The drug's primary action involves binding to both GIP and GLP-1 receptors, which are naturally occurring incretin hormones that regulate glucose metabolism and appetite
first reported a polymorphism in GPx1, namely, a substitution at codon 198 of either proline (Pro) or leucine (Leu), Pro198Leu (SNP: 1050450), in lung cancer [87]

They work by engaging the same receptors on target cells as glucagon does, triggering a cascade of different effects in our body including blood sugar regulation, insulin secretion and appetite control and potentially even immune modulation
