Liraglutide

Liraglutide is a derivative of GLP-1, a naturally occurring peptide known to lower blood sugar levels and enhance insulin secretion. Research shows that Liraglutide (GLP-1 Analogue) may also improve heart, liver, and lung function while helping to slow or prevent the effects of Alzheimer’s disease. Liraglutide has been shown to significantly decrease appetite by delaying gastric emptying and reducing intestinal motility. Liraglutide has been modified to have a longer half-life and more favorable pharmacokinetics.
