[8] [9] GLP-1 medications work through several complementary mechanisms: Enhancing insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells in response to elevated blood glucose Suppressing glucagon release , which reduces glucose production by the liver Slowing gastric emptying , helping you feel fuller for longer Acting on appetite centres in the brain to reduce hunger and food intake In the UK, commonly prescribed GLP-1 receptor agonists include semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy, Rybelsus), dulaglutide (Trulicity), liraglutide (Victoza, Saxenda), lixisenatide (Lyxumia) and exenatide (Byetta, Bydureon)
Activation of the modified GIPR and GLP-1R constructs by tirzepatide were confirmed by cAMP accumulation and receptor binding assays, showing similar responses to those of the wild-type (WT) receptors (Supplementary Fig
