first large study of glp 1 receptor agonists during pregnancy Frontiers Discontinuing GLP-1s Before or Early
Description
GLP-1RA: standardized mean difference -0.27

More than 9000 patients were included with follow up of 3.8 years

If you don't have enough GLP-1, or if it doesn't work the way it should in your body, a GLP-1 agonist can act like GLP-1 and give your system a boost

When GLP-1RAs act on the gastrointestinal tract, they could extend the gastric emptying time
287,288 This binding initiates typical GPCR signaling, leading to G protein activation and increased intracellular cAMP

Mechanism and duration of action : Prescription semaglutide provides continuous GLP-1 receptor activation throughout the week due to its extended half-life and high receptor binding affinity
