Semaglutide slows gastric emptying, meaning food remains in the stomach for longer before passing into the small intestine
Additionally, the suppression of pro-inflammatory cytokines (e.g., TNF-, IL-6) and inflammatory pathways, including the blocking of NF-B activation [39, 91], contributes to the establishment of an anti-inflammatory environment that can mitigate oxidative stress and inflammation induced muscle protein catabolism, thereby supporting the preservation of SMM and functional capacity [40]
Key Foods For Boosting GLP-1 Foods high in fiber, protein, and healthy fats increase GLP-1 secretion in the gut
