Mechanism of Action Glucose Homeostasis: Enhances insulin secretion, suppresses glucagon release Gastric Motility: Delays emptying, promotes satiety signals Cardiovascular: Improves endothelial function, reduces inflammation Neuroprotection: Activates survival pathways, reduces neuroinflammation Renal Protection: Reduces albuminuria, preserves kidney function Hepatic: Improves steatosis, reduces liver inflammation Research Advantages Extended Half-Life: Hours vs
Beyond 6 months: Weight loss continues at a slower rate
