What it is

Plain-English overview

Semaglutide is the GLP-1 compound that brought incretin-based metabolic research into mainstream discussion. It mimics a gut hormone released after eating.

Mechanism

How it is thought to work

GLP-1 receptor activation supports satiety, slows gastric emptying and helps insulin release when glucose is elevated. Together, those signals are studied for appetite and blood-sugar control.
