Mechanism of Semaglutide Weight Loss

Semaglutide is an analog of GLP-1 and shares 94% homology with the human GLP-1 sequence. As a GLP-1 receptor agonist, it binds to GLP-1 receptors and initiates a series of hypoglycemic events, including stimulating insulin secretion and reducing glucagon secretion. In addition, semaglutide can repair damaged endometrium, enhance endothelial function, and benefit the cardiovascular system.

Regarding weight loss, semaglutide can also act on the digestive tract, causing delayed emptying and increasing satiety; In addition, it can suppress appetite by acting on the brain.
