How Mounjaro Works in the Context of PCOS
Mounjaro activates:
- GLP-1 receptors
- GIP receptors
These pathways influence:
- Appetite regulation
- Satiety
- Blood glucose control
Because insulin resistance is common in PCOS, medications affecting incretin pathways may support metabolic regulation when clinically appropriate.
