Tirzepatide works by mimicking and enhancing the activity of two naturally occurring hormones, GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) and GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide). These hormones regulate glucose metabolism, appetite, and energy balance. Tirzepatide increases insulin secretion in response to increased blood glucose levels and reduces glucagon secretion, a hormone that typically raises blood sugar levels, thereby reducing post-meal blood sugar levels. Tirzepatide also slows the rate at which food exits the stomach and enters the small intestine. This prolongs the feeling of fullness after meals, reducing the urge to eat more. It also suppresses appetite by acting on brain receptors that control hunger and satiety. These combined effects help regulate blood sugar levels and support sustainable weight loss.
