- Semaglutide is a potent GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) receptor agonist. It mimics the function of the natural incretin hormone GLP-1 that is released from the gut after eating.
- It works in a glucose-dependent manner to:
- Stimulate insulin secretion from the pancreas when blood sugar levels are high.
- Inhibit glucagon release, which prevents the liver from producing excess sugar.
- Slow down gastric emptying, which helps manage post-meal blood sugar spikes and increases the feeling of fullness.
- Act on centers in the brain to reduce appetite, curb food cravings, and promote satiety.
- The molecule is structurally modified to resist degradation by the DPP-4 enzyme and to bind to albumin in the bloodstream. This gives it a very long half-life of approximately one week, allowing for once-weekly administration.
