Weight loss is a secondary benefit, typically less than whats observed with GLP-1 receptor agonists
Besides, the other sources of endogenous ROS include the protoplasm (NADPH oxidases, hemoglobin, riboflavin), the endoplasmic reticulum (Cytochromes P450 and b5), the peroxisomes (oxidases, flavoproteins), and lysosomes (myeloperoxidase, metal ions) [32]
GLP-1 helps regulate blood sugar by stimulating insulin release, suppressing glucagon (which raises blood sugar), and slowing gastric emptying
But it also brought side effects she considered unbearable, including vomiting, fatigue, headaches and stomach cramps
Skipping doses causes the medication levels in your blood to fluctuate, which can lead to increased side effects when you restart and stalled progress
