this effect may counteract the cardiovascular complications by the reduction of the systemic inflammation ( Figure 1 3.2 GLP1-RAs and AMPK GLP-1 (Glucagon-like peptide 1) is an incretin hormone, secreted from L-cells of the small intestine in a glucose-dependent manner, that enables stimulation of insulin secretion, increases pancreatic -cell mass, and inhibits glucagon secretion and gastric emptying, thereby reducing postprandial glycemia
The dual agonists targeting GLP-1 and another receptor (GIP) do not retard gastric emptying, based on reports to date
Each escalation raised the stakes
Scan for full doses, not fairy dust
Understanding how it compares to similar peptides helps contextualize its use
