While this area of research is still growing, the early results are promising
Losing weight is not something your body wants you to do, its more or less an evolutionary fact that it is very much in support of you retaining excess calories to use as energy later when you are getting chased by a tiger or something
Similarly, trials examining the reverse scenarioadding a GLP-1 agonist to DPP-4 inhibitor therapyhave shown that whilst some glycaemic improvement occurs, it is primarily attributable to the GLP-1 agonist itself, with the DPP-4 inhibitor contributing minimally
They mimic the action of the GLP-1 hormone, a natural hormone produced by the body after eating, stimulate the release of insulin, and slow down gastric emptying
