What Amylin Does (Context)
Amylin is a hormone naturally released alongside insulin that helps:

Slow gastric emptying
Reduce post-meal glucagon release
Regulate food intake through central nervous system signaling
Cagrilintide is engineered to mimic and enhance these effects, while lasting longer in the body.
