Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist. [14] [15] [16] The drug decreases blood sugar levels. The decrease is theorized to be caused by the mimicking of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), an incretin. [40] It also appears to enhance growth of pancreatic beta cells, which are responsible for insulin production and release.
Most type 2 diabetes injections for weight loss are glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists. These drugs mimic the GLP-1 hormone, which is made in your gastrointestinal tract when you ...

[10] [17] Tirzepatide is a gastric inhibitory polypeptide analog and GLP-1 receptor agonist ...
Wegovy is a once-weekly injection approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat obesity in people 12 and over. ... Wegovy mimics the GLP-1 hormone (glucagon-like peptide-1) that ...
Peptide therapeutics are peptides or polypeptides (oligomers or short polymers of amino acids) which are used to for the treatment of diseases. Naturally occurring peptides may serve as hormones , growth factors , neurotransmitters , ion channel ligands , and anti-infectives ; peptide therapeutics mimic such functions.
Retatrutide (LY-3437943) is an experimental drug for obesity developed by American pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly and Company.It is a triple glucagon hormone receptor agonist (GLP-1, GIP, and GCGR receptors). [1]
