IGF-1 LR3: What Researchers Need to Know First When we talk with researchers, the topic of Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1) almost always comes up
More research is needed to understand the effects of GLP-1s on weight loss
The eye serves as a key marker of oxidative damage (72, 73)
More male patients reported gastrointestinal AEs from GLP-1 RAs (54.19%)
However, given high GLP-1 costs and discontinuation rates, success among even a modest proportion of individuals could greatly augment overall efficacy and cost-effectiveness of GLP-1 therapy
The new drugs, which were originally developed to treat diabetes, are targeting the biology that makes weight so hard to lose and keep off: They dial down hunger in the brain, slow gastric emptying, and improve post-meal insulin signaling
