Semaglutide is an injectable medication originally developed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Research has shown it also has powerful weight loss effects by acting on appetite centers in the brain to reduce hunger. Compared to other medications, semaglutide has demonstrated superior average weight loss of around 15-20% in clinical trials. This makes it one of the most effective nonsurgical medical therapies for obesity and weight management.
Semaglutide works by mimicking the hormone GLP-1, which is released after eating to signal satiation to the brain. It tells the body it’s full and suppresses further food intake. By activating GLP-1 receptors, semaglutide blunts appetite, leading to decreased calorie consumption and induction of weight loss.
The mechanism behind semaglutide’s weight loss effects involves activation of GLP-1 receptors in several areas of the brain involved in appetite regulation:
Through these central effects, semaglutide allows people to better control food intake, preferences, and portions. Over weeks to months, this cascades into substantive fat burning and weight reduction.
Large clinical trials have demonstrated semaglutide’s superior efficacy for weight loss relative to other anti-obesity medications. Key findings include:
Furthermore, a 2021 study found that over 80% of trial participants who lost weight on semaglutide kept it off for at least 2 years after stopping treatment. This indicates favorable effects on sustaining long-term weight control.
