Some mice were treated with the GLP-1 receptor agonists semaglutide (also known by its popular brand names like Ozempic and Wegovy), exenatide, or tirzepatide (which additionally contains a mimic of another insulin-stimulating hormone called gastric inhibitory polypeptide)
By forming a gel-like matrix in the digestive tract, it slows gastric emptying and the absorption of carbohydrates, which contributes to a more balanced glycemic curve and extended satiety
The pharmacovigilance data shows slightly different reporting odds ratios for alopecia across GLP-1 receptor agonists: Tirzepatide: ROR of 1.73 (95% CI: 1.42-2.09) Semaglutide: ROR of 1.42 (95% CI: 1.3-1.55) Liraglutide: Lower reporting rates, but also less dramatic weight loss The pattern is telling
