What Is Semaglutide?
Semaglutide is a peptide that mimics a naturally occurring hormone called GLP-1. This hormone is released after eating and plays a role in blood sugar regulation, appetite, and energy storage.
How It Works
By binding to GLP-1 receptors, semaglutide is studied for its ability to influence insulin release, slow digestion, and reduce appetite signals. Researchers are also studying its cardiovascular implications.
