When we take GLP-1 drugs, we're increasing amounts of this natural hormone, triggering insulin to enter our bloodstream and blocking glucose from our system, according to the Cleveland Clinic
Mechanism of Action Glucose Homeostasis: Enhances insulin secretion, suppresses glucagon release Gastric Motility: Delays emptying, promotes satiety signals Cardiovascular: Improves endothelial function, reduces inflammation Neuroprotection: Activates survival pathways, reduces neuroinflammation Renal Protection: Reduces albuminuria, preserves kidney function Hepatic: Improves steatosis, reduces liver inflammation Research Advantages Extended Half-Life: Hours vs
