Evidence from experiments employing somatostatin receptor 2 (SSRT2) antagonists and SSRT2 knockout mice strongly suggests that GLP-1s inhibitory actions on -cells are indirect and partially mediated through somatostatin-dependent mechanisms (132)
He says he often sees advertisements for semaglutide (Wegovy) and asks whether a similar medication could be prescribed for him
Evaluation: Body fat (DXA scanning) Lean mass Insulin sensitivity Energy expenditure What they found: The combination showed an additive effect on fat reduction vs monotherapy AOD-9604 partially protected lean mass during GLP-1-induced weight reduction Increased energy expenditure in combination (~3 % vs GLP-1 alone) No new safety signals Why it matters: It validates the concept of combination , the idea that AOD-9604 may not work on its own, but can add value in combination with incretin agonists
He did the best job and I regret not letting him do my lips too
