Liraglutide Dosing Protocol: GLP-1 Daily Guide
Also known as: Victoza, Saxenda, GLP-1 receptor agonist
What is a Peptide?
A short chain of amino acids (2-50) linked by peptide bonds. Smaller than proteins. Your body produces thousands of peptides naturally as signaling molecules that regulate everything from appetite to healing. Therapeutic peptides mimic or enhance these natural signals.
Research reference only. Liraglutide is not FDA approved for human use (unless specified above). This information does not constitute medical advice.
Overview
Liraglutide is an FDA-approved GLP-1 receptor agonist used for type 2 diabetes (Victoza) and obesity (Saxenda). It is a long-acting analog of human GLP-1 with 97% homology.
Mechanisms of Action
- Activates GLP-1 receptors in pancreas stimulating insulin secretion
- Suppresses glucagon release reducing hepatic glucose output
- Slows gastric emptying increasing satiety
- Acts on hypothalamus reducing appetite
