On one hand, it can degrade intestinal mucin glycoproteins by enzymes (such as glycoside hydrolases, proteases, sulfatases, and sialidases) to produce SCFAs, acetates, propionates, and 1,2-propanediol, as well as succinates and sulfates, promoting mucin turnover and thickening, thereby enhancing intestinal barrier function and reducing the permeability of gut microbiota products
Beyond its role in blood sugar control, semaglutide has been shown to be very effective for weight loss
