Tirzepatide and semaglutide operate through distinct molecular mechanisms, with tirzepatide functioning as a dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist while semaglutide selectively targets GLP-1 receptors. Both medications require weekly subcutaneous administration with gradual dose escalation, though tirzepatide shows slightly higher gastrointestinal side effects. Their divergent receptor activation patterns and pharmacodynamic properties explain the observed differences in clinical outcomes and therapeutic potential. Further analysis reveals…

Blood Glucose & Diabetes Substances that act similar to GLP agonists – so-called GLP-1 agonists – are used as anti-diabetic medications. GLP-1 increases insulin and decreases glucagon levels, which will result in decreased blood glucose [8, 9]. GLP-1 seems to delay stomach emptying, which slows down glucose spikes and makes it easier for the body to maintain blood sugar levels right after…
