The primary mechanisms of action include: Enhancing insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells in a glucose-dependent manner, which helps lower blood glucose levels without causing hypoglycaemia when used alone Suppressing glucagon release from pancreatic alpha cells, reducing hepatic glucose production Slowing gastric emptying , which prolongs the feeling of fullness after meals Acting on appetite centres in the brain , particularly the hypothalamus, to reduce hunger and food intake GLP-1 receptor agonists are typically administered via subcutaneous injection, with dosing frequencies ranging from once daily to once weekly depending on the specific medication, though oral semaglutide (Rybelsus) is also available
