The primary mechanism of action involves: Enhancing insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells in a glucose-dependent manner, which helps lower blood sugar levels without causing hypoglycaemia when glucose levels are normal [3] [4] Suppressing glucagon release , thereby reducing glucose production by the liver Slowing gastric emptying , which prolongs the feeling of fullness after meals Acting on appetite centres in the brain , particularly the hypothalamus, to reduce hunger and food intake When administered as medication, GLP-1 receptor agonists mimic these natural effects but with enhanced duration and potency
