Mechanism of action of GLP-1 agonists: GLP-1 agonists mimic the action of the naturally occurring incretin hormone GLP-1. They stimulate insulin secretion, suppress glucagon secretion, slow gastric emptying, and promote satiety. Appetite suppressant receptor locations actions on the body: GLP-1 receptors are located in the brain, particularly in areas involved in appetite regulation. Activation of these receptors leads to reduced appetite and increased feelings of fullness.
