Description
Pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of albiglutide, a long-acting glucagon-like peptide-1 mimetic, in patients with type 2 diabetes
How they work: Slow down digestion (you feel full longer) Reduce appetite Help regulate blood sugar levels Improve insulin response Unlike phentermine, GLP-1s focus on hormonal regulation , not just appetite suppression
Liver (Hepatic Glucose and Lipid Metabolism): By suppressing glucagon and increasing insulin, GLP-1 RAs reduce hepatic glucose production (gluconeogenesis) (Zheng et al., 2024)
On a more positive note, new research also recently found a link between chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) symptoms and GLP-1 medications
