Reading Time: 2 minutesIntroduction Semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, has gained significant attention for its efficacy in managing type 2 diabetes and aiding weight loss. While its metabolic benefits are well-documented, emerging research suggests that semaglutide may also influence respiratory function. This article delves into the potential effects of semaglutide on lung health, specifically focusing on American males, a demographic increasingly affected by respiratory diseases. Semaglutide: A Brief Overview Semaglutide operates by mimicking the incretin hormone GLP-1, which enhances insulin secretion and suppresses glucagon release, thereby reducing blood glucose levels. Additionally, it slows gastric emptying and promotes satiety, contributing to weight … Continue reading →
