When cultured human L-cells were deprived overnight of glucose and serum and then exposed to high glucose, 10% FBS, and -carrageenan (1 g/ml) for 10 minutes, 1 h, and 24 h, mRNA expression of proglucagon and secretion of GLP-1 were significantly reduced, compared to control cells not exposed to carrageenan
Adverse events with tirzepatide were mainly gastrointestinal-related and mostly mild to moderate in severity
Evoke+ also includes a proposed subset of participants with vascular co-pathology, which will enhance the representativeness of the study population
The medications are generally well-tolerated, though gastrointestinal side effects such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhoea are common, particularly during dose titration
Quick Answer: GLP-1 medications do not directly cause increased thirst, but some patients experience it as an indirect consequence of gastrointestinal side effects like vomiting or diarrhea that lead to dehydration
