In the periphery, pre-proglucagon derived peptides, Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 (GLP-1), Glucagon-Like Peptide-2 (GLP-2) and oxyntomodulin (OXM) are involved in a wide variety of physiological functions, including glucose homeostasis, gastric emptying, intestinal growth, insulin secretion as well as the regulation of food intake
Complementary peptides and compounds Some researchers explore combinations that address aspects of weight loss and body composition that semaglutide does not directly target
Ozempic (semaglutide) may be taking the world by storm, but Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is quickly gaining recognition for its remarkable weight loss results
Important Considerations: Because it requires daily administration, Saxenda may be less convenient
Tracking progress beyond the scale If you take one thing from this entire article, let it be this: the scale is the least reliable measure of progress during tirzepatide treatment
