It primarily works by stimulating the production of telomerase, an enzyme that helps maintain and repair telomeres, which are protective parts of DNA that deteriorate as we age
Semaglutides (Ozempic and Wegovy) are a class of molecules known as GLP-1 (Glucagon-like peptide 1) receptor agonists that mimic a hormone, GLP-1, in the body to increase the secretion of insulin, lower glucagon, control sugar spikes, and suppress appetite, leading to weight loss
GLP-1 receptor agonists differ in their structural similarity to native human GLP-1, with some being modified peptides and others being exendin-4 analogues
