How GLP-1 medicines work

Read the transcript

After you eat, your gut releases a hormone called GLP-1. GLP-1 medicines copy it, but last much longer in the body.
It slows how fast your stomach empties, so you feel full sooner and stay full for longer.
It also acts on appetite centers in the brain, which quiets hunger and constant thoughts about food.
When blood sugar is high, it helps the pancreas release insulin. Tirzepatide also acts on a second gut hormone, GIP.
