Amylin's primary physiological functions include [11] : Slowing gastric emptying: Delays the rate at which food enters the small intestine, reducing post-meal glucose spikes Controlling glucose metabolism: Reduces inappropriate hepatic glucose output during meals Promoting satiety: Acts on area postrema in the brainstem to reduce food intake In type 2 diabetes, amylin secretion is impaired alongside insulin deficiency, contributing to postprandial hyperglycemia and dysregulated satiety [12]
As of 2025, tirzepatide (Mounjaro or Zepbound) and semaglutide (Wegovy/Ozempic) are brand-name medications and often expensive

Mechanistically, we show that b-AP15 induced expression of the TRAIL receptor Death Receptor 5 (DR5)/TRAIL Receptor 2 (TRAILR2), which was required for b-AP15-mediated TRAIL sensitisation
Bupropion is taken orally, and while tirzepatide does delay gastric emptying, this effect is continuous throughout the week rather than spiked on injection day
