Have you heard about semaglutide injections for weight loss yet? It seems like everyone is talking about it these days and for good reason. Semaglutide injections are a type of GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide 1) antagonist. GLP-1 is a naturally occurring hormone found in your body and it plays a large role in regulating hunger. The hormone is released in the body after eating. It helps to slow digestion which allows you to feel full faster and longer. GLP-1 also suppresses another hormone, glucagon, which can help reduce feelings of hunger.
GLP-1 agonists bind themselves to GLP-1 receptors, and mimic the effects of naturally-occuring GLP-1. They can also help to improve insulin sensitivity and lower blood sugar levels. GLP-1 agonists are administered as an injection on a weekly basis. In recent large RCTs (randomized control trials) patients with obesity lost a mean of 6% of their weight by week 12 and 12% of their weight by week 28.
