It plays a significant role in insulin secretion, appetite regulation, and gut motility. Recently, a novel peptide known as GLP1-T has emerged, which demonstrates enhanced therapeutic potential for metabolic disorders, particularly type 2 diabetes and obesity. This article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of GLP1-T, including its mechanism of action, clinical applications, |

| - | Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is characterized by insulin resistance and inadequate insulin secretion. The use of GLP1-T in clinical settings has shown promising results in improving glycemic control among patients with T2DM. Clinical trials have demonstrated that GLP1-T significantly lowers HbA1c levels, a key marker for long-term glucose control.

The most commonly reported adverse effects include gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. These effects are generally mild to moderate and tend to diminish over time as the body adjusts to the medication. Other potential side effects include pancreatitis and thyroid C-cell tumors, although these risks appear to be low and require further investigation. |
