Although the specific mechanisms are not understood, reports indicate that semaglutide can modulate inflammatory processes by reducing levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor- (TNF-) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP)
The glucagon receptor activation, which is the unique component missing from both semaglutide and tirzepatide, promotes energy expenditure and modulates hepatic glucose production, leading to increased thermogenesis and lipid mobilization
