Delayed Gastric Emptying One of cagrilintide's most pronounced effects is slowing the rate of gastric emptying through activation of amylin receptors in the area postrema and vagal afferent pathways [5] : Central Nervous System Signaling: Activation of AMY1 receptors in the area postrema initiates vagal efferent signals that reduce gastric motility and pyloric relaxation [15] Direct Peripheral Effects: AMY3 receptor activation in the stomach and proximal small intestine may contribute to local motor function regulation [16] Metabolic Consequences: Delayed gastric emptying reduces the rate of glucose appearance in the bloodstream, lowering postprandial glucose excursions without increasing insulin demand [5] In Phase 2 trials, cagrilintide demonstrated dose-dependent reductions in gastric emptying rate, with effects sustained over the week-long dosing interval [9]
