Hormonal
GLP-1 receptor agonists delay gastric emptying, which reduces postprandial lipid and carbohydrate surges and contributes to satiety.
GLP-1 medications slow down how fast food leaves your stomach. This helps you feel full longer and prevents sharp spikes in blood sugar after meals.
StrongSupportsHIGH confidence
GLP-1 delays the gastric emptying, thereby reducing the postprandial lipid and carbohydrate surges. This effect of GLP-1 is at least partially mediated by the neuronal pathway, including afferent vagal nerve, brainstem (e.g., NST), and efferent vagal nerve.
