Chronic glucagon-like peptide-1 infusion sustains left ventricular systolic function and prolongs survival in the spontaneously hypertensive, heart failure-prone rat
Over the last couple of decades, Pratley says, the scientific research community has learned that incretin hormones, including GLP-1, GIP, and others, are important regulators of metabolism with impacts on glycemia, lipids, and body weight
In the last few years, pharmaceutical advancements have led to a new class of drugs that treat Type 2 diabetes and obesity
So it was very important for our chain of thought and decision early on that we actually knew that GLP-1 had these separate effects and that they could work in the brain and have a separate effect on well-known pathways in the brain
Over time, this may result in: Brighter skin tone Reduced pigmentation Improved skin clarity However, results vary based on genetics, lifestyle, and adherence to treatment
