Description

Semaglutide is a synthetic long-acting GLP-1 receptor agonist designed to mimic endogenous glucagon-like peptide-1 signaling. It serves as a powerful research compound for studying glucose metabolism, insulin secretion, appetite regulation, and energy homeostasis.

Through sustained activation of the GLP-1 receptor, Semaglutide enhances insulin release in response to glucose, suppresses glucagon secretion, and delays gastric emptying. These effects make it valuable for experimental exploration of metabolic pathway modulation, nutrient absorption kinetics, and satiety signaling in both in-vitro and in-vivo models.
