GLP-1 Receptor Agonists
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists are a class of peptides primarily used for glycemic control and weight management. They work by mimicking the incretin hormones that stimulate insulin secretion and suppress glucagon.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are GLP-1 peptides used for?
GLP-1 peptides are primarily researched for their ability to improve insulin sensitivity, promote weight loss through appetite suppression, and support cardiovascular health.
Do GLP-1 peptides need refrigeration?
Yes, most GLP-1 receptor agonists are proteins that require refrigeration (2-8°C) to maintain stability. They are generally robust but can degrade at room temperature over time.
What is the most stable GLP-1 peptide?
Semaglutide is considered one of the most stable GLP-1 analogs due to structural modifications that protect it from enzymatic degradation.
