Frequently Asked Questions
about Semaglutide, Tirzepatide,
and GLP-1
What is GLP-1
(Glucagon-Like-Peptide-1)?
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is a hormone produced in the intestines that plays a crucial role in glucose metabolism and appetite regulation. It is classified as an incretin, a type of hormone that stimulates insulin secretion in response to food intake.​​​​​​​​​​
Functions of GLP-1
-
Appetite Regulation: GLP-1 contributes to feelings of fullness and reduces appetite, making it a target for weight management strategies.
​​​
-
Insulin Secretion: GLP-1 enhances insulin release from the pancreas, especially when blood sugar levels are elevated. This helps lower blood sugar levels after meals.
​
-
Glucagon Suppression: It inhibits the release of glucagon, a hormone that raises blood sugar levels, helping maintain balanced glucose levels.
​​
-
Slowing Gastric Emptying: By slowing the rate at which food leaves the stomach, GLP-1 helps control post-meal blood sugar spikes.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
GLP-1 Agonists: What are they?
Medications that mimic GLP-1, known as GLP-1 receptor agonists, have gained attention in recent years for their roles in treating type 2 diabetes and obesity. GLP-1 receptor agonists are typically prescribed to help manage these health conditions.
​
Examples of medications that mimic GLP-1 include:
-
Liraglutide (Saxenda, Victoza)
-
Semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy)
-
Tirzepatide (Zepbound, Mounjaro)
​
​
These medications not only help control blood sugar levels but also promote weight loss, making them beneficial for patients with both diabetes and obesity.​​​​​​​​​​​​
Semaglutide vs Tirzepatide: What's the difference?
Semaglutide is primarily used as a GLP-1 receptor agonist for treating type 2 diabetes and has become popular for weight loss.
Tirzepatide serves a similar purpose by treating type 2 diabetes and promoting weight loss as well.
While tirzepatide functions as a GLP-1 receptor agonist like semaglutide, it also acts as a GIP receptor agonist (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) another hormone released by the body after eating.
​
Both semaglutide and tirzepatide mimic hormones that your body naturally produces after meals. They help slow the emptying of the stomach, which reduces hunger and extends the feeling of fullness by sending signals to the brain indicating that you’re satisfied.
The main difference between the two is that tirzepatide mimics two hormones, where semaglutide mimics only one.​​​​​​
Potential Benefits and Side Effects
While GLP-1 receptor agonists can be highly effective, they may also have side effects, including nausea, vomiting, and digestive issues.
​
An effective tool for weight loss, patients using GLP-1 treatments see the most success when combined with a healthy diet and exercise.
​​​
It's essential for individuals considering these treatments to consult healthcare professionals for personalized advice. Schedule your complimentary consultation and find out more information about GLP-1 weight loss treatments.​​​​
