Mounjaro acts in the following ways1

1. ENHANCES

insulin secretion

2. IMPROVES

insulin sensitivity.

3. DECREASES

food intake.

Additional actions include delayed gastric emptying* and reduced glucagon levels.

Resulting in lower glucose concentration in both fasting and postprandial states.

*This effect diminishes over time.

GIP=glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide; GLP-1=glucagon-like peptide-1; RA=receptor agonist; T2D=type 2 diabetes.
