Semaglutide: The Complete Science Guide (How It Works, What It Treats, What the Research Shows)
Mechanism of Action: Understanding How Semaglutide Works Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonistβa synthetic peptide designed to mimic the naturally occurring hormone GLP-1, which the body produces in response to nutrient intake. The peptide backbone of semaglutide is 94% structurally identical to native GLP-1, with strategic chemical
