    Glossary GLP-1 receptor agonists

    mimic a hormone to regulate blood sugar and promote fullness

    GLP-1 receptor agonists are a class of medications that mimic the action of the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) hormone, which helps regulate blood sugar levels by enhancing insulin secretion and inhibiting glucagon release. They are commonly used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes and can also promote weight loss by slowing gastric emptying and increasing feelings of fullness.
