Think of it as a cellular security guard that identifies unstable molecules, known as free radicals, and neutralizes them before they can harm your DNA or cellular structures
In an environment characterized by oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction, the presence of oxLDL further increases the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines (e.g., tumor necrosis factor , interleukin [IL]-6 and IL-1) and the expression of adhesion molecules (including vascular cell adhesion protein [VCAM]-1, monocyte chemoattractant protein [MCP]-1, intercellular adhesion molecule [ICAM]-1 and E-selectin) by monocytes and macrophages ( GLP-1 receptor stimulation appears to attenuate these processes in preclinical models and human studies in various ways
Prescribing guidelines for several GLP-1s warn about risk of suicidal thoughts and self-injury, and the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) identified a signal that linked the GLP-1s and suicidality
