How does Tirzepatide Work?

Tirzepatide is a prescription medication that functions as both a GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist. These effects help manage blood sugar levels, curb appetite by slowing digestive processes, and encourage weight loss.

An agonist medication acts on specific receptors to trigger physiological responses; GIP and GLP-1 agonists such as Tirzepatide act on GIP/GLP-1 receptors to trigger insulin release.

GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) is a hormone composed of 30 amino acids.  This hormone is produced by the endocrine cells located within the intestinal walls. GLP-1 belongs to an incretin class of hormones that helps increase insulin production, which decreases elevated blood sugar levels and leads to weight loss.  Glucose dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) is another incretin that has an impact on this production process.

Tirzepatide stands out from similar medications, such as Semaglutide, by acting as a GLP-1 agonist and GIP agonist, giving patients more substantial weight loss effects with fewer adverse side effects such as nausea or upset stomach.
