Your pancreas has GLP-1 receptors that are G-protein-coupled receptors.10 In the presence of GLP-1, these receptors proteins signal the creation of adenylyl cyclase,11 which then converts adenosine triphosphate (ATP) into cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP).12 That cAMP causes the release of insulin, which causes glucose from food to be stored in the liver as glycogen for later use in maintaining a healthy blood sugar.13 Increased levels of GLP-1 are also associated with slower gastric emptying, which means that your stomach fills up faster and stays full longer.14 This effect is one of the main causes of the nausea and stomach discomfort reported as common but mild side effects in studies.6 GLP-1 receptor agonists like Ozempic essentially trick the receptor into thinking its interacting with GLP-1, causing the cascading reaction to increase insulin production.9 How do you take Ozempic and other GLP-1s
