Conversely, in rats the distal ileum and in pigs the caecum are the anatomical regions with the highest amounts of GLP-1 ( + cell densities, indicating a possible translational resistance ( Figure 1 The L-cells derived cocktail of hormones is believed to play pivotal roles in digestion, for example slowing down the GI motility (PYY) and suppressing the appetite in vivo (GLP-1, oxyntomodulin, PYY), apparently in response to direct sensing of the gut luminal content via G-protein coupled receptors or through neuronal circuits ( Current in vitro technologies are not capable to support for long-term ex vivo the growth of isolated GLP-1 producing-cells
No, current evidence indicates that metabolic rate reductions during GLP-1 treatment are primarily due to weight loss itself rather than a direct drug effect
Together, these findings position Lilly to lead the next era of cardiometabolic care, with a differentiated suite of approved and investigational medicines built to expand choice for the millions living with obesity, diabetes and related conditions
Limitations Reflect Gaps in Ophthalmologic Monitoring The researchers acknowledged several study limitations, including substantial variability in assessment methods, the absence of a specific ICD-10 code for NAION, and the exclusion of participants with advanced diabetic eye disease, and stressed the need for additional research regarding the relationship between semaglutide and NAION The authors concluded, Treatment with semaglutide in adults was not associated with an increased risk of eye disorders or DR in this study, and future studies are unlikely to change these results
