I have been using this technology for two years in my office, and patients are very happy!
Additionally, GLP-1 suppresses glucagon release from pancreatic alpha cells, delays gastric emptying and enhances satiety (27)
With a suppressed appetite, GLP-1 users consume fewer calories, meaning the few meals they do eat need to be packed with nutrients
2,3 In addition to these mechanisms, GLP-1 RAs also delay gastric emptying, thereby contributing to enhanced postprandial glucose regulation and increased satiety, ultimately supporting reduced caloric intake and weight management
Published Phase 2 effect sizes most prominently the ~24 percent mean body weight reduction at the 12 mg dose tier in the obesity Phase 2 (PMID 37366315) exceed those reported for dual or single agonists at comparable durations, an outcome that researchers attribute to the additional glucagon-arm contribution to body-composition and energy-expenditure pathways
These are all related but not identical
