Additionally, its design limits its affinity for IGF-binding proteins (IGFBPs), which normally restrict IGF-1s activity
Their primary mechanisms of action include: Enhancing glucose-dependent insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells Suppressing glucagon release , thereby reducing hepatic glucose production Slowing gastric emptying , which moderates post-meal glucose spikes Reducing appetite through central nervous system effects, particularly in hypothalamic regions Promoting satiety , leading to reduced caloric intake These medications have demonstrated significant benefits in glycaemic control, weight reduction, and cardiovascular risk reduction in clinical trials
