Tesamorelin is a synthetic peptide analog that mimics the activity of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH), while Ipamorelin is a growth hormone secretagogue that interacts with ghrelin receptors involved in hormone signaling
When activated, these receptors trigger several beneficial effects: Enhanced insulin secretion in response to elevated blood glucose levels Suppression of glucagon release , reducing hepatic glucose production Delayed gastric emptying , which promotes satiety and reduces appetite Direct effects on appetite centres in the hypothalamus, leading to reduced food intake Commonly prescribed GLP-1 receptor agonists available in the UK include semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy, Rybelsus), dulaglutide (Trulicity), liraglutide (Victoza, Saxenda), and exenatide (Byetta, Bydureon)
They might show up again during dose increases as the body gets used to higher GLP-1 receptor activity
