PRODUCT INFO
Cagrilintide is a long-acting amylin analog peptide currently in clinical trials for the treatment of obesity and type 2 diabetes. Here's a breakdown of what it is and how it works:
-
It's a synthetic analog of amylin, a hormone co-secreted with insulin by the pancreas.
-
Amylin plays a role in regulating appetite, slowing gastric emptying, and controlling post-meal glucose spikes.
-
Cagrilintide mimics amylin’s effects to:
-
Reduce hunger
-
Increase satiety (feeling of fullness)
-
Lower food intake
-
It’s often studied in combination with GLP-1 receptor agonists
