience fewer food cravings without depriving yourself of food
Both Semaglutide and Tirzepatide work by: Increasing insulin secretion when blood sugar levels are high Reducing glucagon release, which helps prevent the liver from producing too much glucose Slowing gastric emptying, leading to increased satiety and reduced appetite Tirzepatide, specifically, also targets a second receptor, the GIP receptor , further enhancing its effects on weight loss and insulin sensitivity
