• Binds to Sulfonylurea Receptors: Glimepiride attaches to specific receptors on pancreatic beta cells, which are responsible for insulin production.
• Insulin Release: This binding initiates a cascade of events leading to increased insulin release from the pancreatic beta cells.
• Blood Glucose Reduction: The additional insulin facilitates glucose uptake in peripheral tissues, such as skeletal muscle, and decreases hepatic glucose output, thus lowering blood glucose levels.
