GLP-1 receptor agonists work by stimulating GLP-1 receptors in the body, which leads to several beneficial effects: Increased insulin secretion: GLP-1 receptor agonists promote insulin release from the pancreas, helping to lower blood sugar levels Reduced glucagon secretion: These medications inhibit the release of glucagon, a hormone that increases blood sugar levels, thereby reducing glucose production Slowed gastric emptying: GLP-1 receptor agonists slow down the emptying of the stomach, leading to increased feelings of fullness and reduced appetite Additionally, tirzepatide, the active ingredient in Mounjaro works on GIP receptors
