Original Note:
The correct term is "GLP-1 receptor agonists," NOT "GLP inhibitors." GLP-1 receptor agonists mimic the natural hormone glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and ACTIVATE the GLP-1 receptor. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GLP-1_receptor_agonist https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agonist https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glucagon-like_peptide-1_receptor An inhibitor BLOCKS the effect of an enzyme. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enzyme_inhibitor https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/pharmacology-toxicology-and-pharmaceutical-science/enzyme-inhibition https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Receptor_antagonist https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Competitive_inhibition https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-competitive_inhibition
