Incretins are gut hormones that stimulate insulin release from the pancreas when glucose rises in response to food ingestion

How GLP-1 Medications Work in This Age Group GLP-1 medications like semaglutide (the active ingredient in Ozempic and Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro and Zepbound) work by mimicking gut hormones that regulate appetite and blood sugar

Further studies investigating the safety of these agents as it relates to the management surrounding the peri-anesthetic period are needed

3 GLP-1s anti-inflammatory properties Recent scientific research has increasingly highlighted the potential anti-inflammatory role of GLP-1

Hospitals adoption of GLP-1 receptor agonists is driven by their ability to manage and treat diabetic patients with a variety of therapeutic options, from daily injections to newly available oral formulations
