Semaglutide works through several mechanisms: Appetite suppression: It acts on receptors in the brain to reduce hunger and increase feelings of fullness Delayed gastric emptying: It slows the rate at which food leaves the stomach, prolonging satiety Improved glycaemic control: It enhances insulin secretion and reduces glucagon release in a glucose-dependent manner These combined effects lead to reduced caloric intake and, consequently, weight loss
