There are several types of GLP medications that engage different types of glucagon receptors, giving them different effects in different people: Single receptor agonists (GLP-1 only): Ozempic, Wegovy, Saxenda Dual receptor agonists (GLP-1 + GIP): Mounjaro, Zepbound Triple receptor agonists (GLP-1 + GIP + glucagon): in development early studies show even greater metabolic effects These medications are changing how we are able to ameliorate obesity, food addiction, insulin resistance, and cardiometabolic risks
