Isn't Reta just an appetite suppressant like semaglutide?
Reta:
Triple-agonist mechanism GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon
GLP-1 -- activates GLP-1 receptors in the brain to reduce appetite and make you feel fuller for longer, which leads to reduced food intake.
GIP, or Gastric Inhibitory Polypeptide -- is a hormone secreted from the intestine after a meal that stimulates insulin secretion to control blood sugar levels. It also influences other bodily functions, including fat deposition, bone formation, and potentially weight regulation and satiety by acting on receptors in the brain.
Glucagon -- The activation of glucagon receptors increases the body's ability to break down fat for energy.
sema:
Single agonist mechanism GLP-1
Activates GLP-1 receptors in the brain to reduce appetite and make you feel fuller for longer, which leads to reduced food intake.
Slows digestion: It delays gastric emptying, keeping food in the stomach longer and extending the feeling of fullness after eating.
Regulates blood sugar: It enhances insulin secretion in response to high blood sugar and decreases glucagon release from the liver, which helps stabilize blood glucose levels.
