GLP-1 Agonists: Semaglutide, Tirzepatide & Metabolic Regulation

Metabolic peptides are currently one of the most researched and searched peptide categories.

Why This Class Matters

• Strong clinical activity in metabolic endpoints for approved contexts
• High public interest and high misinformation risk
• Frequent confusion between molecule-specific effects and class effects

Mechanism Focus

• GLP-1 signaling influences appetite, gastric emptying, and glycemic pathways.
• Dual agonists introduce additional pathway effects and may shift outcomes.

What to Compare

• Trial population and endpoint definitions
• Discontinuation and tolerability patterns
• Access and regulatory context

Practical Takeaway

Interpret performance claims in the context of study design, not headline-level comparisons.
