It has been shown to significantly enhance the healing of muscles, tendons, and ligaments while also providing protective effects on the gastrointestinal tract
The review then goes on to the effects of a poor stress response
These shifts correlated with improvements in metabolic parameters, notably, reduced body weight and improved dyslipidemia (lowered LDL-C and total cholesterol), suggesting that modulation of the gut microbiota is one mechanism by which GLP-1 RAs confer metabolic benefits and lipid-lowering effect ( Bacillota and Bacteroidota alters the pool of intestinal metabolites, in particular by increasing taurocholic acid, which in turn stimulates the release of GLP-1 from L cells, improving glucose tolerance ( Bacteroides , members of the family Lachnospiraceae , and the beneficial genus Bifidobacterium , which was linked to lowered intestinal inflammation and improved glycemic control ( Romboutsia, Ruminiclostridium , and Erysipelotrichaceae ) and enriching lean mass-related genera (e.g., Prevotella ), with an increase in the Bacteroidota - Bacillota ratio and a clear correlation between microbial changes and metabolic parameters
