It found that glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 drugs) like Ozempic may be linked to lower depression risk compared to other diabetes drugs, particularly dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors ( DPP4i ) like Januvia
When semaglutide binds to these receptors, it: * Stimulates insulin release from the pancreas * Suppresses glucagon release from the pancreas * Delays gastric emptying to slow the absorption of glucose from the gut * Increases postprandial satisfaction to reduce hunger By stimulating insulin release and suppressing glucagon release, semaglutide helps to lower blood sugar levels and improve insulin sensitivity
